Picture Polish Opulence Range #3 : Mask-a-rade

Time for the third and last post featuring the Opulence range! Today’s post is a little picture heavy.

The Australian girls from Picture Polish kindly sent me 3 polishes to review from their own brand – if you’ve kept an eye on their recent news these are no surprise to you! It’s from a new range called Opulence, featuring 3 polishes with awesome features ;) I will elaborate as I swatch each one! You can see Monroe in yesterdays post right here and Peacock right here.

As the title implies, today it’s all about Mask-a-rade, a multichrome glitter topcoat. Picture Polish describes is as a mix of several multichrome glitters and I can definitely see the resemblance from the epic Ozotic Elytra polishes. I decided that I’d let the pictures do the colour-describing talk, LOL, there’s so much going on it’d be quite a novel describing it!

As Mask-a-rade is designed to be a topcoat, I used a black one-coater as base and added 2 coats of Mask-a-rade. One coat is also pretty, but I wanted maximum sparkles to show you the chrome shifting side of this pretty polish :) The formula is perfect and the glitter is super easy to spread.

The more you tilt your hand, the more coppery Mask-a-rade gets… swoon!

I have to say that even though I love both Monroe and Peacock, Mask-a-rade is hands down my favourite. As a topcoat it is super versatile and can be used for many colours and layering combos. I decided to try it over Peacock for an ultimate glitter experience!

There’s so much going on, it’s crazy! It’s like a unicorn ate too many glitter cupcakes and threw up on my nails ;) Let’s see it when I tilt my nails a little;

What do you think of Mask-a-rade? And does it look good over Peacock? :)

That’s all for today, readers! Hope you enjoyed the three polishes from Picture Polish, I sure have :) A big thank you to Picture Polish for sending these my way!

Picture Polish Opulence Range #2 : Peacock

It’s time to show the second polish from Picture Polish’s Opulence Range!

The Australian girls from Picture Polish kindly sent me 3 polishes to review from their own brand – if you’ve kept an eye on their recent news these are no surprise to you! It’s from a new range called Opulence, featuring 3 polishes with awesome features ;) I will elaborate as I swatch each one! You can see Monroe in yesterdays post right here.

Peacock, 3 coats

Picture Polish # Peacock, 3 coats + topcoat, natural light

Today it’s Peacocks time to shine! The cheeky description on the bottle says “do you wanna see my… Peacock” LOL! I love cheeky names :) Peacock is an emerald green glitter in a purple base with silver sparkles. And believe me when I say it was really hard to photograph! I used 3 coats for opacity without making the glitter too opaque to see the purple base which is the unique part of this polish. I added topcoat as it dries a little gritty.

The formula was a little too thick for my liking but still manageable. Be sure to allow a little drying time between the coats so you prevent dragging :) Next time I’m using this I will be using a dark purple base colour, it’ll loose a little depth but make it easier for a mani on the go.

The combination of green glitter in a purple base is so much win! It tricks the eye so see shades of blue. I love glitters in jelly bases and Peacock is no exception.

One last picture in natural light, trying to capture the true base colour:

Picture Polish Opulence Range #1 : Monroe

Hi there! I have some exciting swatches to share with you over the next few days!

The Australian girls from Picture Polish kindly sent me 3 polishes to review from their own brand – if you’ve kept an eye on their recent news these are no surprise to you! It’s from a new range called Opulence, featuring 3 polishes with awesome features ;) I will elaborate as I swatch each one!

Picture Polish in Monroe, 3 coats

Picture Polish # Monroe, 3 coats, natural light

Up first is a classy vampy red holo called “Monroe”, named after the Hollywood icon of course. I really wanted to swatch this as soon as possible as the range will be released on April 1st, sadly there was no sun in Denmark so these pictures will have to do until better weather.

I used three coats for the swatches, no top or base-coat. It’s still ever so slightly see-through on my long nails in direct light, but if you have shorter nails 2-3 coats will do. Next time I will layer it over a vampy red to save some of those precious drops ;) I like the formula, very juicy! You do have to wait until the coats is semi dry before adding another to prevent dragging.

While the polish isn’t super saturated with holo particles, they are linear and very visible on the nail. Great thing about scattered holos are that the colour is super crispy even in dull light. :)

With flash:

One last picture, trying to catch those particles in the dull light;

One thing is certain: I can’t wait to try this when the sun shines again! I am all over vampy and wine reds at the moment and Monroe is beautiful!

What do you think about Monroe? Are you excited to see the other two shades? :)

Kiko # 299

Just a quick post today, I want to show you a gorgeous Kiko polish I’ve been wearing recently!

Kiko # 299 swatch

Kiko # 299

This gorgeous blue is called #299 and was a gift from a friend.

I used two coats and although it was hard to wrap my tips with it, I’d say there was full coverage.

It’s a dark metallic blue with small, light flecks – hard to spot in my pictures but they were so gorgeous in the sun!

If it wasn’t for these it’d be a little less exciting of a polish, but they really lighten up on the nails. Love this polish!

 

Here’s another shot of #299, not quite as good but this baby was hard to photograph;

What do you think of this colour?

I’ve been wearing blue polish a lot lately, what’s your favourite blue polish? :)

That’s all for today!

Quickie : Funky French

Hi!

A very quick post from me today, as I wanted to share my most recent mani :) It’s by no means perfect, I really struggle making french manis. Pratice makes perfect, I hope!

Funky French

Next time I’ll be using a buffer to remove yellowness so I don’t have to use a sheer pink after making the tip *d’oh!* Or at least using the sheer pink before doing the tip. What’s your favourite colour for a funky french? :)
