I got this last week in a sale, it’s a brand called Lumene and the colour is called night party, a brown shimmer with flakies. Initially the bottle made me so excited that I simply had to have it (I mean FLAKIESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!111!!!!oneoneone), but the initial application when I got home made me all sad. The brown was too pigmented (and not jelly enough) to show through the awesome sparklies. Dispondant at it being a bit rubbish, I put it away and growled a little.
Having only a quite small collection, and fancying a change I dragged it out today to swatch, and I must say I’m actually liking it. Though by gum it’s a hard colour to photograph (perhaps even more so when it’s raining!)
This is three coats, though it could take two I think. The flakies are diffused throughout the nail, although the shimmer tends to catch the light more in a lot of cases.
Just look at the bottle, is it hard to see why I got excited?
Though on the nail with a few layers it does look kinda nice…
There are flakies scattered through out, though the camera tends to only catch them away from the main light source.
Overall I can see myself wearing this a lot in the autumn, and perhaps with another layer of flakies on top, haha!
