Project Polish

 Hello,

I believe this is my first project polish for this year... and none of the polishes that you will see here were completely finished. That happens with old products, they just go bad...

First is Catrice Luxury Lacquers in the shade Thunder from Down Under. A beautiful black with silver sparkle, I thought it would have a rough finish but surprisingly it dried pretty smooth. This one didn't want to dry completely anymore so I'm throwing it out but I have two other similar shades in my collection so I won't be too sad.

Next is lovely Essence and their Millennial Pink shade. Pretty and opaque pastel shade which surprisingly applied nicely but after finishing a little more than half the bottle it became a bit too goopey and it is now hard to use. Again I found something else in my collection that looks similar but after that other bottle is gone I'm getting this one again. 

The last two are from Picture Polish brand. I won a giveaway years ago and I was able to pick three shades (the third one was picked by my sister and she has it), I picked up these two. Berry Nice and  Denim were the two shades that caught my eye. Berry Nice dries semi matte, I find the finish to be fun and slightly different from the rest of my purples but I can recreate it with a matte top coat. Denim is more unique I my stash and so far I haven't found a close enough shade. I have something that is more periwinkle and the particles are more of a shimmer than flakes... but so far it will do. 

I'm actively trying to use up what I have because clearly nail polishes that I have are old and going bad, the formulas just aren't as smooth as they used to be and aren't as fun to use. This year I have only buy two nail polishes and four are out the door. In the next few days I will go through some more polishes and I might declutter some more...

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Hello,

I got bored of the matte surface on my nails so I decided that it is time to upgrade it with some sparkles.

Picture Polish Berry Nice & Essence Mauvellous Fairy

The base is still Picture Polish Berry Nice and on top I added a layer of Essence Mauvellous Fairy. It was part of a limited edition this year called Hidden Stories. First I used it on it's own but it was to sheer and I didn't liked it. Now, ten months later I decided to give him another chance, this time I layered it and the result took my breath away.

Actually it looks even better in person (if you like sparkling nails). The sparkles shifts from gold to pink and all the way to the purple. This top coat adds extra touch and every time I catch a shimmer of my nails it makes me smile. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Hello,

my nails looked a bit dated with the previous polish so yesterday I decided to switch them up. I choose the color I haven't worn for months (it happens when you have way too many bottles). It is special to me because I was lucky enough to win it in a giveaway a couple of years ago.

Picture Polish Berry Nice

This is Picture Polish Berry Nice. I won that giveaway and for the prize I could choose any three shades from their website. I picked this one up because I had nothing similar in my stash and I'm really glad that I did.

This is how it looks on the nails, it dries matte which I figure it out while I was painting it on. I believe this was the first one in my collection with this particular finish and I got to experiment with it. It is very pigmented and one layer could be enough but the second one makes it look better. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
