This is two coats, with topcoat.
This a lovely smooth metallic lilac polish. Application is a little tricky at first, as it's so smooth that it can show brush strokes, and any lumps look really obvious. I did two very thin coats, and the second coat certainly covered some of the imperfections from the first coat. Topcoat also helped. It's still not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it.
I love how shiny and smooth this is, and the colour is really pretty and springlike.
I haven't given in to the stamping craze yet (I keep looking at Konad sets on Amazon, and managing to resist, but oooooh, I want some!) but I'm betting that this would look really pretty with something stamped over it in black.
Oooh lovely
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could try this? I've seen it in stores 'on my side of the pond' ;-)

Nooooooo! No no no no no, I am NOT going to start stamping, I'm NOT! I'm NOT!
DeleteLOL! =)
DeleteThey'd still got lilac foil in my superdrug last week, would you like me to grab you a bottle or two? I'm sure I've got some other bits & pieces I need to send to you anyway, so it's no big problem. (Be Weds before I get to town though.)
ReplyDeleteOooh, really? That would be fab, thank you so much! One bottle is enough, it's for a merkin swap. Thank you! :D
DeleteNay probs chick. I've got to go to town anyway, and it's almost like buying polish for me, except I don't get into trouble for it that way. Apparently I have Too Much Nail Polish.
DeleteThere is NO SUCH THING as TOO MUCH POLISH!!
DeleteWOuld you like a Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure? Or shall I send you some money?
I keep telling him that, but he doesn't believe me!
DeleteA Hidden Treasure would be aces, I'll get your lilac in the post tomoz.
Cool, thanks! I'll nip to town tomorrow too.
DeleteOn its way to you... should be there by Fri-ish, depending on the vagueries of the post office
DeleteOoooh, how exciting! Yours is ready to post tomorrow too, yay! Thank you!
