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.

Lilacquer Selkie, deceptive in the bottle

Now you shift the light to see the duochrome!

Green Shift

Blue Shift

Duo Shift

With Flash

 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!

Dollish Go Luigi!

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.

China Glaze Elephant Walk

Super late and super quick post today. I had to work on a Sunday, boo. The good news is I am on 3 weeks of holidays as of the end of my shift today, yay! Going away for a part of it, so there will be a few scheduled post and maybe not one exactly everyday..will see how it goes!

Today I have for you China Glaze Elephant Walk from the on Safari collection. I want to like this polish as it's a grey with a hint of green in it, but not sure I do....maybe it's the green in the grey that I don't like? Anyways onto the pics!

 This is base coat and 2 coats of Elephant walk

 Greenish tinge to the grey can be seen here :)

 Darkish grey anyone?

 Lightish grey anyone?

 Grey/green with some shimmer!

So, this is China Glaze Elephant Walk..I like it for a grey, its nice..it just doesn't rock my world. Don't know why! It seems an interesting enough polish..maybe it doesn't go with my skin tone like I thought it would or maybe I just don't like the muddying the colors of grey and green. I just can't pinpoint why I don't love, love, love it. Hrm.

What do you guys think? Do you like the grey of Elephant walk or is it blah? Hopefully some fun colors this week since I am HOLIDAYS! Did I mention that? :)
