Allo polish Pals,
How are you doing today? Have you had a
good week so far? I have to admit I've spent the last few days in
bed, luckily enough I've been taken good care of by Mr Bravo. I hope
you guys are feeling in good health! I'm going to let you
into a little secret that bares relevance to today's
swatch. Back in my teen years I used to dress in what you'd consider
gothic clothing, I had the lot. The black lipstick, spiky dog collars
and even the 5ft platform boots with straps and lace all up the sides
(The list goes on) While I say each to their own I am much happier
with a wardrobe full of bright and colourful garments, Oh.. and shoes
I don't fall over in! (That actually happened with said boots. In
a store..) So... ♥ Today I have a polish I have been so
keen to share with you, Amethyst from Model's Own's 'Velvet Goth'
Collection.
Application ~ I can't lie to you guys... had some trouble. For one thing, because of the texture of Amethyst it meant that it was less easy than usual to get a nice clean coat by the cuticles. It also meant that covering the sides of my nail was a little trickier. Apart from that I was happy and with two layers of top coat she sparkled like a beauty.
★★★/5 A little bit of a mixed review right? I absolutely love the finished result, the intense glitter is absolutely stunning to see in person but the application of Amethyst is a little tiring. I do think its totally worth it - Amethyst is an investment to any collection f you have nothing similar. And if you scared of the glitter removal it is easily a banished problem by using the foil-removal method.
What do you think of Amethyst? Have you tried any of the 'Velvet Goth' Collection?
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Love
Ithi
I haven't tried anything from that collection but this one looks amazing;) love it!:)
ReplyDeleteIt is really stunning in the light, so sparkly! I've only tried two but they both seem great :) xx
DeleteLol so fun to read about your little secret...;-) But not so fun to read that you're still ill and in bed. Glad that Dr Bravo is taking care of you. <3
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say about this polish? Hmm, it's fantastic, sooo amazing. :-)
Glad you found it amusing, teenagers, eh?! Thank you so much Ann-Sofie, I'm lucky to have 24/hr care ha. I'm glad you like this one! xx
Deletewow, this colour is absolutely awesome! love, love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Fife! :) xx
Delete♥ adorable.this nail color is stunning ! love to see your swatches ! but bottle is also cute !
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful on you, the combination of purple and black is always nice. :P Also thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHope you'll get better soon! :)
The polish looks gorgeous on you. No more gothic clothing but maybe more gothic nail polish for you? ;) Sad thing about the texture but the glitter makes it worth trying!
ReplyDeleteHey Ithi. I have the polishes from the velvet goth collection. Amethyst is the only one I've used twice and I was so disappointed to find it had gone thick and gloopy. I agree that it made neat cuticle lines hard to achieve so I felt disappointed. I love your swatches with top coat as it really brings out the depth of colour xx
ReplyDeletePretty Polish - a shame its so hard to apply though! If not I may have had to go get one myself as it actually looks really pretty.
ReplyDeletethis is a gorgeous polish! actually in my teen years i dressed really punk! red plaid skirts, black eyeliner, skulls, safety pins, fishnets in school, everything! that's funny we have that little past fashion in common!
