HELLO POLISH LOVERS! Sorry for the lack of posts. It's the same ol' same ol' reason: work, work and more work that's been taking up my time. In fact, I was working the whole of yesterday (Saturday) up till 5am this morning so that I could have some time off to chill and paint my nails.
I have three very pretty polished to show you today! The first of which, is Pretty Jelly Hera.
Hera is from the Pretty Jelly Goddess Collection, a multichrome holo line which features five beauties that were inspired by the Greek Goddesses.
According to Pretty Jelly, Hera is a purple-indigo multichrome holo that shifts from cool icy blue-purple to a rich red-purple. Let's put her to the test shall we? For my swatches, I've painted three coats of Hera on my index, ring and pinkie, and two coats of Hear over a black base on my middle finger.
Cool, icy blue-purple, check!
Here, Hera is shifting to a warmer purple.
Red, rich purple, check!
Now, let's not forget that Hera is also holographic.
Final thoughts: I must admit, Hera doesn't really come close to the Ozotic holo multuchromes but it's nice to see some other alternatives out in the market. Hera was a dream to apply and built up nicely. You don't have to wear it over a black base, which is nice. The black base does bring out the colour shift a bit more but it's really optional. The Ozotics on the other hand, no way I'll wear them without a black base.
Now for Pretty Serious Phantom Planet.
Pretty Serious Cosmetics says it's a green foil multichrome that shifts through aqua and blue. I know it's totally not polish-related but when I first saw Pantom Planet, California (The O.C. theme song) was totally playing in my head!
Even in this first picture, where it's the most green, you can already see hints of blue.
This picture above makes me think of a mermaid's tale. What a beauty!
And now the aqua shift. Phantom Planet really is a pretty pretty polish. I thought it would be more "alien green" so the bluer side was a nice surprise.
Final thoughts: Phantom Planet has a pretty thin formula but it was surprisingly pigmented. I was wearing three thin coats on my index, ring and pinkie, and two thin coats over a black base on my middle finger. I didn't think Phantom Planet would build up so easily but it did! That being said, because of the thinner consistency, be careful not to get too much polish on your brush or else you'll flood your cuticles.
Lumina Lacquer Seastar is the last polish I have for you tonight.
Seastar is such a sweet, pastel glitter polish. It mades me think of lullabies so I chose a soft base colour to compliment the pretty, soft glitters.
This is one coat of Seastar over Chna Glaze Light As Air. The holo stars were easy to get on my nails, though I had to dab the other glitters on just so every thing would be evenly spread out. It was no trouble at all so really, it wasn't a big deal. The stars made me think of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!
Final thoughts: This is a pretty pretty polish that mades me feel like a little girl! It's sweet and really cute! Formula was manageable and you can wear it over a multitude of base colours so the sky's the limit!
Hope you guys liked these three babies as much as I do. I'm really happy with them. I'm really hoping to have more free time so I can go back to swatch, swatch, swatching! I have so many new shades that I can't wait to show y'all. See you guys soon!
