Kiwi Smoothie

Hello everyone!

I finally tried out the polish I hauled last winter!
It's Dance Legend 949 Kiwi Smoothie from the series Fruity Milk.
This polish is semi-opaque, milky-green with small glitter dots and hexagons in green and gold.
After staying too long on the shelf the glitters went down the bottle. What is more important, this polish dries really slowly. I don't have enough patience to wait... Or am I just hopelessly spoiled with all the super-quick-dry polishes?

Прывітанне!
Сёння я нарэшце спытала лак для пазногцяў, які я здабыла яшчэ ўзімку, калі была ў Мінску. Гэта лак рускай маркі Dance Legend нумар 949, са смачнай назвай Kiwi Smoothie ("садавінавы кактэйль з ківі"). Назва серыі таксама гучыць салодка: Fruity Milk ("садавінавае малако").
Лак напаўпразрысты, малочна-зялёны, з таксама зялёнымі і залатымі бліскаўкамі, частка з якіх вельмі дробныя, як кропачкі, другая частка - трохі буйнейшыя шасцікутнічкі.
Ад доўгача чакання на паліцы шасцікутнічкі пачалі падаць да дна. Аднак большая праблема - гэта доўгі час на сушэнне лака. Гэты лак сохне вельмі доўга. Мне не хапае цярплівасці на такое чаканне... Можа я дужа спешчаная ўсімі сучаснымі лакамі, якія суперхутка сохнуць?

 Here there are four coats of Kiwi Smoothie. Three coats were still a bit too sheer.

Тут чатыры слаі  Kiwi Smoothie. Праз тры слаі можна было яшчэ трошкі бачыць пазногаць.

Lacy

Today I do a many for the theme "Lace" (FB group AiS Sunday challenge).
I gathered already some plates by different makers with lace patterns, so it's a good opportunity to try them on.

Base is Yves Rocher polish 64. Menthe, which is actually dark green of the brilliant green kind. Then I stamped with BBF-04 and light green KONAD polish.
On the accent nail I used Dance Legend Kiwi Smoothie, MoYou Bridal-06 and the Menthe as stamping polish.

"It's good to touch a green, green lace of home..."

Winter Thermo

This time we were testing a thermo polish by Dance Legend. My sister was here again with her nails. The shade number 176 is lilac or purple in a "cold state". The shade is matte without any noticeable shimmer.

I stamped with essie Nothing Else Metals the swirly images from MoYou Pro 14. For the accent nail  I took white colour and MoYou Pro 06.

And if it's warm the polish turns to bright pink! 

If the air temperature is on level to keep only the free nail edge cool and you have warm hands, you get some gradient like this.

Anyway you can play with the polish by cooling and warming your hands.

Amazing Emerald Holo

As I wrote on 4th of January, I was spending my holiday money buying Dance Legend. Actually the polishes are nor that cheap for Belarusian conditions. For interesting series like holos and other effect polishes the price was at least about 7.60 € (99000 BYR). For me it was a very good deal, because buying in internet would cost more and cause shipping fee. Moreover the manufacturer doesn't sell outside Russia directly.

One of my new favorites is the emerald green holographic from the collection "New Prism":

It's number 12 and named "Android". Imagine the android mascot robot in this shade!

This time my sister provided her nail space again for my exercises on decal technique.

The accent nail is painted with light green chrome by Artdeco. The stamping image comes from the big stamping plate Dashica SdP J. I coloured it just on stamper with some other polishes.

New Year's Eve

Belated New Year's Eve mani.
First of all: Happy New Year!

While on holidays I broke a ring finger nail very badly, so this time my little sister lent me her nails.
But on my holidays not only broken nails happened, I took the opportunity to buy the interesting polishes by Dance Legend, which are sold in Belarus in shops.

One of the first purchases was the "chameleon" polish, better known as duochrome. The base colour is deep blue and it turns purple at some angle of view (look at the point and middle fingers). It's the nuance 091 Boggs.

The white accent nail was done with Yves Rocher tiny "vial" of Blanc neige.
The images on all nails except the thumb are from Sugar Bubbles New Year and Christmas plates.

And the fireworks on the thumbs are stamped with Bunny Nails festive plate HD-E. I took different metallic polished for it, because the fireworks are usually colorful. :)

My sis is holding another polish by Dance Legend, I'll write about it later.

St. Patrick's Day

The St. Patrick's Day is today, and that means GREEN is the king!

I've got some fake O.P.I. Gargantuan Green Grape :( It's just another shade of light green as I've seen it in the shops. Cheap ebay-deal from Hongkong... It's still a good colour anyway.
So I used it for all my nails except the accent nail. For the latter one I used Catrice C05 Planet Tokyo (limited edition Neo Geisha - I don't know who created this series, but to tell the truth, I can't assosiate any of the offered colours with geishas, because they include very intense colours of violet, green and so on).And I really had to use my new plates from nailsways Spring collection.
Cute little shamrocks:

Then I thought it isn't enogh and added some glittering polish to the leaves and some white (and black) glitter to the base.
