Yesterday I started my Jade-athon to share with you the awesome nail mail I received from my dearest friend Priscilla. What I have in store for you today is one of my absolute favorites from the nail mail (sis, you knew, didn't you?) - it is another polish from the Matte Illusion series. Safire Dream is a bright pool blue jelly filled with turquoise micro glitter - let's take a dive into it:
indoors in the shade the turquoise glitter are in the limelight and while it looks as if the polish would be textured I assure you, the surface of my nails was smooth as silk
I applied two coats of Jade Diamond Matte Illusion Safire Dream over my regular Base Coat. I will get quite repetitive in the course of this week, because each and every polish comes with a perfect formula. So - it is not too thick or thin, spreads nicely and even on the nail. Safire Dream is not overly pigmented - in fact it is the least pigmented of the Matte Illusion polishes I got, but while I already saw myself calling in for round 3 of applying a layer of polish, the second coat provided beautiful opacity without diminishing the "looking through clear water effect". The above pictures are taken without Top Coat.

Indoors in daylight - I mattified my ring finger with Mentality Polish Matte Top Coat:
Final thoughts: Ahhh are you as refreshed as I am after ogling this aquatastic blue? Safire Dream is just one perfect summer polish - looooove….. le sigh…..
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for stopping by!!!

I think I'm in love with these Diamond Mattes! This one is a consummately perfect summer polish and the matte... I need this in my life, lol. So yes, I'm totally refreshed and checking every stocklist I can think of ♥ :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Liesl - I just knew those are like made for you ;-)! Unfortunately the only stockist I know is Llarowe but I don't think they carry this line (yet)!
DeleteColor4Nails does, as well, but these are no where to be seen. Well, I can be patient ;)
DeleteYou are right - according to my knowledge it always takes quite some time for the Jades to hit the retailers.... :-S
DeleteOh wow!!!! This is such a lovely shade. I think I'm in love lol ;-)
