When a Selkie meets and Elephant!

So, a little while ago in my posting world I posted my swatches of China Glaze Elephant walk, it was nice but I thought I could improve upon the end result. How you may ask? Well, since I have been blog stalking I have noticed that Fingers Polish Mania puts Selkie from Lilaquer polish on *every* mani and it makes it pop that much more. So I ordered a few polishes from Lilaquer's Etsy Store and one of them had to be Selkie! Selkie is a blue/green duochrome top coat that is just lovely and can turn any frown upside down I reackon! LOL.

 As you can see, this has transformed Elephant Walk (which I thought was a bit meh) to something I would love and admire for hours and hours :) Selkie is an awesome topcoat over any polish as you can see it add just a little bit without subtracting anything from the original polish or changing it. Green/blue shift is right up my alley, but Lilaquer also make some reds/orange shifting top coats. So go check out the etsy store! 

What do think of a duochroming top coat, do you need one? I do!

Dollish Go Luigi!

I am still on holidays, but here is a post I prepared earlier (ie. very late the night before we went away!LOL) Today I have for you Dollish's Go Luigi. Now, this polish can look a little, well, not super special in the bottle. It's nice don't get me wrong, but it doesn't make me go "oooh, ahh" like some other do. Don't underestimate this little polish...it can look pretty special on!

I applied just 1 coat of Go Luigi over for this mani, but I didn't put on a top coat which would have completed the look. The glitters do lie flat and are easy to place although I had to do a teensy bit of fishing to get the stars out, nothings to drastic though! I love how this mani looked and was very sad to take it off. The stars are very holo and blingy, just how I like em! LOL

Hope you liked Luigi, will have some more Mario collection after I come back from holidays.
