OPI - Number One Nemesis with Paisley Design

One of the prettiest designs from Bundle Monster's new stamping plate set must be the paisley design from plate BM-315. I love it! At first I stamped this design with China Glaze - 2030 over three coats of Number One Nemesis from OPI (see picture below). I'm not crazy about the result, at most angles the paisley pattern wasn't very noticeable because of the sparkly base colour. So today I removed it and applied Number One Nemesis again with Essie - School of Hard Rocks on some accent nails. This time I used the paisley pattern only on the accent nails. Aah, much better! 

Thanks for watching! :h

Comparison: Dark Prismatic Shades

I was curious how Speciallità - Zeus would look like next to other dark(er) prismatic polishes I own. So I made a little comparison with Catherine Arley #805 (pinkie nail - two coats), Chainmail Charm from Diamond Cosmetics (middle finger nail - two coats) and three coats of Zeus on the other nails. #805 from Catherine Arley is a true black, it's more pigmented and darker than Zeus. Another difference is the scattered prismatic effect of #805; it looks really different next to the other two. As you can see Chainmail Charm has a somewhat brownish base compared to Zeus' more charcoal base colour. I think Chainmail Charm has a beautiful prismatic effect, but it looks kinda dull next to the intense rainbows Zeus shows. My advice? If you can get your hands on Zeus, well.. get it! ^_^

Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend!

Speciallità - Zeus

When Daniela from the Brazillian nail polish brand Speciallità asked me if I wanted to review the Hits No Olimpo collection, my answer was yes. YES. A collection with thirteen prismatic shades, how could I say no to that? The Hits No Olimpo polishes are all named after Olympian gods and goddesses. Today I'm showing you Zeus, a charcoal polish with fine prismatic particles. It also has a subtle gold flashing shimmer. The prismatic effect is really intense, I couldn't believe my eyes! This is so freakin' awesome. *drools* The fomula was nice, I used three thin coats, no top coat. 

The Hits No Olimpo polishes cost around $4 (for 6 ml) at Speciallità. The site's written in Portuguese, but  exploring it isn't so hard due to easy navigation. Please note that these polishes aren't Big 3 Free, they contain toluene and formaldehyde. 

*The product(s) in this post was/were sent to me for reviewing purposes.

Catherine Arley #805

Yesterday I showed you my Catherine Arley polishes that came in. I'm starting off by showing you the polish I was most curious about, Catherine Arley #805. This is a charcoal, almost black polish with prismatic/holographic glitter in it. Was it just me, hoping for a polish that could kill the lemming for the prismatic (and in my opinion best) version of My Private Jet from OPI? Well, #805 failed at that point.. Indoors this one looks like a dark polish with silvery mini glitter (2nd picture). Although the rainbow glitter isn't as visible as I hoped for, I think it's a beautiful polish. I love darks on my nails! I was lucky enough to catch one sunbeam (seriously) which resulted in the top picture. As you can see the coloured glitter is definitely there in all his subtleness. :O Looks promising for the more sunny days to come right? The application was perfection. So smooth and pigmented, this is two coats without topcoat.

Another thing: I noticed something strange. As soon as I upload my pictures in Blogger they seem to dull a bit, which I find quite annoying, as the pictures are very important to me! Anyone experienced the same? Edit: Deniz gave an awesome tip and now it's all how I want it to be! Thanks lady!
