When this polish came out last year I thought, yes! my prayers have been heard! For some reason I never ordered it... I know... Crazy chick here... :)
Finally I bought it in March!
Actually I have to admit when I first had it in my hand, I thought I don't like it. It has a different kind of glitter in in then other PP's, it has gold, red and a blue-ish micro glitter in it. What... In a red polish... :(
As I'm slowly working trough the mountain of polishes from last month, I tried this one the other night, and was blown away. That blue glitter does not transfers to the nail, so I just couldn't stop repeat: "Wow!"
Let's see this pretty in action. This is Arabian by piCture pOlish
As I'm trying more and more of my polishes, I kind of start to know which brand I like, and these little bottles are really growing to me very fast!
Here is a bottle shot, hopefully you can see all the glitter madness in it!
I love the brush! It's not the widest, but it's not the smallest either. It's perfect width for any nail type, and it's also long! Very, very easy to work with!!
The first coat went on like a dream! It's not patchy, not streaky, self levels itself and I would say depending on the application, this could be a one coater!!! :)
It is a stunning bright red with an added extra! The second coat did not disappoint, and deepened the colour a little bit.
Originally I wanted to do a red nail with black stamping, so got my gear out, and the fun began!
The first problem I had was to choose the image I will stamp on. If you have a lot of stamping plates as I do, you know what I'm talking about! :)
The second issue I had was the cotton pads... I run out of my trusted one, and opened the back up, which was another brand and it's cheaper. When you go trough a lot of these, well you may look for cheaper alternatives. Let me tell you, don't do that! Ever! It says 100% Cotton, but feels like plastic. It's slippery, doesn't absorbs, and leaves all the lints everywhere. It's the crappiest crap I ever came across... :(
Anyway, I choose a plate and started stamping...
After the second nail I understood why people are doing test stamping before they go to the actual nail. Well, I'm lazy, and it was already 10pm, so messed up a few fingers and was growling about my stupidity.
I forgot to make a picture before cleaning, but here is the end result:
Originally I wanted to mattify this mani, but it was too late in the night...
Here is a macro of the finished mani (my inner perfectionist is screaming now as it is not flawless)
All in all I love Arabian, it's a gorgeous true red sparkling polish! I'm very happy to have it in my collection. With the stamping I'm not that happy, so might change it tonight...
I hope you liked this post, and thank you for stopping by! Xxx
