As base color I used two coats of Essie Maximilianstrasse Her (Madison Ave-hue Collection), a pastel green creme with strong grey untertones. No issues with application to report.
Then I added one dabbed coat of Elevation Polish Catch A Wave (one of the few Eleveation polishes not named after a mountain), a clear base with various sized dots in different shades of aqua, silver and turquoise, plus iridescent hexes in two sizes.
Catch A Wave was less glitter-packed than I expected, so I used a lot of polish until I was happy with the amount of glitter on my nails, which ended in the glitters sliding to the sides of my nails due to too much base (you can see it best on my middle finger), and a very long drying time, even though I used a quick drying topcoat (Rica Glossy Glam). And in the end, I found out I liked the nails with a little less glitter (like my pinkie) better than the ones with lots of them. Well, I think I've learned my lesson for next time :-)
Elevation Polish are available at their own store and at Llarowe.
I love this color combination - am actually wearing similar ones since Thursday!!! I am with you, I like the pinkie with sparse glitter best!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've seen it on your Hair Stylist IG picture, perfect color for spring. And the next time I'll wear Catch A Wave, I'll sure use it in a thinner coat :-)
DeleteIch liebe Maximillianstraße total, ein soooo schöner Lack. Ich freu mich sehr, dass er jetzt im Standardsortiment ist.
ReplyDeleteAch, der ist jetzt im Standardsortiment? Darum kümmere ich mich ehrlich gesagt überhaupt nicht, da ich die Lacke ohnehin über's Internet bestelle, bei uns kosten sie ungerechnet ca. 16 Euro, das ist mir zu teuer, wenn ich sie aus den USA inklusive Porto für einen Drittel bekomme. Ende Mai bin ich wieder in Deutschland, da werde ich mir das Sortiment wieder anschauen (8 Euro sind OK, das bin ich bereit, zu zahlen), eigentlich wäre mir ja der breite Pinsel schon lieber...
DeleteCute combination, very nice for spring I think :-)
ReplyDeleteI especially like these turquoise/aqua shades in spring, too :-)
DeleteSuper title! And Catch a Wave is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You can always catch me with circle glitter and all shades of blue, so I totally agree with you concerning Catch A Wave :-)
