So I lasted all of two days before I took off my
magnetic mani from last time and gave in to the beauty that is
L'Oreal-Magic Croisette. As I mentioned, it's a
beautiful royal blue polish with goldy/greeny/aquay shimmer in (hard to tell the actual colour as it's constantly changing in different lights!) and frankly it looks pretty amazing on my nails. I'm a bit sad though that after two coats on my (tiny) toe nails and two coats on my fingers I've already used up a FIFTH of the teeny bottle. I reckon after this it's going to be a special occasion polish because it's too nice to use up too soon!
I added an accent nail of
Emily de Molly's gorgeous
When Planets Collide which I bought ages ago and for some reason I had never used on my fingers! It's a lovely glitter polish with blue, teal and orange glitters of various sizes in a dark navy/black base and I probably could have layered it up without the Magic Croisette underneath as it's turned out quite dark looking, although still lovely. (For better pictures go to the
listing on Emily de Molly's Etsy page.)
Anyway, enough talking, on to the pictures-two coats of MC and three coats of WPC on my accent:

Ooft. I love this. It's so shimmery and shiny and sparkly and all the colours in it look fab. I know the pictures don't do either of these polishes justice, but trust me, they both look amazing. I'm definitely in love, can someone just marry me to Magic Croisette please? You're going to be seeing more of this this week because I'm going to keep it on as long as I can, so will have to work around it tomorrow for Try Something Tuesday, but I'm sure I can think of something!
Until then,

P.S I know these photos look messy but I just can't seem to clean them up any better! If anyone's got any advice for me as to how to get a neater clean up
please let me know. At the moment I'm just using remover and a cotton bud and as you can see, it doesn't do the best job! Thanks =)
Tidying nails is the bane of my blogging life (I swear the camera invents bits that I have missed) - I have found that a brush does a much finer job that a cotton bud but to be honest I think blue is one of the worst colours for clean up anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, loving this blue polish!!!
Yeah I know what you mean! They look all right in real life but in the photos it looks like I've not cleaned them up at all. I'm wondering if it'd be worth me sacrificing one of my nail art brushes for clean up, but I only have 3 so I'm not keen on the idea. Thanks for the advice though!
DeleteI use an old lip brush dipped in pure acetone for clean up. It's the best thing I've found for clean up.
