I do wish they would come up with names for these polishes! Nail polishes with names are memorable. Nail polishes with numbers are not only confusing, but they give the impression of being unremarkable.

But of course, it wouldn’t be fair to judge a nail polish by its number! Look at these two glitter polishes I have here from HEMA, a Dutch departmental store: err.....No. 05 (red) and No. 06 (purple). Each of them looks good on its own (well, it is glitter!) but just for the fun of it, I combined the two.

L-R: HEMA Nailpolishes No. 06 and No. 05, Essence Nail Art Tip Painter: Purple Boost
On the entire nail, I put on two coats of No. 06 (purple) but as you can see, with only two coats on, it’s just lilac. Then No. 05 (red) was polished on diagonally on the tip half of the nail. For this, I did three coats. Then, I used a purple Essence Nail Art Tip Painter to draw a line at the border between the two shades. I finished it off with a very glossy top coat from Arcancil.
That’s it! A simple two-toned look with a pair of unremarkably numbered glitter polishes!

@Rebie
Hi, Rebie. Thanks for the info. If they do have names, it would certainly be useful to have the names on the bottle. I, for one, don't keep the receipts! :D

I'm not a big fan of glittery nails, but there are exceptions and I like your design!
ReplyDelete@Naoko
ReplyDeleteThanks, Naoko. I'm not a big fan either, but these two, although glitters, don't look OTT to me. Nothing garish, just simple and sweet. :)
I love that mani! So pretty! xx
