Unexpected Change in the Galaxy

I had so much fun swatching this purple mani because of the newest Essence ‘Colour and Change’ nail polish. These polishes change colour when you layer a clear topcoat over it.

I started with a light pinkish purple base colour of Hello Kitty HK11-10 Lola Lilas. The bottle is super cute and so is the colour. It’s opaque with 2 coats. The Essence ‘Colour and Change’ nail polishes are one-coaters, so they are perfect for stamping.

The one I used here is no. 04 Unexpected Galaxy which is a dark purple base with silver shimmer. The original colour is silver with a purple undertone. When you layer a clear topcoat over it, the colour will change into dark purple. The design is from image plate BM208 and the topcoat used to change the colour is Seche Vite topcoat.

Isn't great to get two different colours by using just one stamping colour?

Have a nice weekend!

Hello Kitty Turqouise

When I saw pictures of the Sephora x Hello Kitty Collaboration Collection, I went totally wild! The nail polish bottles were in the shape of Hello Kitty's head. But unfortunately, I couldn't order at Sephora online since I am not an US resident. So that was the end of the story...

The closest I can get to a Hello Kitty nail polish is the one released by H&M: Turqouise. Yes, you've read it right...turqouise... Although the bottle didn't blow me away, the colour surely made me (^0^) wow-ed for a long time.

The price was more than reasonabe for 16ml. The formula was easy to work with and that also counts for the brush. I applied 2 coats of Turqouise and 1 layer of topcoat to seal the glitters. I have that jar of brown glitter longer than half a year already, but haven't tried it out, because I was too lazy... It was actually quite easy to work with. But I do need more practice, because I only managed to glitter one hand -_-"





Have a wonderful one!!!
