Hi nailistas! Another wednesday, another challenge...yipee!! I'm so thankful for all the lovely comments you guys leave me, you make me so happy...seriously thank you so much! I'm also feeling extra lucky this week because yesterday Lariesa from Me, Myself and Polish notified me I had won the first prize of her 100th GFC giveaway!!! I can't believe it! Like I told her, I had never won anything before! I'm so super excited to get some more of those incredible indie polishes! Thank you so, so much Lariesa! :D
Okay, so I think many of us will pick glitter today because glitter polishes are awesome in so many ways :) . I chose a polish called Glitter Girl by the independent brand Lush Lacquer.
This is the first time I ordered something from Karin & Lexi's shop at Etsy, and everything went on perfectly! It took it twenty days to be on my doorstep :) five days to ship and fifteen days to get here...you might think that's a lot but for international shipments I think its average. It's also my first time buying independent brand polishes!
If you go to their store I'm pretty sure you'll fall in love with more than one of their awesome creations.
Glitter Girl has a combination of purple, pink, black, white and silver holographic glitters in different shapes and sizes on a clear base. Pink and purple are my favorite colors so picking this one was a no brainer.
On the first pics you'll see Glitter Girl layered over Love Affair by Kleancolor. This was the color I was looking for when I bought Revlon's Bold Sangria! I liked the combination, but the black glitters in Glitter Girl get a bit lost in all the darkness. I'm wearing two coats of each polish.
As you can see on the pic below, the large glitters lay pretty flat and there's absolutely no curling or fishing for them....Nice! This pic is before the topcoat:
This is a shot of the bottle of gorgeous Glitter Girl:
Since I am very much in love with this polish here's another look! Yes! Two looks in one post yay!
I was curious of how Glitter Girl would look over a lighter base color, so I applied two coats of Rosa Pastel (which means Pastel Pink) by Bissú, a mexican brand, and then only one coat of Glitter Girl applied diagonally. I also placed a few large glitters using a dotting tool.
What do you think? Which look do you like the most? I hope you liked this! Thanks for reading :D
ESPAÑOL:
Hola chicas!!! Estoy muy emocionada de por primera vez presentarles un esmalte de marca independiente! Se trata de Glitter Girl de Lush Lacquer.
Lush Lacquer es el nombre de la marca de Karin y Lexi que se vende en Etsy. Tenía mucho que había visto esta marca en varios blogs pero la verdad tenía un poco de miedo de pedirlos hasta México...pero pues me animé. Los ordené, cinco días después los enviaron y quince días más tarde llegaron hasta mi casa. En total veinte días. No sé pero siento que estuvo bien, creo que más o menos eso tardan los envíos internacionales.
Este esmalte me encanto obviamente porque en su mayoría tiene rosa y morado (mis colores preferidos!) Pero también tiene blanco, negro y unos pequeñitos glitters holográficos plateados. Todos suspendidos en una base transparente.
Me encanto tanto que hice dos looks con el. En el primero apliqué dos capas de Love Affair de Kleancolor, que es el tono que buscaba cuando compré Bold Sangria de Revlon. Me gustó como se ven juntos aunque los glitters negros de Glitter Girl se pierden en la oscuridad de Love Affair.
Es por eso que quise aplicarlo sobre una base más clara como este Rosa Pastel de Bissú. Yo sé que Bissú es muy barato y eso nos puede dar la impresión de que son de baja calidad, pero últimamente he notado que esta marca no le pide nada a las demás.
Apliqué una capa de Glitter Girl en forma diagonal y coloqué manualmente algunos glitters. En general me encantó este esmalte, espero que hayan disfrutado verlo.
Ustedes díganme qué look les gustó más.
Come with me to look at more "G" inspired creations!
