I did say I was going to stamp something pretty over the Barielle Secret Encounter that I swatched the other day, but don't you just know it, less than 24 hours later, massive chips everywhere put me off!
So here we have another untried - Models Own Southern Lights from their Wonderland collection. Southern Lights is a lilacy grey base, PACKEDD with fairly fine holo glitter. The sparkle on this one is just WOW (I ended up painting my best friends four-year-olds nails with this too, but good for girlies young and old!).
This would be great layered over another colour (I will try this at some point) or, as I did here, just layer it up until opaque. I used 2-3 coats to get an opaque finish - it is a little rough textured, so I used Seche Vite to smooth the whole thing over.
Of course, holo is quite difficult to photograph, and I did my best but not that happy - and then I went into my kitchen with overhead halogen lights, and immediately found my rather large light box (my kitchen cabinets are cream, so are the backdrop haha). So the first couple of pics are my normal light box, so you can see the soft lilacy-grey and then the last one is with my kitchen lights! Unfortunately it did make my hands turn the colour of lobster....
Base coat Orly Bonder
2-3 coats Southern Lights
Top coat Seche Vite
