#TGPNPC Two Cremes: Day 29 of The Neverending Pile Challenge

Pin It
Hi,
For the two cremes prompt, I fell back on my most bought brand: Colorbar. Check out my stash here.

This is Royal Velvet from their Pro range. It is a dusty blurple creme. The brushes in this range are thick. The formula is rich and leaves no streaks. Most of them are one- or two-coaters. A boon for nail art lovers.

 I paired it with Famous Plum from the Quick Finish Range. This is a lavender creme. This is two coats. The formula was problem-free and dried fast as claimed.

I dotted it with A-England Lady of the Lake (purple holo) and Tristam (blue holo) which kind of got lost in the colours :(

#TGPNPC Prettiest: Day 27 of The Neverending Pile Challenge

Pin It
Hi,

Today I bring to you one of the prettiest polishes I own. And yes, it is green-blue and gorgeous!
Another Galaxy by Glam Polish

This is Another Galaxy by Glam Polish, multiple sizes of metallic sapphire and matte turquoise hex with matte turquoise stars and large turquoise holo dots in a mint crelly base.

These are three coats each. The glitters, even the large ones, came out easily. Though I did place them strategically as my nails are pretty curved and the large glitters stick out. I 'glassed' this manicure with a thick coat of Seche Vite.

Here's a macro shot so you can see the glitters more clearly. Excuse the bubbles. The humidity in my city has messed up my SV. I fell head over heels for this polish. Did you like it? Don't forget to leave a comment.

#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 :( 

Warm: Polish Me Silly Grape Intentions color-changing thermal
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.
Cold: Polish Me Silly Grape Intentions color-changing thermal
 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.
