Rainbow Nails with Essence: Let's Take An Elfie

Rainbow Nails with Essence: Let's Take An Elfie
Glistening snow white shimmer

It's been a while since I made rainbow nails so today I'm going to make up for that.

I painted my nails white with 2 coats of OPI's "Angel With A Leadfoot". Then I applied a layer of Essence's "Let's Take An Elfie".

I made dots in rainbow colours:

Green: Moyra Vivid Sand #712 Summer Green
Yellow: Moyra #65
Orange: H & M Oriole
Red: H & M Berry Love
Purple: Moyra #14
Blue: Dark Blond Imperial Blue
Glitter topper: China Glaze Wildflower Hour

Here is the final result:

It's not very often I say this, but I did actually regret adding the glitter. It wasn't quite right for the rainbow.

Color Club ~ Break It Up

Silver linear holo with holographic glitter

“Break It Up” is from Color Club’s “Halo Crush” collection from Summer 2018. There are six polishes in the collection. I bought 5 of them and left the gold one out, since I hardly ever wear golden polishes. I’m going to show you the ones I’ve got over the next days, and I’m going to link to them all by the end of each post as I publish them.

First one on the nails is “Break It Up”. I actually debated with self whether I should buy this or not. Let’s face the fact: I’ve got quite a lot of silver holos by now, and how different can they be, right? Wrong! This silver holo also contains holographic microglitter for extra sparkle, and it’s amazing! I’m so happy I didn’t give it a miss.

The formula is really good and the coverage too. I could have got away with a single coat if I wanted to. I did use two coats though because I prefer it like that. The drying time is really good. The polish dries up a little bit bumpy because of all the glitter so hurrah for topcoat if you want your nails completely smooth. I don’t mind bumpiness at all but I always use topcoat anyway.

I stamped a starry rainbow on it! I found the star design on the stamping plate “Mezerdoo C43”.

I stamped with four different polishes:

The yellow: El Corazón’s “Yellow”

The orange: El Corazón’s “Pumpkin”

The red: El Corazón’s “Red”

The purple: Born Pretty Store’s “Shimmer Purple”

Here’s the starry rainbow, including a layer of topcoat. It’s a sunshine photo.

This picture is from the lightbox. Look at how the microglitter glitters!

And this is “Break It Up” on its own; two coats and no topcoat yet.

Here is all the stuff I used today.

I am impressed! This is a great polish in all respects. The formula and drying time is really good and so is the coverage. The shine and the rainbows are really awesome. What a great polish! I can’t wait to try the others.
