365 days of colour: day 8

Purple!

And a little bit of sparkle.

Revlon Passionate Fruit is a red-toned purple with a sweet fruity scent.  
Due to the scented oil, it does take a little longer to dry than standard colours.

Ring Finger is Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple. 

These colours are gorgeous, and I love the duochromeness.  But the dry time.  Oh gosh the dry time.  It takes FOREVER.  Hence the wrinkles.  Not only does the base take forever to dry, but it re-activates the base colour to such a degree that it takes everything with it if it moves.  
Every part of me wants to use a 2nd coat for a greater colour payoff, but I couldn't stomach the thought of waiting another hour for one coat to dry.

365 Days of color: Day 7

Red.

Red with glitter.

Red with glitter and texture.

That's what we got today.  

OPI Liquid Sand in The Impossible.  Ring finger: Color Club 60sec top coat.  Other fingers: Rimmel Matte Top Coat.

This was such a lemming polish for me.  I tried for ages and ages to find it, but could never bring myself to pay $25 for it.  When a friend had it for sale cheaper, I bought it.  

And I love it.  I find the texture to be a little extreme on the OPI polishes - I think when you have a solid base colour but only leave enough grit to make it gritty, it stands out as being TOO rough.  Top coat smooths it down to a more, gentle rough, as opposed to sandpaper rough.
