Penelope Luz - Belly Dance and Modern Art

Press Sample

         Hey, babes! Sorry for the lack of posts. First, I was busy with work and dealing with a sick boyfriend. Then, I got a cold. I've been in bed for the past few days. With naked nails! I know, I know. I actually did my nails for tomorrow's nail art challenge and I can't wait to share them. I was clearing out pictures on my laptop when I came across these two Penelope Luz polishes. I can't believe I forgot them!

         Penelope Luz is a 3 free Brazilian indie polish. I've been eying up a few of her polishes, but never bought them because they weren't readily available in the US. Until now! Color4Nails makes indie shopping so much easier.

Check out all the good stuff under the cut...

One coat of Rejuvacote was used as a base.

     Great application! There's so much glitter for just one coat. It was even and easy to work with. Dry time was typical for a glitter, and one coat of SV glossed it over perfectly.

      The gold over the red-orange adds a nice sparkle, but those jewel toned glitter really pop. I really liked this combination until I layered it over black. Get ready for this one!

      WOW. I wish I could show off how amazing this was in real life. It's phenomenal. This is the first gold based polish that I've ever fell in love with. EVER.

      BAM. Amazing, right? That's what I thought. Speechless.

two coats over Zoya Dove

one coat Seche Vite

      Pretty good formula, but it took two coats for a really nice glitter payoff. One coat didn't have the oomph I was looking for. The dry time was good, and one coat of SV was perfect.

      I really love the look of this over a light gray. You can see all the different glitters without them competing with the base color.

      The black glitter gets a bit lost over this dark teal base. The blue glitter really shines, though.

      Which base do you like better for this glitter topper? I think I'm leaning towards the gray.
