Hi lovelies!
Big exciting 3rd anniversary celebrations are happening at Powder Perfect today, and with it brings these two special shades to their Australian store, previously limited edition Color 4 Nails exclusives!
BEGUILING PRESENCE
A delicate muted rose holo with a hint of green flakes. The linear holo complements the dusky tone of the polish beautifully, and the green flakes lend an ethereal shimmer to the finish. I really struggled capturing the holo on camera (Cured by Chris has some lovely swatches here), but it truly lights up in the sunlight! I love the addition of the green flakes (again, very camera shy!) as it's a unique twist on this kind of feminine shade.
The formula was really lovely, I found it really easy to apply with a nice medium consistency. It's surprisingly opaque - I only needed two thin coats for full coverage. I finished it off with a coat of Lightning Lady* top coat.
BREATHLESS WHISPER
A taupe leaning grey crelly with lively iridescent pink and blue flakies. I adore these kind of shades, I've got a crush on all things grey and shimmery! There's a subtle lavender overlay that appears once on your nails that give it yet another dimension and sends me head over heels. I'm constantly wowed by the complexity of this polish.
I was impressed by the formula of this one too, it has a nice medium consistency and the heavy load of flakies caused no issues with application or finish. Easy to apply and remove - sparkles can sometimes be such a pain, but not here! I needed three coats for full opacity and used a thicker fast dry top coat to enhance the squishy crelly finish. This will dry satin/slightly matte so a glossy top coat is a must.
These two beauties are now available from Powder Perfect's Australian store. International customers can still purchase from Color 4 Nails.
Do you have a favourite of the two? I definitely fell hard for Breathless Whisper!
