The formula is thin but just so easy to apply, no streakiness or bald spots (Essie Lapis of Luxury and China Glaze Secret Peri-win-kle - you hear me?). I applied two thin coats over Essence XXL Nail Thickener and it dried to exactly this opaque and shiny finish!! Dry time was fast. Awesome - you agree?
Since this weeks' posts are about blue polish with a little extra, I applied one layer of Sea Lore Aquata over Colorama Africa Vista Horizonte Azul.
Sea Lore Aquata is a very sheer periwinkle blue base with glass flecks and small turqoise glitter particles (??? I hope I finally managed all those different kinds like flecks, flakies, etc. - if not - please apologize and bear with me ;-)). Side note: isn't the bottle adorable??? The formula is rather thin (thankfully) which facilitates an even application. I deliberately skipped the top coat to underline the effect of the flecks and the glitter. The surface of the nail was not gritty or bumpy.
I received Colorama Africa Vista Horizonte Azul from my wonderful friend in Brazil. I ordered Sea Lore Aquata with Llarowe .
What is your favorite periwinkle blue (given that you are into blues)? In case you are into Indie polishes - have you tried Sea Lore?
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

ReplyDeleteYour manicure is gorgeous, I like the final version with the layering!
My favourite periwinkle blue is China Glaze Secret Peri-win-kle. I also own a very pretty unnamed suede periwinkle shade from a brand named "Mode" that I got for 2 CHF but It's really good!
Hi Nati, all I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I am awed by your request <3. I gladly will join :-) I also own the China Glaze and despite my issues I usually messy application, it remains an outstanding shade and I love to use it!!!! I have to check-out your Blog if you posted the Mode polish - and CHF 2??? A true bargain!!!!!!!
