Orly: Luxe + Barry M: Instant Nail Effect

lyra — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 14:16:00 +0000

I love this gold polish! Orly Luxe: nice warm gold color packed with a lot of silver metallic micro-glitter. The result is super sparkly look with a foil-like finish. It’s well pigmented so it’s opaque in one coat! This is really an eye-catching color.

Because I like black’n'gold combinations I added a coat of Barry M Instant nail a.k.a. crackle polish. I wanted to keep the matte finish of crackle polish so I applied a top coat prior to the coat of crackle.

Essence: Zulu + Konad

lyra — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 16:15:00 +0000

Hi!

Yesterday I felt so uninspired. I stared at all my polishes for about half an hour and not a single one looked interesting enough. This was my 3rd try to make something worth showing. At first I tried something with gold and black combination – didn’t work out, then I did some layering and it was no-no. After that I made another Konad failure. At the end I put on the Essence Zulu from Into The Wild collection and done the Konad with Barry M Vivid Purple and image plate m65. I still don’t like this manicure on my nails, but I guess it’s one of those days when there is no polish that will satisfy me.

Bye! -Lyra*

Nfu Oh: 61 + Barry M: Indigo

lyra — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:45:59 +0000

Nfu Oh 61 is the best silver holo I have ever seen! This one is truly a holo madness! It’s the most holographic color I have ever worn and I love it! The only thing I regret is that I don’t have Nfu Oh Aqua base, so the application was a night mare. I tried applying it over different base coats and even without it, but polish is always causing me problems with bold spots and streaks. At the end I carefully applied three thin layers without base coat. And it was worth it!

Nfu Oh 61:

I made a ruffian with Barry M Indigo. Indigo isn’t the right color on the pictures – in person it’s more purple.

Have a nice time! Lyra

Barry M: Indigo

lyra — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 22:39:25 +0000

Barry M Indigo polish is … well an indigo shade . It’s something between blue and purple. Depending on the lightning it’s sometimes more blue, other times more purple. I didn’t have any issues applying it. It’s opaque with two coats. This one was a nightmare for my camera. The first picture is the closest to reality, the second is too blue.

Barry M Indigo:

Do you like this shade?

Barry M: Blueberry Ice Cream

lyra — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 22:35:13 +0000

Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream is lighter pastel blue color. It looks like clear blue sky. It’s opaque in two coats. I really don’t know how I fell about this color on me.

Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream:

I did a simple and quick, but still nice manicure with the dotting tool. I used the following polishes: Essence Deep Blue Sea (dark blue), Essie Blanc (white), China Glaze Millennium (silver) and Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau (light blue). Here is the result:

Bye!

Barry M: Berry Ice Cream + Konad

lyra — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:59:24 +0000

Barry M Berry Ice Cream is creamy lilac color with splash of pink. I like how color changes on different lightings. In the sun it is almost completely pink. The pictures show a two-coat application.

Barry M Berry Ice Cream:

I added the Konad flower pattern from image plate m80 with the Color Club Wild at Heart.

Have a nice time! Lyra*

Barry M: Raspberry + Nfu Oh: 39

lyra — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 04:17:42 +0000

Hi everyone!

Barry M Raspberry is nice juicy raspberry color with creamy finish. It’s well pigmented and if you are carefully enough you can pass it with just one coat for full coverage.

Barry M Raspberry:

I just had to put something over Raspberry . I wasn’t in the mood for Konading, so I chose Nfu Oh 39 for layering. Nfu Oh 39 in the bottle reminds me of fresh lemonade. There are yellow flakes with bluish reflection from different angles in a transparent base. It looks really nice on a darker polish.

Nfu Oh 39 layered over Barry M Raspbery:

Have a nice time!

OPI: What’s With The Catitude? + Barry M: Instant Nail Effect

lyra — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 17:14:53 +0000

Because I love the crackle polish effect so much, I just had do did it again. This time I used OPI What’s With The Catitude? for the base and added some holo effect with the Kleancolor Holo Blue polish.

And here is the picture with the crackle polish:

I really like it how the holo effect sparkles between cracks.
