The Face Shop Nail Pleasure: YL702

The Face Shop has recently released a new nail polish line called Nail Pleasure. Polishes in this line retail for almost double the price of their regular polishes (P185.00 = around $4.00) and come in different bottles:

I suppose the price increase comes from the new packaging. Personally, I like the regular bottles better. They're much sleeker looking.

YL702 is a yellow glittery polish that can probably turn opaque after several coats, but for this swatching, I chose to layer it over a really old Covergirl polish I've had since high school:

It's a frosted red called Cabernet. For a 6 year-old polish, it still applies really well.

I was trying to do something like this stock photo I found on deviantART,

but it didn't turn out quite the way I expected. I do like the amount of glitter YL702 has in just one coat, though.

Maybe I'll try this experiment again some other time.

Elianto: Lime Green

First it was Lemon Green, now we have Lime Green!

I think this is a very fun shade, although maybe it would be better suited for the toes.

This turns opaque in 2 coats.

On Bottle Shots

Since the matter was raised, I think it's redundant for me to post bottle shots of the three brands I often blog about. I already have pictures of what their bottles look like on their Brand Info pages, and their official websites already have good pictures too. Thus, I am only going to post bottle shots IF :

1. the polish brand is NOT Elianto, TFS, or Skin Food
2. the polish bottle is unique
3. the polish looks different on the nails and in the bottle
4. the polish is part of a series

Now that that's been explained, back to the nail polish!

The Face Shop: PP405

Shimmery fuschia pink!

Three coats gets you bottle color.

I think my issues with Blogger are fixed at last. Posting and commenting run smoothly now.

Elianto: Ironic Pearl

If robots wore nail polish, they'd probably go with this one.

Three coats gets you this uber-techy silvery blue-gray color.

I would have named it something like Android, though. What in the world is an "ironic pearl"?

(Something is seriously wrong with Blogger right now. It took me 3 tries to get this entry posted. X_X)

Elianto: Lemon Green (repost)

Sorry, had to repost because Blogger was screwing with yesterday's post. Comments for this ended up in earlier blog posts. X_X

This reminds me more of Granny Smith apples than it reminds me of unripe lemons, actually.

This color is more sheer (sheerer?) than the rest of the Elianto polishes I have, so I used three thick coats to get it solid. Luckily, it still dried evenly despite the thickness.

Skin Food Pedicure Sparkle: #09 Sparkle Red

This polish is more sparkly PINK than it is sparkly red, actually, BUT...

so far, it's the blingiest, sparkliest polish I've ever had the pleasure of owning! Look at that SHINE! And it's a one-coater too. (Besides, I think I'd go blind if I put on another coat!)

I can even see my blurred reflection on these when I wiggle my fingers around! (Sadly, I couldn't capture that on camera properly, so you'll have to take my word for it. Dun worreh, ninjas never lie! XD)

BLING BLING BABY!

Skin Food's Pedicure Sparkle line retails for PHP375.00, which is close to USD8.00.
