The Suite Life
No, no, no, not that Disney Channel show... I'm talking about the AWESOME suite... Adobe Creative Suite! :) Being a graphic designer by trade, the icons are something I'm fairly familiar with, and I thought they'd be a fun manicure! :-D From thumb to pinky are Dreamweaver, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, and Illustrator. I think with all this free advertising, Adobe should give me CS5. lol *JUST KIDDING* <---(unless you work at Adobe and really want to send it to me, :-P)
I used L.A. Girl Army Green as a base for the thumb, then mixed with Essie Mink Muffs and Nubar Forest for the gradient. For the index finger, I used Essie Foot Loose as a base, with Color Club Ms. Socialite for the gradient. On the middle finger, I used Orly Snowcone as a base, then mixed with Orly Cosmic FX Lunar Eclipse for the gradient. The base on the ring finger is Eyeko Saucy Polish for Naughty Nails, with A Beautiful Life Poison for the gradient. Lastly, the pinky was Zoya Jancyn as a base, with CND Electric Orange for the gradient. For all the letters, I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud, then topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Do you live the Suite life?
Disclosure: Eyeko Saucy polish was sent to me for consideration by the manufacturer.
Color Club - Revvvolution
My Private Chainmail Revvvolution
Bon Giorno! Hope everyone is doing well! Just like the last holo I posted, this one was bought to fill a void left by some other tauntingly HTF polish. Yep, you've guessed that right! OPI My Private Jet original. I own two different kinds of My Private Jet, but neither of them come even close to the real thing: the hottest black holo evar!? There are some alternatives out there: Diamond Cosmetics' Chainmail Charm and another one you see here: Color Club's Revvvolution.
High hopes
Ok. I'll say it. I actually was a bit disappointed when I wore this for the first time. I don't know, the holographic effect was less pronounced then I had expected. It is pretty gorgeous nonetheless. So if you're not expecting MPJ, it would definitely work!
Application
The more Color Club polishes I try, the more I'm stunned by their application. Everything just goes on so easy, a delight to work with. Revvvolution is pretty opaque, so I only needed 2 layers. And did you know it does a pretty good job at stamping as well?
Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!
