Layering Fun

As I promised you in the last post, I've layered Hottie with 2 awesome polishes that I got from Ange from Scandalously Polished (thanks again :D).
I used Pure Ice Heart Breaker and CND Sapphire Sparkle from their effects-series. Sapphire Sparkle was only layered over my ringfinger and I added a little fimo star fruit to give it a little twist :) The swatches show two coats each of the layering polish. Somehow my camera is a bit overhelmed by the magnificance of this polish-combo that it didn't show the duo/quadro-chrome effect of my ring finger (from the "Scrangie blue to a magenta to the Hottie purple).

Essence - Hottie

Hey there :)

Today I want to show you an older Essence polish which, sadly is discontinued (if I knew that, I would've bought a few to have a backup and to give some to you ;) ).
It is a middle toned puple with a silver foil finish/silver shimmer. And of course, my camera failed at capturing the true beauty of this shade (and my photoshop skills aren't that good to correct it, if you want to give me a/some lessons, drop me a line ;) )
 I tinted the pic to make it more color-accurate, my hands aren't that red-ish in person ;)
Edit: I forgot to mention that these are 2 coats, 3 on some fingers to smooth out the bald spots.

Stay tuned for part 2 of this manicure with layering experiments :)
