Prosperity Meets Purple Haze

Good Friday Morning,

After wearing Illamasqua Prosperity from the Rubber Brights Collection I paired it up with Indie Polish All That Glitters Purple Haze.

Purple Haze, Prosperity

 I purchased All That Glitter Purple Haze awhile back and was just itching to wear it.  Prosperity is a perfect match I just wish the shiny purple squares were more visible on my nails.

All That Glitters Purple Haze

It's chunky and packed well in a clear base then again it looks like a faint light jelly purple base.   I'm happy that the base didn't effect the white square glitters which remain crispy white.

It's so chunky that polishing it on was a pain but the dabbing motion worked wonders spreading out the glitters evenly.
 
Illamasqua Properity and All That Glitters Purple Haze
Here it is with a coat of Gelous and Seche Vite Top Coat
 
 
Here you can see the shiny purple squares that's hidden on the nail.  Maybe next time I'll pair this glitter with a light grey creme so all the glitters can show up well.
 
 
  I'm loving my tips with this amazing purple polish and glitter combo♥♥♥
 
  



Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Throwback Thursdays: NATROBBINS Phantom

Savvy from Addicted To Polish decided to have a Throw Back Thursdays and I decided to join her.  Besides I have lots of oldies but goodies polishes that I have in my collection to share with you.  They are screaming to be used and I am excited!

                                         NATROBBINS Phantom EL111
NATROBBINS Phantom

The formula is so thin when I shake the bottle you can hear it. The first coat gave me bald spots I had to be patient and take my time with it.  The second coat was easier and the third coat was perfect.  It's a chocolate brown with a flash of violet shimmer.  It's unique, I don't have anything like it in my collection.  I mistakenly found it on ebay while searching for another shade by NATROBBINS.  Unfortunately, this brand is discontinued but it's still available on ebay or you may find it at a dusty.

Love the square bottle.  The brush size is standard.

Glitter Gal Duochrome Buckled Bronze
 
 
Buckled Bronze is a dark bronze base with a bronze and an olive green duo chrome effect.  The color shift is very weak but it's more noticeable in the sun.  The formula is thin but buildable, here I used 4 coats for opacity.
