Seventeen Cosmetics 70 with 3D stickers


Hello 8D

I finally got around to doing something I've been looking forward to for quite a while, which is this:
 

First let me share a bit of info about the polish. It's Seventeen Cosmetics #70, and it's probably my favorite polish of theirs ever. It's like a hematite gray with tons of silver shimmer. Here's what it looks like without a top coat:



I love everything about it, it applies like a dream and it's even not that hard to wipe off, despite the amount of shimmery particles it's got. Here are a few more shots from different angles:



Then the next day I realized I've got a really great collection of nail stickers and I haven't used any in over a year! Here's the sheet I used for this manicure:



To be honest I completely forgot where I got them from, but I really wish I could get some more. You can never have enough 3D nail stickers :D
These are really excellent, they stay put even without a top coat, but I did add a couple of coats just to be sure. My nails are all very rounded, especially towards the tips, but unlike a lot of other stickers these don't peel up at the edges at all. Even better, they're really easy to take off too, all you need is your regular nail polish remover.
Here's the finished manicure, first with no top coat:


And now with the top coat:




That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed and thank you so much for reading : )

Flormar layering: taupe and blue

Hello :D

You know those really sheer iridescent polishes with a grayish-yellowy base to them?

Flormar Plus Quartz - 071

Yeah.

Can I call these duochrome polishes? I don't know. Anyway I used to hate them with a passion, but when I realized they look amazing on top of other polishes, I changed my mind! To be honest I don't even remember what I was thinking when I bought this, but I'm glad I did. I've had it for a year or maybe even two, and as you can see, I've used up a ton.

I also don't remember how I decided it would be a good idea to layer it over taupe:


 Flormar - 413

I don't really get a lot of compliments for this combination to be honest, but I don't mind because I really like it a lot :D This is one coat of each polish btw. The taupe color is really opaque with just one coat!

OMG
  
Here are some more pictures from different angles:






And in different lighting conditions:



The polishes are really cheap but very good quality. I've got quite a few more and I'm definitely going to feature all of them on my blog. Sometime. But anyway, if you have the chance to get these, I highly recommend them. Also, get the fast drying top coat too. I ran out of mine, as you can see :D





So yeah, that's all for now!
Thank you for reading and have a lovely day : )
