LA Colors Color Craze Cayenne Pepper

I was a bit worried about this colour. I bought it in my last Cherry Culture haul and when I got it I kind of thought “meh”. It just seemed like a bit of a dull colour, and it looks more brown in the bottle.

I’m happy to say that I love it.

 

This is two coats which gave me full coverage. It was so easy to apply so it was pretty neat around the edges! It doesn’t wear particularly well, with tip wear the next day.

 

Of course, the next day I couldn’t leave it alone …

 

Prettttyy   This is with one coat of Kleancolor Chunky Black Holo on top. I’ve seen this polish all over the nail blogs lately an I’m sooo glad I bought it! It just adds a whole new dimension to the mani.

LA Colors Aqua Crystals with Cherimoya 2012 Cracked in Apocalypse and Typhoon

These Cherimoya 2012 Crackles are cool.

I layered it over my LA Colors Aqua Crystals mani because I didn’t want to take the Aqua Crystals off

These are oil based polishes, so they smell a little funky. But they start cracking literally the second you stop painting and dry super fast.

 

Cherimoya Apocalypse (no top coat).

 

They also dry matte, which I really like, because you can choose if you want to leave them matte or apply a top coat to get the shine.

 

Cherimoya Typhoon is awesome matte. It’s such a pretty blue. Don’t mind my funky coloured fingers. I took this under a very yellow lamp and had to tweak the colours in Photoshop to get the blue right. In the process, my hands look really weird.

 

This is Typhoon with a coat of SV. Looks so different, right? I can’t decide which I like more!

Again, excuse the freaky hands.

 

I really like these crackles. I love how quick they are and they apply really easily and neatly. They also don’t flake if you apply them over a top coat, like the BYS Cracked’s do, so it’s such a good way to liven up a tired mani.

 

Can’t wait to try Judgement Day (purple) and Eternity (blue). Why didn’t I get the dark green?!?!?!

LA Colors Aqua Crystals

Oh my.

I’m not going to say anything, I’m just going to let the photos do the talking.

 

 

Blurry shot to capture the sparkly goodness.

 

This LA Colors polish is a new favourite. It’s called Aqua Crystals, and the name is perfect for it because it literally glows. Love, love, love!

 

This is three coats and it looks like the polish has light blue, darker blue and black glitter, and a lot of it. I didn’t expect this to be fully opaque. I thought it would be good as a top coat, but as soon as I painted the second coat I knew it would be perfect on its own.

Here’s how much I love this polish: I got my Beauty Joint order today and I couldn’t bear to take it off so I just tried a couple of the Cherimoya crackles over it I never want to take this offff!!! Probably a good thing because it’s going to be a total biatch to get off

What do you think? Do you luuuurv it like me?

Cherry Culture Haul

What did I see on Thursday afternoon when I walked through the front door after work?

 

An army of polishes!!! My Cherry Culture haul arrived!!! My partner was home until 2 o’clock on Thursday because he had a call out at 2am and couldn’t go into work until later, so he unwrapped them all and lined them up for me so it was the first thing I’d see as I came in the door.

I literally squealed!!!

 

Milani 3D holographics in Digital, Cyberspace and Hi-Tech.

 

3D, HD and Hi-Res

 

Milani Photo Flash. The photos do not do this colour justice. It is a gorgeous berry pink/red which shimmers and is just beautiful! I can’t wait to try it out.

 

Sinful Colours Hottie and Mint Apple. Cannot wait to try these babies!

 

 

LA Colors Aqua Crystals and Cayenne Pepper. Not too sure about the Cayenne Pepper, but we’ll see!

 

I’ve already tried all of the Milani holos, stay tuned for a skittles mani using them!!!
