Etude House 04

Being in a very shimmery mood lately, here's Etude House 04. This is blue with medium sized glitter.

It's more to torqouise though but the picture shows up more blue. Application and drying time was really good. It's not too thick nor watery. This is 2 coats.

Overall, I think this is a great colour!

Again, I got a little bored with the colour after a day. Probably I wasn't blue enough.

I've added China Glaze Crackle Crushed Candy. CG Crushed Candy was initially all dried up in the bottle because the cap was not screwed tight.

I've added in OPI Nail Lacquer Thinner (alot of it actually) to try if I can get it back to normal. I succeeded but I had to use a cotton bud to stir some of the polishes that were stuck on the walls of the bottle and shake as hard as I can until I hear the metal balls knocking on the bottle.

Here it is without top coat.



And here, with top coat.

Etude BL501 & Orly Prisma Gloss Gold

I've finally found a true blue polish! I got this at 50% off at Etude House for only RM2.95. What a bargain!

Anyway, it was already opaque on the 1st coat. However, I applied a 2nd coat regardless. The consistency was great and no streaking. The bottle was tiny though. I didn't see any information about the weight on the label. I guess it is about half of a normal polish bottle.

First picture - it's without top coat as I didn't really like the colour on my nails. It looks blah.

Then I added Orly Prisma Gloss Gold for some oomph. It looks so much better. I can see stars on my nails now!

Elianto Glittery Nickel

I had nothing better to do but yet again bought another bottle of Elianto Nail Lacquer. This time it's the premium one that costs RM10 each. I chose Glittery Nickel.

It's more like a greyed purple but in the picture it looked more blue - maybe because it has more blue pigments in it. This is a holo micro glitter lacquer. It wasn't shiny at all without any top coat. I thought the effect would be much like OPI My Private Jet but to my disappointment, nope!

Sorry for the messy application. First picture was taken under warm lighting and second one was taken under flourescent light.

OPI Glitzerland & China Glaze Crackle Fault Line

COPI Glitzerland is from the OPI Swiss Collection. It's gold with lots of micro glitter.

Application was not a problem - but then again this colour is gold - it's hard to tell if it's streaky or not. Drying time was good and if you can see from the picture, it's perfect!

This is 2 coats.

As usual, I felt bored with the colour the next day. I added a layer of China Glaze Crackle Fault Line.

The ribbon is to hide the ugly cuticle.
