My Summer Stars: Emily de Molly Fifth Element

Fifth Element was one of my most coveted polishes from Emily de Molly and I had to return a couple of times to Llarowe's restocks to be able to snatch one!!




I applied three coats of Emily de Molly Fifth Element over Essence XXL Nail Thickener. While the base is sheer it is very buildable and the glitter spreads nicely and evenly - well except for that little group on my index - they sort of wanted to stay together ;-). 

And some more about the formula: I experienced in other glitters not only clusters of glitter but those clusters usually go along with pooling of polish - no such issues with Fifth Element. The polish sort of glided around the glitters and provided the nice opacity you see in the pictures above!! This is what sets glitters apart and what keeps me from wearing many glitters on its own but rather layered over a base color.

Final thoughts: I love the combination of this blue and red thrown together. The holo glitter is the icing on the cake - it lights up here and there while you move your hands.

I ordered Emily de Molly Fifth Element with Llarowe.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

  6. What a great trio, red & holo glitters in a robin's egg base ♥ This brand is looking increasingly cool to me. Being on the glitter bandwagon is proving a little dangerous, lol. Stop tempting me with such beauties, sis ;)
