2st day of the "Another day, another polish" challenge for February 2016

Good morning everyone! :)

Here I am with the second day of the challenge. Within the challenge I have a mini one, which is to catch up with the delay, and have the third up by the evening... (no pressure then...)

But no rush ahead, I have a beautiful polish to share with you!

Soul Fire from Shades of Phoenix

Can we just start with the label and admire the stunning Phoenix? I think this is one of the most beautiful labels I came across during my journey in the indie world!
The polish is a tangerine orange shade with a hint of coral. It has black matte micro glitter (love it!), silver holographic micro glitter and also silver holographic square glitters as well. This last one caught my eye, as it is quiet unique, I don't find it very often in any polish.

Unfortunately those square glitters seemed to have more fun looking trough the glass to the big world instead of transferring to my nails, even if I had the bottle shaken like crazy before application.

The first coat was kind of sheer, although it gave an even coverage. It was very easy to apply. This polish is on a thin side, but it didn't wanted to run or flood my cuticles:

I still could see my nail line, so I went for a second coat:

The second coat went on very easily as well, giving full coverage. I was a little bit disappointed, that the larger square glitters didn't made it to my nails, but this is a beautiful polish anyway! :)

It dried a little bit gritty, so to even everything out I applied a layer of topcoat:

I'm still working on the setting and the lighting, but here are some macro shots:

I think, that at the moment this polish doesn't shines in all it's glory on my hand, but that might be because my skin tone is quiet pale at the moment. I will definitely give it another go during the Summer!

I hope you enjoyed this review, and thank you for stopping by! Xxx

1st day of the "Another day, another polish" challenge for February 2016

Hi guys, and thank you for joining me on this journey!

As some of you might know, I'm doing a challenge for the whole month of Feburary, where I try to paint my nails every day with a different polish. Mainly because I don't change my colours often enough, but also to give my untried pile a chance to shrink.

I saw so many people doing these kind of challenges in the past, and I did liked them all! However, there was one, which stood out from the others, and that was from The Nailasaurus. She did a 31 day challenge, which was amazing! I checked it out every day, and was wondering, it must be hard to have the commitment, once you decide to do it.

I was right, I'm only on the first day, but I do struggle to keep up with the time... :)

I haven't had a problem to choose the first colour, as I thought, I will have a kick start with this stunner.

Here is the multiple award winning amazing indie of 2015:

Berry Good Looking from Cupcake Polish

Whoever knows this polish will agree with me, that it is kind of hard to describe. It is definitely a purple polish with a pink shimmer running trough it, but it also has this very strong neon violet and hot pink holographic rainbow.
Stunning, mesmerizing, eye catching, mind blowing polish!

The first coat went on very easily. This polish is a little bit thin, but it's insanely pigmented, and it's very easy to work with. It did dried to a semi-matte finish, so a topcoat will be needed.
It does dry rather fast, so to avoid stripes, and pulls I had to work quickly.

The second coat was just like a hint of velvet, deepened the color quiet a bit, and also smoothed any imperfections:

Unfortunately my camera doesn't likes purple (I tried my normal bulb, also tried a daylight reflector, didn't help...), and doesn't gives the gorgeousness of this polish back...

Here is the picture with the daylight bulb:

Actually, there must be a problem with my view finder, as the pictures are quiet close to the real colour...

To smooth everything out, and give the stunning colour a layer to shine trough, I added a topcoat:

I couldn't resist when the Sun came out, and tried to capture the insane colours in this polish:

I have to say, this polish brings me out of my comfort zone slightly, although I like bright colours, purples and pinks are not really my cup of tea.

But this time I fall head over hills into this polish!

When it first came out, it was sold out within a few minutes. I didn't understood why is everybody raving about it so much? After about a month it kept coming back to me, so I gave in and bought it.

I don't mind at all! It was the best decision I could make!

Will definitely stay in my collection, and I won't be afraid to use this pretty at any time! :)

Neutrino by Starrily

Good Morning guys, here with the next review of my recent purchase from LiveLovePolish.

Neutrino by Starrily

This is a black jelly polish jam packed with silver holographic micro glitter. It is really pretty!

At the first look at the bottle I thought, yeah, another black sparkling polish, questioning what is all the rave about this?
Then I tried it.
The first coat was nearly opaque! At this moment, I thought, ok, now I get it...

I'm sure doing a little bit thicker coat would give the full coverage. What you can see above is one coat, not too thick, not too thin. At the cuticles it was a bit sheer, but I decided, it's opaque enough for me.

As it dried, it dried a bit textured, and lost a bit of the high gloss. Yeah, great, maybe it's not that gorgeous after all...

But then I applied a top coat. Ladies and gentleman, this polish came alive, like out of nowhere!
The micro glitters cached every tiny light giving a full spectrum of rainbow sparkle back with any move!

On this picture the glitters are a little bit hidden, but trust me, they will shine trough!

Another polish with a little bit of extra! Love, love, love it!

What you can see here is only one coat of Neutrino with one coat of topcoat. I do regret it now, that I haven't done a second coat, I'm sure the not completely opaque jelly layer would have given the glitter an extra umph and depth!

All in all, this is a stunning polish, very easy to apply, and eye catchingly gorgeous!!!
