Today I have no glitter, but flakies to show you: Cult Nails Seduction over Time Traveler.
Cult Nails sold these two polishes as a set a while
ago (including thier "Wicked Fast" topcoat). Time Traveler is in their
permanent range, but Seduction is a limited edition
Time Traveler is a ninth Doctor Tardis blue creme. For non-Whovians: this means a dark, muted navy.
"Nowhere, in any other timeline, or
parallel universe, has a plain blue polish been so perfect. You can
search back through time, but a rich, vivid navy blue crème with a
flawless finish, like this, just hasn’t existed until now! Time
Traveler was originally offered as part of the “Super Powers”
Collection, 2011."(Source: Cult Nails)
This polish is very well pigmented. On one hand,
this is great, it means it's opaque with one thicker or two thinner
coats (I used two). On the other hand, this also means clean up (and removing) is a
mess. My pictures show the result of 10 minutes of
clean up: my cuticles are still blue... Hello smurf fingers! But the blue cuticles were the
only issue I had with this polish. The formula is great, neither too
thick nor too thin, and it dries fast and shiny (the picture shows it
without topcoat).
On top of Time Traveler I added the second polish
of the set: Seduction. Seduction contains lots and lots of flakies. Some
of them are blue, but most are multichrome: They change from fuchsia
over orange and yellow to green, depending on
the angle you look at them.
I added one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast over
Seduction, and then decided to mattify this mani. So I added an
additional coat of Essence Soft Touch Topcoat.
Cult Nails Polishes are sold at their own shop and at Overall Beauty.
I love Seduction!!! I only opened up the bottle recently for a flakie comparison and was all OMG why did I wait soooo long??? My favorite dark blues are Butter London Royal Navy and Nfu Oh 119 - I prefer my dark blues to be more jellyish ;-). I like both versions - shiny and matte
ReplyDeleteOh, I love dark blue jellies! I have to check out the two you mentioned!
DeleteWirklich eine zauberhafte Kombination!
ReplyDeleteVielen Dank!
DeleteTolle Kombination! Ich liebe Seduction in matt <3
ReplyDeleteIrgendwo habe ich matte Flakies gesehen und musste das mal ausprobieren. War das bei dir?
DeleteJa, ich hab die japanischen Pa Flakies geschichtet und mit einem matten Top Coat versehen. Da war auch Seduction mit dabei. Schön, dass das hängengeblieben ist ^^
DeleteSO pretty! Reminds me of Unicorn Puke. I literally just bought Seduction
ReplyDeleteI never got a bottle of Unicorn Puke, so I guess Seduction is the next best thing ;-)
DeleteWow, ist der Lack toll!
ReplyDeleteIrgendwie gehen die cult nails Lacke immer an mir vorbei, aber sie haben so schöne Farben...
Schade, dass es den clairvoyant nicht mehr gibt :-(
Aber deine Kombi finde ich richtig schick <3
Vielen lieben Dank!
DeleteWenn dir der Seduction gefällt, solltest du dich beeilen. Cult Nails machen Schlussverkauf, vom Seduction sind gemäss Facebook nur noch 49 Flaschen vorhanden ;-)
Die Kombination ist ja echt traumhaft! :-) Und ich merke, dass ich es wirklich mal probieren sollte, matten Topcoat über die Splitter aufzutragen... Wirkt sehr hübsch.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße
Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt. Ich bin allgemein ein grosser Fan von mattierten Lacken, die sehen gleich ganz anders und irgendwie edler aus :-)
