Hibiscus Tempest






After admiring numerous swatches of Mentality matte polishes, I had to get some of them with my latest Harlow&Co. order. Tempest is the first one I wore.




Tempest is a dark, shimmery red with a blackended base that dries to a matte finish. Application was very pleasant, two coats were enough for opacity (the bottle needs a good shake to dispense the pigments, if you don't shake it, you might need three coats).






Then I used Essence Magic Red Carpet, a shimmery crimson red, and Bundle Monster plate BM-318 to stamp hibiscus flowers over Tempest. To retain the matte finish, I didn't use topcoat.

Mentality polishes are available at Big Cartel and at Harlow&Co., where I bought mine.

    1. Vielen lieben dank! Matte Topcoats sind super. Oder man nimmt die faule Variante für Lack-Suchtis wie mich, und benutzt gleich einen matten Lack ;-)
