Naild' It: Beginner's Magic

Naild' It Beginner's Magic is one black jelly glitter bomb! It has bar, square and hex glitters in all sorts of colors that it would be difficult for me to count. It has so much glitters that the polish is quite dense. One good thing about a glitter-dense polish is that there will be lots of glitters with just one brush stroke. The black jelly base is a little too sheer to my liking though. But I must say that it's really to achieve the right opacity of black jelly base. I am just glad that this is not too opaque such that the glitters in the previous layers are being covered up. I added 1 coat of China Glaze Liquid Leather and 2 coats of Beginner's Magic for this mani.

Sally Hansen Lustre Shine: Azure

Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Azure is one of the polishes I bought when I was on a holiday in Australia. For me, it was love at first sight with this polish. It's those polishes which you know you HAVE to get them when you set your sight on them. This blurple polish looks so rich and velvety! It makes me feel like my nails will cost a few hundred bucks when I paint it on. Haha!

Anyway, it took me 3 coats to reach opacity. I was wondering if I should have layered it over a coat of black polish instead. Hmm.. Oh well! Luckily it was able to reach opacity. :) But one thing about this polish is that it is not really self-leveling. There were some bald spots which I had to fill up before applying topcoat. But I really love this polish a lot so I shall forgo this minor flaw!

And then I added some floral stamping with ENAS Art Stamp. The stamp can really create crisp images but I definitely require more practise with stamping.

PolishTBH: Midnight

Ahh, I am finally getting back to blogging. Blogging really requires discipline and I am slightly lacking in it. :S But from now on, I will try to blog about most of my manis! :)

To kick start, I have PolishTBH Midnight here. I thought it would be a blue polish but it turns out to be a really dark blue or close to purple polish. There are sliver medium and small hex glitters, blue small glitters and a dash of holo glitters. The holo glitters are more obvious in the bottle than on my fingers though. For the mani below, I have applied 2 thick coats and did a little placement with the glitters. The polish is quite smooth to apply and it does not thicken during usage. This polish really has a lot of depth and the silver hex glitters just enhance it. And because of this polish, I think I am starting to like all polishes with silver hex glitters!
