Colores de Carol ~ Beso

Colores de Carol ~ Beso

Berry red linear holo

Beso is from the Valentine's Day Quart from 2016. I only bought one of the four polishes in the collection. I love berry reds and magentas!

The formula is really good and so is the opacity. I used two easy coats for full coverage and the drying time was really good.

I stamp is from Lina’s stamping plate “Make Your Mark 04” and I stamped with Color Club’s “Harp on It”.

As always: The stamp is not very visible when you stamp with holo on holo. It mostly adds to the rainbows.

Here’s a lightbox picture.

And here’s Beso on its own. It’s two coats and no topcoat yet.

These are the things I used today.

I really love this polish, the colour is so me and the rainbows are so pretty.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Everything about this polish is just great

Buy again: Yes

Colores de Carol ~ Infinity

Colores de Carol ~ Infinity

Sky blue linear holo

Infinity is from the “Pure Imagination” collection from Spring 2017.

The formula is on the thick side, which I prefer. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is pretty good.

I made three lines on each nail with P2’s “Rock it!”, which is a bright fuchsia shimmer.

Here is the final manicure including a layer of topcoat. It’s all taken with flash.

This is the same thing photographed in ordinary daylight, no sun or flash. It’s a lovely blue and there are still rainbows!

Here is Infinity on its own.

This is a really pleasant polish, I like the colour and the rainbows.

Colores de Carol ~ Discovery

Colores de Carol ~ Discovery

Described as a bold pink linear holo with flashes of purple-blue iridescent micro glitter

Discovery is from the ”Pure Imagination” collection and a classic example of how the description doesn’t quite match what I actually see in real life. To me this is a pink linear holographic. It’s not bold in my opinion and I don’t see any signs of microglitter no matter how much I twist and turn my bottle. But never mind, it’s a nice polish nonetheless, it just puzzles me when this happens.

The formula is good, and a bit sheer on the first coat. The second coat builds up to full opacity though so no worries there. The drying time is average.

The stamp I used is from one of my all time favourite stamping plates: BP-L003. There are so many cool designs on that plate! I stamped with a polish my boyfriend gave me a long time ago: Max Factor’s ”Burgundy Crush”. It’s a great polish for stamping because it’s so pigmented.

Here’s the final manicure including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken with flash.

This s the same thing photographed in ordinary daylight, no sun.

Here’s Discovery on it’s own; two coats and no topcoat. I took this picture with flash.

Here are the things I used for my nails today.

I really like to stamp with red over pink; it always looks so nice!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Average

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Pleasant colour, nice rainbows
