#TGPNPC Solar/Thermal: Day 25 of The Neverending Pile Challenge

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

The solar/thermal trend in nail polishes picked up in earnest last year. I got a couple of colour-changing thermals from Polish Me Silly (formerly known as Lush Lacquer).
This one is Grape Intentions, which is fuschia/magenta when warm and a gorgeous deep purple when cold. It contains a mix of hot pink and purple holo glitters in various sizes.

You can see the transition in the photograph above and below.

Full disclosure: I tried out this manicure in winter but never posted it online. There is no other way I could have shown you a thermal polish as it is so hot in my city that even the free edge of my nails maintain the warm colour, so no transition. Not even a mild one :(

The pink (when warm) in this polish looks a bit garish with my skin tone. So I stamped a flower design from XL C plate on it using Revlon Grape (Now, that's an ultimate match). And it totally balanced everything.

 I kept busy dipping my fingers in cold water to see the transition of colours like everyone else who owns a thermal (don't deny it). I wish winters would get here fast so I could try out thermals again. What do  you think of this? Do leave a comment below.

#TGPNPC Holo: Day 14 of Neverending Pile Challenge

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

I have accumulated a lot of scattered and linear holographic polishes but haven't worn many. So, here's cutting the count by 1. 

This is Jade Fascinio Violeta, a violet linear holographic polish. It has an awesome holographic curve. I painted at the beginning of the challenge when my nails were in a bad shape due to the crazy weather. So do forgive me for the frayed and injured cuticles.
Since this polish is thin and I was in no mood to layer it 4-5 times before it turned opaque, I layered it over a nameless violet creme. I bought the Jade polish from Ninjapolish.com a long time ago, but never got around to wearing it. 

 Sorry for the awkward hand positions. I was trying to show off the holo-ness of the polish.

P.S. I have been a good girl so far in keeping up with the TGPNPC challenges, but I have to leave for a 15-day trip. While I will continue doing my nail art, I am not sure if I will be able to post anything. It all depends on internet connectivity. However, I promise to come back and post the pictures as soon as possible. Or instagram them. 
Cheers!

31DC2013: Day 6 Violet

Pin It

Hi,

Day 6 theme for 31 Day Challenge is violet. I have to make a clarification here, I posted another manicure on Instagram. I used Color Club Sugarplum Fairy in the photo on IG. You'll realise why soon.

This is Chirality Polish Raisin Gein from her Cereal Killer collection. It is a milky white base full of various sizes and shades of violet and purple matte/shiny/holo glitter and microglitter. I not only committed the foolishness of trying it on its own without a solid base, I also used my OPI Rapidcoat to dry the polish. And it bubbled like crazy as you can spot on my middle finger. 

 I am definitely going to redo this polish so you can see how beautiful it is! Love the large matte glitters and the holo glitters that twinkle, oh so delicately. 
My goof apart, did you like this polish? And my take on the challenge?
