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?

Floating on Floam

Hi lacqueraders,

Do you ever get tired of a colour? I do. Red is my nemesis. Except for Barielle's Elle Spell which I sported here, there has never been a red I could stand for more than two days. And even that is a feat. I usually want to take it off as soon as I put it on *shrugs*.
I love the blue-green combination. Therefore, it was a surprise for me when I could not figure out what the hype about Floam was all about. I got Sticks and Stones from Ninja Polish and added Floam to the basket just to see why bloggers were going so gaga about it. Well, now I know... and how. Be ready to be picture-bombed!

Isn't this a beauty?! This polish was first frankened by Amy from the blog I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous. But Ninja Polish started producing it later with her permission.

 It has matte green and neon blue glitter with a smattering of yellow, too, in a clear base. The polish is thick, but it dries fast and hard. This one did not chip even after I sported it for over eight days! Do wait in between coats to avoid bald spots.

Since this polish has been around for some time now, I learnt that it was very hard to get off. So I layered it over my blue peel-off polish. This polish can be used as a layer polish with one coat or lend full coverage with three coats.

The finish is slightly gritty. The matte glitters do not shine. But I loved the way it looked and did not topcoat it. Also, like with all glitters, this one cannot be wrapped around the nails either. But that should not be a problem with this beauty's amazing staying power!

This is such a striking polish, everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone, will take notice. It has a very tropical feel. The photos do not do justice to its neon-iness. It will definitely grab eyeballs and compliments!
