Is this the best chrome finish?

Dear Lacqueristas,

Have a look at this pretty lil momma:

China Glaze Sci-Fi

This came out in the Khrome collection. Sci Fi is light blue and has a chrome finish. It goes on as liquid metal. Once applied it is highly reflective. Kinda like a mirror. Ok, I couldn't pluck my eyebrows using my nails as a mirror, but you get the point.
My favorite of the Khrome collection is Milennium, a true silver polish. I love it so much that I have 2 back ups. Many people like to use these polishes from the Khrome collection as a stamping polish for Konad, I like it best just applied on it's own as a manicure. It looks so hot with a tan!

The downside to this amazing chrome finish is that it shows all flaws. I applied 2 thick coats of Gelous as a basecoat to achieve a smooth surface.

Have you come across chrome-like polishes other then China Glazes'? I think a hot pink chrome would be awesome :-D

Have you already entered my Black Shatter giveaway? Here's your chance!

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

Essence MAGNETIC nail polish **swatches and 5 pc GIVEAWAY**

Dear Lacqueristas,

A while ago I posted about the Essence Metallics trend edition. In this collections are 5 nail polishes, 4 of them are magnetic. Since this collection is sought after and most likely to be sold out quickly, I decided to make a giveaway for you all. At the bottom of this post you will find the form to enter.

I have swatched the entire collection:

My favorite: Copper Rulez!

Skittle swatches of all four so you can compare.

These polishes have magnetic particles in it that line up accordingly when you hoover the magnet over the freshly polished nail. Copper Rulez! seems to have the best effect. It is my favorite out of this collection.

The magnet comes with a manual, it shows you what patterns you can make. You have to buy the magnet seperately.

The complete Magnetic Collection. This is also the price you can win with my Magnetic Giveaway.



Giveaway

Now you have the chance to win the entire Essence Magnetic Polishes plus the magnet. Please fill out the form to enter this giveaway. It will be open untill december 5th and the winner will be announced here shortly after. Good luck!

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

Press Release: Essence Metallics Magnetic nailpolish!!! Remember the Lancome Magnetiques?

Dear Lacqueristas,

Essence introduces their winter collection: Mettalic. This collection will be available in november and december and features some kick-ass magnetic nail polishes. Magnetic, you say? Really. Have a look:

This is the look of the Metallics Trend Collection

Iron Goddes

Copper Rulez!

Steel me

Nothing Else Metals

Metal Battle (the only one that's not magnetic)

This is the actual magnet to use with the polishes

These polishes contain magnetic particles that will move toward/from the magnet when the polish is still wet. That creates a unique pattern that will stay put when the polish is dry. Think star shaped patterns.

I missed out on the Lancome Magnetiques so I will defenitly buy some of the Esscence polishes to make up for that. I'm eyeing Metal Battle and Iron Goddess.

The collection will be available in november and december. 

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

China Glaze Sci-fi (Khrome collection)

Dear Lacqueristas,

For ages I am wanting China Glaze Millenium but since it's disconinued I can't get my hands one... The e-tailer I buy most of my polish from offered me a Sci-Fi instead. I knew it was leaning more blue but hey. A gift is a gift right?!

Sci-Fi is a metallic polish that goes on so smooth that there no brushstrokes visible. How awesome is that? My nails looked like they had lil mirrors on them! The color of Sci-Fi is a silver with a blue undertone.

Close-up

Formula overall was good, but I did notice I had to work really quick as the polish brush tends to drag the layer underneath if this is semi-drying. So I applied just 3 quick brush strokes to each nail and let them dry before I applied the second coat. Two coats is all it took! Another plus is that the polishes from the Khrome collection are awesome for Konad stamping!

Who has a spare bottle of Millenium to swap?

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!
