I'm totally late to the party on this one. I think practically everyone here has this polish. But I love it! So glad I added it to my last pre no-buy order. Chromes are my favourite finish and aqua-blue is a very frequent colour in my wardrobe, so this fits right in.
The only issue I have with chromes is that they're such a bugger to clean up - I end up with sparkly bits everywhere. There are a few ridgey bits evident in these pictures, but that's my own fault. My favourite way to apply chromes is to sandwich them with a coat of seche vite, which makes them really smooth (base, two coats polish, SV, polish, SV) and gives amazing wear time - my butter london fairy lights mani (a pink chrome) lasted 9 days with no chips. This one was more like 3 days, but then it's only two coats between lumos base and top coat (neither of which are that great, in my opinion).
Awesome color!!
ReplyDeleteI love it too!
From this collection I own mllennium and passion, but this one will be mine, one day! I use them esepcially for stamping, because I find a bit hard to applying them alone, but it's stunning and always I try anyway! ;D
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I've got to get some of these. I also clicked the link the the Butter London post, and I think I love that one even more.
ReplyDeleteWow! i think is time for me to get this and Millenium! they look amazing, and since i don't have any chrome, i have plenty of excuses to get two more polishes..
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Metalics are big with me too - however some are so touchy, thinner, yet some getting better on lack of brush strokes. Yours here sure is not showing the tell-tale brush strokes. It was a long leap from years of frost to make it to metallic formulation. So glad no one gave up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love chromes too but my ridges always get in the way, so I appreciate your tip about smoothing them out. :)
ReplyDeleteamazing! like an aluminium look!
ReplyDeletestunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous polish!
ReplyDeleteI also love chrome finishes. Your nails look gorgeous. I haven't worn my chromes in a long time. My nails are just too short. Good idea about the Seche Vite sandwich! I'll have to remember that. Which would be a miracle since I have a terrible memory. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeletelove it! :)
ReplyDeletewow that is amazing!
ReplyDeleteSeems there's a lot of love for this! :D I completely agree with you all, it's a fab colour. I'm so glad they released this collection but gutted that it's d/ced now, I still have to lay my paws on millennium!
