Butter London Wallis

Hey guys, currently on holiday in Kazakhstan. I have a number of vault posts & I'm finally able to post them. Today I have Butter London's Wallis. 

A gorgeous gold-olive flecked within a darker base, Wallis doesn't disappoint when it comes to color & formula. It applied perfectly & was easy to control. It definitely looks multi-dimensional with multiple layers. I know it's not one of the more original colors but boy does it look pretty on my fingernails! <3

Reddit Challenge Week 11: Glitter

Shine bright like diamonds.

I actually hate these sort of songs, the beats drives my head crazy, but I'll make an exception for this one. I was inspired to do this manicure after a day of crazy crystal growing in the lab. That's not a euphemism for meth either :D  We really did grow crystals, or to be clear, someone else did after we smashed ours with our slide :(

Here's not our crystals.

Anyway I used China Glaze's Glistening Snow as a base, which is the most perfect silver holographic ever. Look at all that fine holo bits! It looks like diamond dust :o Using a brush, I (rather sloppily) painted on the diamond using NailedIt's tutorial. The color used would be Essence Grumpy from the Snow White collection!

Aritaum No. 36

Today I have for you all a lilac purple holographic shade from Aritaum, a Korean brand. This is my first time reviewing a Korean brand & I very rarely buy their polishes because they don't really have interesting shades available in Singapore. :( Thanks to Melissa, who on a trip to Korea, snagged this goodie for me <3

The formula was really good, probably one of the best formulas I've ever encountered in Korean polishes. It's a subtle holo, not crazy like Halo Hues, but it's very pretty & dainty. It's actually surprisingly girly & very nice againt my skin tone. If only there were shades like this in Singapore... I'd probably describe it as cybertronic lavender flowers! :D

My swatch is at 3 coats.
