Basically this is one coat of Kleancolor - Red Hot layered over a black creme, then matte top coat on top. Red Hot have middle sized red shiny hexagons and small sized red shiny hexagons in a red transparent jelly base. If not being careful when applying Red Hot, the larger hexagons have a tendancy of clustering as you can see they did on my left hand but not my right hand (started painting my left.) And yea, drying time was normal. Basically I like this even though an additional coat of Red Hot wouldn't have been wrong. :)
hihi, with my matching red pearl ring. ^^ |
Polishes used:
Nordic Cap - NP12
Kleancolor - Red Hot
HM matte top coat
So, what do you think about my Christmas nails? ;) And Red Hot? Isn't this look similar to NYX -Dorythy Who (except this is not a jelly and perhaps more glitter sparse)?
Wow. Det där vill jag härma men mitt matta topplack ser ut som öken. Får köpa nytt. :)
ReplyDeleteJa, mitt är också på sista versen.. Måste inhandla nytt jag med!
DeleteWow, I love glitter with matte top coat:)
ReplyDeleteYea, me too. Looks really cool :D
Deleteok. you beat my record (I showed mine in the middle of january lol).
ReplyDeletecool! I like that matte finish over glitter. "red on black" again. sooo gothic =)))
Thanks! Haha..yea.. I was very late but then again I haven't even showed my christmas manicure of 2012...but the photos came out crap so there's a reason... ;)
DeleteI can't get enough of these black and red manicures ^^
I love that you matte it. Such a clever idea! =^.^=
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yea, I really prefer it matte, everything shows of so much better :D
DeleteWhat cute looks this mani. I need to buy this matte top coat :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yea, a matte polish is a must in every girls polish collection ^^
DeleteYou matched your mani to your Christmas decoration - awesome!!!! I love it at one coat - it looks perfect and with the mattified finish just wonderful <3
ReplyDeleteOh yea! Love that you remember my Christmas decorating style! <3 And thanks, matte can make manicures looks so awesome :D
DeleteKanon snyggt! Måste verkligen testa med matt över glitter för det ser verkligen läckert ut. Ringen är super snygg åxå ;)
ReplyDeleteJa, gör't, det är värt det kan jag säga! Jag måste köpa nytt matt lack nu, mitt är sluuut. Och jag vill göra mer matta manikyrer. ^^
DeleteOh I loove this! Red Hot is an amazing color, especially topped over black and the matte version- awsome! But the matte polish looks streaky though or is it just me? What are your experiences with this polish?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yea, any glitter mattified is great!
DeleteYou're so correct about the streakyness! However it's because it was literally the last drips of polish in the bottle, I should have thinned it but...discovered too late and was in a rush during christmas. HM matte nail polish formula is very thin so there's no risk of streakyness because of that. However it's very fast drying and the brush is tiny (for my nails at least) so one has to move very quickly. It isn't especially long-lasting either, day two it feels more satin than matte. I'm going to try another matte and evaluate ;)
Så himla snyggt! Måste också börja lacka lite med mina glitter med topplack. Men jag tar sällan glitter på iom att jag är så himla lat när det gäller borttagning :/
ReplyDeleteTack. Ja, det är ju nackdelen med glitter, en smula jobbigare än det andra. Dock så funkar ju det ju att ta SV som bas, och annars så tar jag aceton så går ganska fort ändå :P
DeleteMattified glitters are sooo awesome! It looks just stunning and the Kleancolor polish is really gorgeous <3
ReplyDeleteYea, I couldn't agree more :D I must do it more often :D Just have to get a new matte tc! :D
DeleteMatta överlack på glitter funkar alltid! Skitsnyggt. :)
ReplyDeleteJapp, nickar instämmande! Måste göra det oftare..
