Chick Wild Rooster

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I have another from Chick Nail Polish to show you today, a red creme called Wild Rooster.  I think red cremes are a good way to evaluate a line of polish since everybody has one and there's a good bit of variance in how pigmented they can be.  Wild Rooster is a great classic red, easy to apply and control and opaque in two coats. I finished it off with Essie Good to Go when I applied it last night, then took pictures this afternoon.

Chick Wild Rooster Nail Polish, Two Coats

I love a good red creme, and this one fits the bill.

That's Chick's Wild Rooster and the update for today, so until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

12 Days of Christmas Nails: Day 1

It's December! My countdown to Christmas has officially started and I'll be documenting it on my nails (of course!). It's my plan to post 12 Holiday themed manicures before Santa pays a visit . Apologies in advance if I don't manage to post 12 but I'll try my best!

I used A-England Galahad* as a base and sponged on Barry M Blue Glitter from the tips. I stamped the snowflake from Bundle Monster plate BM14 and finished it with a rhinestone and a top coat of NYC.

Rona Caribbean Blue pigment custom polish

I recently got some more frankening supplies from the Aussie supplier Beauty World.  Previously I have got some of the Rona Volcanic Sparks powders which I made into a top coat.  They also have two other Rona pigments.  Caribbean Blue and Volcanic Fire. 

Firstly here is Caribbean Blue, which again I made as a top coat.  This is two coats layered over black.

Remind you of anything?

Aqua blue shifting through to purple.

I really couldn't believe how much this one is almost a dead on dupe for the Models Own Aqua Violet.

Of course I did a quick comparison swatch.  From left to right: Index Caribbean Blue, Middle Models Own Aqua Violet, Ring Luna Blue top coat.

Same order, from left to right: Index Caribbean Blue, Middle Models Own Aqua Violet, Ring Luna Blue top coat.

Caribbean Blue and Models Own Aqua Violet are basically identical.  They are all in the same colour range, but Luna Blue pigment from TKB just has slightly larger particles.

I've got a few grams of this pigment, so I think I will do some mixing with tints to make an actual polish, not just a top coat.
