Ludurana - Magnifica

Hello lovelies!
I'm wearing another Ludurana holographic scored on Ninja Polish. This one is Magnifica and is a blue gem! I went with three coats with top coat, but it is easily opaque in two coats. I don't have a lot to say, just look at the pics lol!

Ludurana - Superior

Morning lovelies :)
The sun is finally back after weeks of rain and the holos in my untrieds were begging for some attention. Today I have for you Superior, a chartreuse holographic polish part of the Ludurana Aurora Boreal collection. If you remember, I posted about the multichrome collection few weeks ago. I bought Superior on Ninja Polish. I love it, it's like liquid gold and looks so precious. I love the yellow linear holo particles in it. It applied like a dream and smells so good! I can't get enough of Ludurana polishes. I went with three coats, topped with Seche vite and it didn't dull the effect. Enjoy!

Max Color - Neon

Good afternoon :)
Another duochrome on the menu! Neon by Max Color flashes from pink to violet, with a very small hint of blue. I received it in a recent swap from Brazil. I have never heard about it before and Google wasn't helping, so there is not a lot of information I could provide you on the brand :( I used two coats layered over Wet N Wild Black. All swatches are without top coat.

Let's smile today!

It's Sunday peeps!
Sending you a lot of love and positive vibes, especially to those going through hard times! I don't know why, but I woke up very thankful. Thankful for the life that I have, for waking up in good health everyday, for having a loving and supporting family. We take many things for granted and the nail polish world can be cutthroat at times. I have a mani that reflects my mood today, but that also says that there's hope that everything will be okay. I hope you like it!
I used three coats of Cacee BFF Summer. I like it because it's not the kind of in-your-face neon yellow. I did the eyes with a dotting tool and the smiles with a black nail art stripper :)

Hey!
I'm testing my nail art skills. I'm getting better but I'm no expert. I love fast, cute and easy nail art. Not too much bla bla today, just pictures :)

Hits Pega-pega

Hello Lovelies!

There is nothing better than raising awareness on important causes by doing something that you love. Hits Speciallita collaborated with GRAACC, a support group for children and adolescents with cancer, and launched Sou Fã de Criança a collection of five shimmery shades. This collection is a social campaign in itself and aims to fight against childhood cancer and promote the importance of early diagnosis. The five colors were inspired by the GRAACC logo and popular children's games. Of course, the profit made from the sale of this collection will go to the cause. I was very happy that my friend Claudia were able to get me Pega-pega, which is a fiery purple with pink shimmer. It is very sheer, even after three coats, so I layered one thick coat over Orly Royal Velvet and love the result!

All swatches are without top coat.

Orly - Royal Velvet

You know sometimes you see a color and you don't know if you like it so you leave it and forget about it. That happened to me with this particular polish. I see it every time I go to the nail supply store and every time I put the bottle in my basket to remove it at the register (yes basket and carts, just to tell you how big and amazing that store is) I'm moving out soon and decided that I didn't want to regret not having Royal Velvet, so I got it. Now I feel stupid that I have waited that long. It's a beautiful purple to midnight blue duochrome. It applied easily in two coats and didn't need top coat. On to the pics!

K's Special Fridays #11 - Moon Dust pigments

Hello lovelies!
I have another cool pigment collection from TKB Trading that is so great for frankening multichromes! The Moon Dust collection is comprised of five color shifting pigments. It is also made with smaller particle sizes than the Star Bites that I reviewed last week, so it has a smoother finish. I mixed half Wet N Wild Clear + Luster base + 4 straw scoops of each pigment to create those beautiful top coats. All swatches show two coats of each polish layered over Wet N Wild Black, without top coat. The following color shifting descriptions were taken from TKB's website. Let's see!

Magnetics comparison

Hey everyone :)
Another comparison post, this time I wanted to try the magnetic polishes that I have. I bought a lot of them a long time ago and wore them separately. It's just practical for me to have them all under one post for future reference lol (truth is I was lazy to swatch them by themselves). The directions are often the same with magnetic polishes: apply one coat and let it dry, then apply a second coat and immediately place the magnet near the wet polish without touching it. I followed the same directions for every nail and held the magnet for 10 seconds. All swatches are without top coat.

Lynnderella - Mlle Violette de Bleu

I just love the name of this polish by Lynnderella. French being my maternal language, it revives a lot of memories in me, a song in particular "Mademoiselle chante le blues". It's a lavender, blue, and holographic gem, only for glitter aficionados! I had a beautiful aquamarine blue in my untried stash and thought it would be the perfect undie for MVDB. I was surprised to find out that the polish has a smoky base, so it will darken the base you have two shades down. It's not a bad thing, I just thought the base was clear. I dabbed one coat of Mlle Violette de Bleu over Mohda Bermuda, and topped it with one coat of Gelous. Love the oceanic look!
