Rockjewel feels energized with Glitter Gal High Voltage

What's not to like with this nail polish? It is lilac and purple, it sparkles, it does not have large glitter flakes. However it was at first not among those I chose from a blogsale, but after thinking about it for a while I added it anyway. No regrets there, it is a lovely polish.

The formula is good, first coat a bit uneven but second coats smooths it all out and gives a nice finish. The holo-particles are large and scattered which gives a beautiful depth and fantastic sparkle. It is truly stunning in the sun, showing flashes of not only lilac and purple hues but also light blue, pink, peach and turquoise. And even better is that it glitters like a glitter flakes polish but is really easy to remove. 

There are lots and lots of beautiful Glitter Gal polishes. I have Brain Freeze and Belgian Chocolate already and I will most certainly get some more of the brighter Glitter Gals in the future.

Rockjewel reveals favorite flower

A quick blog post. 
This will be this Sunday's contribution to the weekly challenge in the FB-group Adventures in Stamping. The theme this Sunday is Favorite Flower. 
I love the Aquilegia because it's many varieties and willingness to "mutate" into new variants without any human involvement. However, my absolute favorite flower is the rose. Preferably a long-stemmed, deep dark, blood-red rose.

I used yesterday's mani as base, Glitter Gal Belgian Chocolate. I tested a (to me) new stamping polish from Mentality: Dapper. Really good quality, will probably buy some more of the Mentality Stampers in the future.
The plate is MessyMansion 07. Also excellent quality. I will most certainly buy more from MM too.

The result:

Rockjewel + Glitter Gal Belgian Chocolate = True!

There is a first time for everything. In this case it is the first time I swatch a Glitter Gal polish. I own both Brain Freeze and the subject for this post: Belgian Chocolate, but haven't tried them out yet. Brain Freeze will have to wait until later.
I've wanted a dark brown holo for some time now so when Edgy Polish had a Christmas sale I took the chance to order this. I do have another dark brown holo on it's way, but I think that one is darker than this. 

I was pleasantly surprised by this deep, dark chocolate colour with flashes of blue and rusty red. The holo effect is extreme, and seems to be visible in all kinds of lights. 
Belgian Chocolate lives up to what other swatch photos promised, and that is not always the case with nail polishes... 
I was also very happy with the formula, two coats and it looks really good! I suspect though that you might need three coats on longer nails, the first coat is a little bit patchy.

This polish makes me want more from Glitter Gal! Good to know that the quality is great :-)
