Ehi everyone!
Weather keeps sucking over here. I tell you, this year the day after August 31st was November 1st. Seriously. It has rained without stopping since Sunday night and it’s cold and I hate it.
I had to start thinking about a polish that could give me some sparkle even when it’s so dark outside and the answers are foils, mattes, and glitters. These finish work great when the weather sucks. I went for glitters… and then turned them into mattes!
These are two coats of Shimmer Polish Cristina layered over Color Club Port-Folio. Cristina is a made of forest green glitters in a clear base, with some sparse blue, aqua, purple and red glitters mixed with it. Once again I love my layering choice and Cristina really gave me the sparkles I needed in a rainy day!
Ciao a tutti!
Il tempo continua a far schifo da queste parti. Io ve lo dico, a Rimini quest’anno dopo il 31 agosto è arrivato il 1° novembre. Davvero. Non ha smesso di piovere mai da domenica sera ed è freddo e io sono stufa –.-
Ho cominciato a pensare a uno smalto che potesse sbrilluccicare un po’ nonostante il cielo cupo e la risposta è sempre foil, matte o glitter. Ho scelto un glitter, poi però l’ho mattificato :p
Queste sono due passate di Shimmer Polish Cristina stese sul Color Club Port-Folio. Cristina è fatto di glitter verdi in base trasparente, con l’aggiunta di altri glitter più sparsi rossi, viola, turchesi e blu. Ancora una volta adoro la base che ho scelto e Cristina mi ha davvero illuminato la giornata come speravo!
Isn’t it equally gorgeous? I love both versions, can’t pick a favourite! What about you?
And the info box: Shimmer Polish is based in California and ships internationally. You can find her creations at:
Ma non è stupendo in entrambe le versioni? Io non saprei scegliere quale preferisco >_< Che dite?
E per finire le info su Shimmer Polish: è un indie californiano che spedisce anche in Italia. Potete trovare i suoi smalti su:

ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know why I don't use matte top coats more!

DeleteOooh, I love it with the matte top coat!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica! I really like it, too!
DeleteLove the way it looks matte! I hope your weather starts getting better, we've had a lot of rain here too but at least we've gotten sunshine in between.
ReplyDeleteSo far no good, today it only rained a few minutes but sunshine never showed up. Ugh!
DeleteA matte top coat on any polish really gives a whole new life to a polish. It's amazing how different polish looks with the matte addition. I love it both ways but I think the matte version is my fave!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenna! I need to use my matte and suede top coats more often!
DeleteThis is a great polish to add a little sparkle to your day. :)
ReplyDeleteAmen! It really made it!
DeleteThis is so pretty! I love the mattified glitter!
ReplyDeleteIt was great that way!
DeleteI love it matte! The weather isn't great here either, but I'm positive it will be a nice fall ;)
ReplyDeleteLet's hope so! I don't mind if it's a little colder, but I do need sunshine!
DeleteBoth are great. All in all I like glitters from this series you've shown - a lot. The matte is perhaps slightly more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! These Shimmer's are really incredible!
DeleteLa mia versione preferita è quella matte!
ReplyDeleteBellissimo smalto *__*
Grazie :D :D
DeleteBelle davvero!!! Il costo di "cristina"? :)
ReplyDeleteGrazie! Se visiti il negozio, che ho linkato in fondo al post, vedi tutti i prezzi. Cmq circa 9,50€ più spedizione :)
DeleteQuesto qui è davvero spettacolare, il mio preferito finora!
ReplyDeleteGrazie! La base cambia molto il look di questi glitter, sono davvero camaleontici!
DeleteCristina is a very beautiful polish!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I really loved it!
DeleteQuesto smalto mi da vibe natalizie, e ciò mi piace. La versione matte mi piace molto meno, appunto perché il glitterio è fondamentale!
ReplyDeleteNon ci avevo pensato per la mancanza di rosso, ma in effetti hai ragione!
Deletequesto smalto nero e verde è uno spettacolo!!
ReplyDeleteGrazie :)
