After getting overly dazzled by KOH Metallic Red last week, I felt I should rekindle my love for one of my two favourite nail colours this time. Perhaps that's guilt talking.
My lovely friend, The Diva's Polish, sent me this all the way from Australia. Thank you, my dear! Actually, she sent me much more than just this polish, so there will be more features to come.
This is my first brush with a Sportsgirl product and I'm loving it! Purple Rain, a deep purple/violet polish with very fine shimmers, applied really well. Opacity is possible with one coat, but I did two anyway. I believe it's 3-free and I must say it's a pretty hardy polish. I've had it on for a couple of days and it's still looking good. Err, no top coat, as usual!

Haha, I think if we like purple, then any purple polish would make us go weak at the knees. :D
@liquoredonlacquer
Yay to purples! :)

@C.
So far, I haven't faced any staining problems with my dark polishes. Yes, I always use a base coat. I have a few from different brands, eg: Essence, SpaRitual, which I use alternately. :)
@Paulina
Heh heh! Me too. :D
LOVE this one, amazing purple color (almost a blurple, right ?) !
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that colour is GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteNot only is this purple gorgeous, but the bottle looks cool as well. love the color!
ReplyDelete@Mademoiselle C.
ReplyDeleteHi! Yes, you're quite right. Well, sometimes, it looks more blue on the nails than in the bottle. :)
@Natalie
I'm pleased! I think you should show this to your sister. :D
@Mz. More
I totally agree. The bottle looks so sleek, doesn't it? :)
Even though purple isn't usually my colour, I like this nailpolish :) Thanks for the swatches! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous shade of purple, so rich and pigmented.
ReplyDelete@Liesewiesje

@MadammeM
Hi, MadammeM! Thanks for your kind words. As for the nails, I don't really do anything special and I have my bad nail days too! I do, however, rub in cuticle oil/cream on the nails and cuticles on alternate days. I think that helps. :)
I've been missing in action :( so sorry... I knew this shade would look stunning on you and it certainly does! :) I love it! Thank you so much for the link ;) and I am glad you like Purple Rain xxx
ReplyDelete@The Diva's Polish
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear from you! This polish is really something. Not only is the colour awesome, but I'm very impressed with its durability too! Thank you so much, my dear. I love the colours that you chose for me. [hugs] :)
