So a company called Nail de Royale was kind enough to send me a few of their products for me to review :) They are a nail supply company based in California, and they sell anything you would need for your nails including China Glaze, Essie, Nubar polishes, Swavorski crystals, cuticle oil, UV lamps, etc! Here's what they sent me:
(L-R) La Rosa Crackle Shatter Polish in Feeling Blue? and Omega Labs Nail Art Striper Brush (no color listed, but it's dark red) |
(L-R) Truth of Isis Solid Star glitters in Sunset and Spring Desire Star |
Enlarge this one, it's a closeup :) |
So, I used the two Isis glitters in a manicure on top of Essie's Sand Tropez. These glitters are really easy to place one my one on the nail, and would also make great frankens (say, in a jelly polish :) They also are of a good size, they weren't too big for my nails. I really recommend these for nail art since they're so easy to manoeuvre. I'd like to try a gradient with these :P
I didn't put top coat so you could clearly see the width/size of the glitters, but of course you would put top coat on :) |
As always with crackle polishes, you can apply it thin. thick, diagonally, horizontally, etc to get different effects. This polish 'cracked' quickly and dried to a matte finish. I think the color and finish of this polish would look lovely any way you applied it. Just look at that bright, almost neon blue!
The nail art striper was a rich dark red, perfect for some fall nail art. As I demonstrated on my pinky, you can really vary the width of the lines you paint, depending on pressure. The brush of the striper is thin and good for details, and the nail polish itself is not watery at all, but very pigmented and would show up on a range of polishes. I was really happy with this striper :)
I'll definirely check out Nail de Royale in the future, since I really liked the products they sent me, and they may have sold me on this (long past) crackle trend haha.
Tell me what you think about my review! I always want to know :D Thanks for reading :)
