OPI Alcatraz...Rocks Swatch and Review

Hi again everyone! Today I have another stunning textured polish, this one from OPI's F/W 2013 line, San Fransisco. Yes, it is the uber gorgeous Alcatraz... Rocks.

For these swatches I used 2 coats of OPI Alcatraz Rocks over a peel-off basecoat.

 See that sparkle? I fell in love at the first swatch <3.

I tried using Alcatraz...Rocks over a normal base coat, and upon removal, I found that even after with foil technique, there were still traces of gold /champagne sparkle on my nails. Nothing a swipe of cotton pad soaked with acetone couldn't fix, though.

 

 And with top coat, just look at that holographic sparkle!

A macro shot of my thumb. You can see the golds/champagne particles I mentioned earlier.

I bought this polish from Mrs. Lilis, for IDR95.000,-

What do you think? Are you digging the textured polish trend? I absolutely love shimmer textures!

Zoya Pixiedust Carter Swatch and Review

Hey guys! I'm starting to dedicate more time for this blog because I actually enjoy blogging a lot! ;)

Today I have my newest obsession, which is textured polish. Not just any textured polish, but the special PixieDust that everyone talks about :D

From Zoya's newest Fall/Winter line, I bought one, which is Carter, a gorgeous royal purple with fuchsia glitters. one word: AMAZING!!

For these swatches I used 2 coats of Zoya Carter over The Face Shop's Peel Off Basecoat :)

See dat texture? GORGEOUSSS!!

Zoya itself is a 5-free brand, making it safe for pregnant ladies to use :)

with topcoat

Formula-wise, I find myself loving the brush and the formula is pretty good, not so goopy like OPI's Mariah Carey minis.

 

 

 

 

 

sorry it's blurry :(

I bought these from Mrs. Lilis, if you want to contact her you can message me or just comment below :)

I'm so sad because with dollar rates rising up, the prices on nail polish also got an additional tax price. Zoyas on Mrs. Lilis's shop is usually 90.000, but because of the dollar rates, I had to pay 95.000 + shipping fee :(

Anyway, do you have any Zoya PixieDust? Do you like it? Comment below ;)
