I definitely have a crush on Nire's Desire Techno Collection Part Two - how appropriate that one of my favorites comes along with that very name! Crush is THE perfect cobalt blue holo - mind you, the holo is not overly strong (which goes for all but one of Nire's Desire Techno Collection Part Two shades), but that base color, bly me, it knocked me out of boots and socks!!!
I applied two coats of Nire's Desire Crush over my regular Base Coat. The formula on Crush is not as creamy and highly pigmented as the previously shown polishes from this collection - still, it was no less easy to apply than its pals. Me thinks this might be related to the abundant shimmer - but honestly, anything beyond holo would have distracted from the gorgeous cobalt blue base.
Final thoughts: I am in love with Nire's Desire Crush and we happily lived ever after!!!
I ordered the Nire's Desire Techno Collection Part Two with Erin's own Etsy Shop here.
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for stopping by!!!

What an intense blue! Most blue holos I know are somewhat muted, but this one ir really glowing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I agree - me thinks that the less holo pigments and the shimmer added instead might have helped in adding some omph to the base. <3
DeleteWould you believe that blue is my favorite color, but I wear it least of all my polishes? :( My insistence on matching my polish to my clothing comes up short for blue because I have almost no blue clothes. Ugh. This is the perfect cobalt. I thought it looked a lot like the Lilypad Lacquer blue one you posted about last month, but I looked that up, and it's definitely not the same! I just noticed that the ND bottles are smaller bottles...
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa - I love blue too and have plenty of clothes in all shades of blue ;-) but then I have no favorite color - my favorite would be the rainbow - haha!! Crush is a true cobalt and the Lilypad is a smidgen dustier. The bottles are smaller (I did not check but if my memory serves me right - you have to know that I am sitting in the tram riding to work as I write this) but also less expensive <3
DeleteWow, what a vibrant blue!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen :-)
DeleteJust gorgeous hon!!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Ina xxx
DeleteI really like this! I don't care how holo it is, anything is better than plain old boring creme :D
ReplyDeleteHahaha I love your comment!!! Though I have to admit that I love my creams dearly but I would never appreciate them so much if I would not have all those sparkiliscious beauties ;-)
DeleteThis blue is so lovely! I do like the subtle effect too :-)
