2 in 1 Alix Avien #160

Already the second post about the purchases I made in Turkey. The first haul was the brand Flormar and this time it is Alix Avien! I already swatched one in my previous post, which was a beautiful navy blue crackle polish.

Alix Avien #160 is a combination of red and golden shimmer. While I was swatching it, I noticed that 1 coat of #160 creates a more pink colour with golden shimmer. #160 is opaque already with the second coat and it was very easy to work with. It may not have the OPI brush, but this works fine for me.

Two different colours in one bottle, isn't that fascinating? The pictures show the pink version of #160 (1 coat) on my index and middle finger. The red version (2 coats) is swatched on my ring finger and pinkie.

 

Still one haul left...

Have a great one!!!

Alix Avien Blue Crackle

My first Turkish brand nail polish, which I hunted down during my short stay there: Alix Avien!

I did some research before I went on vacation and it was not all about the sightseeing stuff...also a little about what polishes were sold in Turkey. Luckily, I found several drugstores where they sell nail polishes of different Turkish brands.

Alix Avien Nail Deco comes in 4 colours: white, black, blue and pink. This navy blue one got my attention, since I already have a black crackle polish of Barry M. During that time, China Glaze had already announched their Crackle Glaze collection, otherwise, I would have bought Alix Avien crackle polish in white and pink too.

As base colour, I used Pa Nail Color A30, which is a nice champagne goldish polish. Two coats of A30 and one layer of Alix Avien blue crackle polish. The picture was taken on the second day of wear, but I think it still looks okay. It didn't chip that much even without topcoat and survived one day at work.

More 'travel hauls' will follow...

Have a great one!
