Ulta Red Carpet Red

Hi guys!

This ones a classic red that I bought for art purposes. Unfortunately, it isn't as opaque as I wanted. It has more of a Jelly finish (explains the VNL) that would be favourable for glitter sandwiches so it will prove its use soon but for now, it will be worn on its own.

China Glaze Ruby Pumps

Today's NOTD is China Glaze Ruby Pumps! It's red, bright and contains lots of glitter packed into a jelly base. I think it may be one of their bestsellers.

I'm disappointed in myself though. My camera doesn't want to correctly capture the true nature of this polish :( I think it's much more vibrant in real life. I just wish that my photography skills would improve. We'll see in time, I guess

NOTD Zoya Lana

Hi everyone,

This poilsh is a redish orange with a gold shimmer. I bought this one on sale at Trade Secrets so maybe it's because it's not that pretty colour. I like it though because it has a duochrome element. It goes on opaque in minimum 2 coats but it's likely best to do 3 becaus these duochromes usually are sheer. The swatches below are with 2 coats tho and a top coat. Only flaw with this polish is its brushstrokes. I don't mind it too much because if you can control your painting well, it won't matter :)

OPI Unknown Bright Metallic Red

Hi everone, I bought this OPI mini polish so long ago and it's weird how long I left it on the back burner. I believe it's been more than a year. It's a gold metallic red. Very vribrant colour... Not quite sure if I like it. I don't have the name of this nail polish simply because there isn't a label on the bottom. If anyone recognizes this colour by any chance, let me know.

China Glaze Lubu Heels

Hi everyone, I have swatches of China Glaze Lubu heels, a black with tiny specks of red glitter. Interesting combo in theory but China Glaze's execution of this colour is not as hoped because the red glitter part is really subtle and almost seems absent. It's supposed to be a tribute to the Christian Louboutin shoes but I don't think this polish pays enough respect because the red soles are the identifying feature of the shoes and this polish does not really bring it out if you get what I'm saying. It's not prominent enough.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed wearing this colour and will continue to. As always thanks for looking!

Valentines Day's Manicure

Hi everyone, I did a little manicure for a friend of mine since she was travelling and I had some free time. We actually had no idea what we were doing beforehand so this design was decided on the spot. It's basically just a couple of hearts done with a dotting tool. What I did was I painted Nfu Oh #064 as a base or bankground colour and Sally Hansen Tickled Pink, Cheeky Monkey Man Eater and OPI Chop-Sticking to My Story for the hearts. I had to add a top coat only because I wanted the manicure to last longer though it didn't really seem to work because after only a day, it already chipped. That's disappointing but I guess it is expected with holographic/prismatic polish. Hope you enjoy looking -Kitty
