Happy Fancy Friday! Today I have an awesome polish that has been on my wish list since it came out, piCture pOlish Monroe. And Anna got it for me for my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Anna! I'm so excited. piCture pOlish is from Australia which makes it exotic and special.
piCture pOlish describes it as : a
classic HOLLYWOOD icon! Monroe is
a blood red holographic (linear) and has NO
glitter. Monroe is handmade with a
rich red pigment & contains a holographic shimmer for that extra
special touch and more rainbows of course!

| A little blurry to show the holo goodness |
 |
| This is a true color shot. And you can see the patchiness. |
 |
| I thought a full hand shot was a good idea to show the color. Then I saw how swollen my pointer is and now it's not such a good idea. Whatever. True color. |
 |
| Scattered holo |
 |
| Look at this polish! Blood red with rainbow holo glitter. What more do you want in life? |
|

| Love the piCture pOlish bottles |
I would call this more of a
scattered holo but it is blood red and contains no glitter and is
amazing. The formula, unfortunately is not amazing. But I will fight
through it for the polish awesomeness. It was super thick and the brush
has the longest, softest bristles I've ever seen. It was really hard to
work with and I couldn't get even coverage. I used 2 coats of Monroe and
A England's The Knight and The Shield as my base and top. I'm going to
give Monroe a second and third and fourth chance because I love the color so so
so so much BUT I had a chip an hour after I painted my nails. Then 3 more
when I woke up this morning. I'm going to try it with a different
base/top combo and report back. I'm not giving up on you, Monroe! You are too pretty.
piCture pOlish is available in the US at
Llarowe for $16 and on
piCture pOlish for international orders.
Happy Fancy Friday! If you've taken the time to look at our stash lists, let us know if you have any Fancy Friday requests. I hope you all have a great weekend. I'm running a half marathon on Sunday. I need to think of a good, inspiring mani to wear.
This color is so pretty! I probably wouldn't give it a 2nd glance if I just saw the bottle, but the color is very pretty! Good luck on Sunday! Maybe you should paint a finish line banner on your nails!
ReplyDeleteI brought this to a salon to have my nails done with it, and the manicurist actually took the brush out, put it to the side, and popped in an OPI brush to complete the job. At first I was horrified but when I tried to use it on my own, I can't say I blame her.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good idea! I bet it would have looked so much better if I used an OPI brush. The chipping made me so sad. I'm going to try and wrap my tips next time.
DeleteLovely! I like the rainbow shimmer!
