There was also a beautiful black one but after a lot of thinking I chose the gold because I saw some more ways to use this one (read Christmas time).
I regretted that I couldn't take them both but today my eye catched Essence Colour & Go Sparkle Sand Effect nail polish.
The color in the bottle showed some similarities with the Artdeco black one that I couldn't afford.
Obviously this ended up in my shopping basket.
Want to know what I'm talking about...
Here is a swatch of this polish:
Essence Colour & Go Sparkle Sand Effect - 165 Here's my number
I'm loving the color! It's not really black but more of an anthracite which makes it more appealing for a wider public.
The sparkling effect is brought by multicolor micro glitter.
Two coats gives an opaque coverage and it goes on very smoothly.
As I was applying this polish I asked myself if this was really a sand nail lacquer. Most of the sand lacquers I know are matte. This one was so shiny I couldn't believe that there was any texture in it.
The picture above reveals some of the shinyness that was still there.
But after some time I saw this polish drying and it turned into a really (beautiful) sand nail lacquer (this look can be found in the next picture).
Anthracite...stones...tiles...floors...walls...brick...BRICK WALL
Logic thinking right ;-P
Well, here is my brick wall nail art:
THis looks great! I'm getting so many ideas for things to try on my blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad to be an inspiration!
DeleteI think Essence is one of the best polishes for the money and I love their bottles and caps. I've not heard about sparkling sand. I wonder if it is a take off on Zoya's Pixie Dust. they sure look similar. I hope we get these in the states. I would like to try one.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I've seen there are two sparkling sands in their 'normal' collection (a red and this anthracite). If you wish I can send these to you...
