Star Gazer 305 - Duochrome goodness!


I'm bored... and annoyed by the new collections coming up in the US, there is nothing new, always the same colors/finishes remixed and recycled. Or maybe it's just me... I wish some of them take example on Layla and Hits and come up with new concepts. Well, to make up for my lack of interest in what we have here, I have been swapping a lot in order to discover international brands. You already know my love for Brazilian and European polishes. Today, I have a pretty received from my UK friend Aimee at Persistently Glittery and it's a duochrome! Star Gazer 305 is a blue to purple glassfleck duochrome. It has a very rich pigmentation and is opaque in two coats. Can I say WOW!!
All swatches show 2 coats of 305 without top coat

IsaDora - Silver Sky


Morning Lovelies,
I'm discovering some new brands, thanks to my Swedish friend Tracy who sent me a couple of local pretties. IsaDora is one of these brands and Silver Sky is the polish I'm showing you today. I love the bottle design and even more the polish in it! It is a dusty denim blue with tiny silver glassflecks. It has a great consistency and applies perfectly in two coats.
All swatches are without top coat.

K's Special Fridays #8 - Star Bites


Good afternoon lovelies!
Today's frankens were made out of raw materials that I bought on TKB Trading, the go to place for any indie polish maker. I was interested in the Star Bites collection after seeing it on More Nail Polish blog. I caved in and ordered a sample of Shanika Sun, Marinda Star, and Cherika Moon in order to make some cool color morphing top coats. According to TKB, the Star Bites are "extra bright, small glittery iridescent color additives which appear as a white, semi-irridescent powder until rubbed on the skin, or set against a dark color."
I love them! They have a multichrome glassfleck finish and the color shift is so strong.
The following recipe is for a 15 ml bottle: Luster base (you can get it from TKB) + 8 straw scoops of each pigment. I made them super pigmented so you might want to use less. All swatches show two coats of each polish over Sation Black, without top coat.

OPI It's My Year and sparked accent nail!


Hello!
Today's polish is a gorgeous OPI duochrome. It's My Year has gold and pink glassflecks and is so sparkly. I love it. It is very feminine and work appropriate (in my opinion). I did a accent nail for fun with Wet N Wild Sparked, a transparent base with small round pink glitter. Be prepared to see a lot of accent nails and nail art because I have to go trough my untrieds lol. I hope you like it :)
All swatches show two coats of It's My Year and one coat of Seche vite.
