BYS Magenta stamped with Sally Hansen Pink Satin & China Glaze Passion

BYS Magenta stamped with Sally Hansen Pink Satin & China Glaze Passion

This is BYS Magenta (one of the color changing series), topped with Essie As Gold As It Gets (which is sadly not apparent here), stamped with Sally Hansen Pink Satin + BM206 and China Glaze Passion + BM313 and mattified with Rimmel.

I tried this polish out as I figured my nails were long enough to possibly see some gradient as the tips would be cooler in temperature. Please click read more if you want to see more pics of Magenta and my review.

Innisfree nail polish 101 (dupe of Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream?)

Innisfree nail polish 101 (dupe of Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream?)

This was part of my Etude House and Innisfree nail polish haul and I grabbed this when I saw it as it reminded me of Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream, with its fine aqua and gold glitter and turquoise bigger glitter. Unfortunately I don't have Mermaid's Dream so I can't do a comparison but I think it is a close dupe? Scroll down to the last pic below for a shot in the sun which is probably more color accurate. It applies well and above is 2 coats.

Below is 1 coat FYI.

1-2 days later on I was bored and decided to sponge on China Glaze Passion and mattify it with Rimmel Mattifying top coat.

Revlon Mischievous stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep + BM321 and mattified

Revlon Mischievous stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep BM321 and mattified

Colours used:
Base - Revlon Mischievous
Stamping polish - Sally Hansen Silver Sweep
Plate - BM321
Matte top coat - Rimmel Mattifying Topcoat

Silver Sweep was another polish I read so much about but not sold here like Revlon Whimsical, so again, luckily, when I was overseas, I saw it and grabbed it :D

Mischievous is a medium taupe, leaning towards purple and 2 coats was enough for me. Silver Sweep as testified by many bloggers, is good stamping polish and I'm glad to finally have a silver stampable polish. Rimmel does the mattifying quite well and I'm happy with this cheaper alternative to Essie Matt About You.

The stamping this time is a little patchy but still passable and I must admit I love general full nail designs, as I hardly need to align them at all, hehe....
