Hi hons!! Letter X today! We're so close to the end!!!...okay, *sigh*...so I know this letter is hard because there are hardly any polish brands, names or nail art techniques that start with an X (the rules of the ABC challenge) but I had this one under my sleeve from the very beginning...Cirque's XX. I believe that it stands for twenty as in the roman numbers, because it supposedly contains twenty different types of glitter. Anyhow, this is a real stunner.
I had read many reviews about how great it was before buying it but I think the best description was "it looks like multi-colored crushed crystals on your nails" or something like that...of course I don't remember where I read that! but yep, that's what it looks like, it sparkles like crazy.
Hola muñecas! Ya estamos en la letra X en el reto ABC! Taaaann cerca del final!!!!...bueno, este reto es difícil porque casi no hay marcas, nombres de esmaltes o técnicas de nail art que empiezen con X pero yo desde el principio ya tenía a este esmalte bajo la manga así que nunca me angustié :P.
Se llama XX y es de la marca neoyorkina independiente Cirque. El nombre, XX creo que hace referencia a lo números romanos, al numero veinte, porque este esmalte dice contener veinte tipos diferentes de Glitter y es divino!
Leí muchas reseñas de este esmalte y no recuerdo donde fue que lo describían como "pedazos de cristales multi color molidos sobre las uñas" y viéndolo en la vida real creo que esa descripción se acerca mucho la realidad.
For this look, I did my first ombré mani! You know, the one in which you use different shades of the same color family...and I chose green. And over these lovely colors, I added one layer of XX...pure beauty!
En este look hice mi primer manicure ombré! Ya saben, esa técnica en la que se usan varios tonos de una misma familia de color, y elegí el verde. Después solo agregué una capa de XX.
Polishes used from lightest to darkest:
Los esmaltes utilizados del más claro al más oscuro:
Name/Nombre | Brand/Marca | Coats/Capas |
Absolutely Shore | Essie | 2 |
Jade | Bissú | 2 |
Misty Jade | Rimmel London | 2 |
Atomic (jelly) | LA Colors Color Craze | 4 |
Voodoo + 1 layer of Atomic | LA Colors Color Craze | 2+1 |
XX | Cirque | 1 |
Aaand this is my right hand, I went the other way around with the color order. I liked it a lot, and sorry for the picture spam, it's just that it's sooo beautiful!!
Finally, below it is mattified. It's not very evident, but OMG look at that index finger! I think I loved it the most over Atomic!
Y...esta es mi mano derecha, hice lo mismo pero el orden en que coloqué los esmaltes es al revés. Me gustó mucho y disculpen tantas fotos, es solo que es taaaan hermoso!!
Y finalmente acá abajo se los muestro matificado. Casi no se nota, pero miren el dedo índice!! Creo que mi favorito es como se ve sobre Atomic.
Don't miss these ladies' creations!
