Today's polish is W7116 Multi Dazzle, a little bit of bling for the weekend! To me it looks like a pretty close dupe of Happy Birthday by Deborah Lippmann / OPI Rainbow Collection / Milani Gems which for £1.99 you can't complain about. I do love a bargain dupe and this one arrived in my recent haul from Nail Polish Direct! And no, I'm not sponsored by them, honest. ;)
As you can see from the pictures application isn't great, this is 4 coats and you can see that it still isn't opaque all over, there are little bits of nail peeking through in places. Another issue is that by the time you get 4 coats of glitter on it's very hard to get anywhere close to a smooth finish.
I definitely think this polish would benefit from a base coat of nail polish in a complementary or contrasting colour, that way only 2 coats would give you a gorgeous glittery look without being too thick and patchy on the nail.
I don't think the coverage is anything to do with the brand, I have Milani Gems and have exactly the same issue with it, I think it's just something which is inherent with these types of heavy glitter polish.
Regardless of how it covers I do love this polish, it's bright and sparkly and ideal for a party or a night out, you can see why the Deborah Lippmann version is called happy Birthday!
This looks fab... good luck with the removal!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been using the Essence peel off basecoat, it's fab, they just pop off when you're ready to remove in in a whole sheet. I dread to think what it would have been like with regular removal! :D
DeleteBlimey this looks like scales, if it were more blue I'd say a mermaids tail. I wore a sparse scattering over white, just one layer. It drew loads of comments!
ReplyDeleteI want to try it over white next, then black, I think it'll look great on both.
DeleteCute! Glitterbomb! :)
