Ready for a Rubber look Nail Finish

Have you tried Illamasqua polishes which give for nails a textured matte rubbery look? You can apply a gloss finish if you like, this can give the colours more intensity but then looks like normal polish.

This polish remover is very quick! It takes off all types of polish in an instant. The only drawback is it has a really strong odor. All polish remover has a smell, but this one is intense. I have to flush the cotton balls or the whole bathroom will smell like paint thinner and give me a headache.

I got this to do velvet nails that I have seen at Sephora and I loved this cheaper version. It works just as well as the expensive stuff and you get much more… many colors for a fraction of the cost of Ciaté.

These Caviar Nails look great, however not practical for me while I’m working. And also for mums with your children… I wouldn’t want any beads coming off & going into little mouths… however they are a stunning look for the holidays

Color Changing Polish – Is it worth it?

One of the best things that I like about Amazon is the reviews. Many shoppers love helping others out, whether it be to advise on how good a product is, or how bad, how  the product lived up to the  customers expectations, would they buy it again, or  not.

After finding an article on colour changing polish I thought I would give it a go, so I’ve been searching on Amazon.

One brand I found had bad reviews so I kept on searching. The reviews on this product from Del Sol weren’t wonderful, but good enough.  As some the polishes viewed required a change in body or air temperature I think that any issues with the colours not changing drastically may be due to other factors and not just the polish.  At least this one states that the colour changes due to sun(light).

I would love to hear of your experiences with polish that changes colour.
