Flinty at Polish or Perish reviewed Adoree Galaxy Black #245 for her readers in October 2009.  Here's what she said "I really haven't ever been so disappointed in my camera (and my photography skills) as when I was taking photos of this polish. It's so glittery and attractive in person but it's hard to capture photo or video. In these photos, it looks like what it is: silver glitter in black jelly. IRL though, it sparkles like you would imagine a black glitter to sparkle. This was a NOTD and held up very well with Nubar Diamont: much less tipwear than I usually experience. Three coats in the photos".

"You gotta believe me, it looks like it should be made of black glitter."

Dusty carnation pink with green and gold glitters. Really beautiful and one of the more interesting pinks I've run across lately. Three coats pictured above. Beautifully sparkly in the sunlight. Reviewed by Flinty from Polish or Perish blog.

Have you ever purchased a glitter polish thinking it looked a little sheer... but that you might be able to get away with wearing three coats, only to discover that it's really sheer, as in six-coats-to-opacity-sheer and now you don't know what to do with it? I buy these sorts of polishes on purpose, and they're dead useful. I call them "sheer glitter toppers" and the following post will illustrate various ways in which you can use them.

I've yet to find a sheer glitter topper that doesn't look awesome layered over black. Almost all sheer glitters with large pieces of glitter in them will change color in the light, but it's something that's usually not visible until layered over a dark creme.

Pictured is one coat of black nail polish with one coat of Adorée's "Riding Hood" over. In the bottle, "Riding Hood" appears orange with golden glitter, but when applied over black it flashes orange to green which is really cool. You certainly aren't limited to black when applying toppers to get this effect, any dark creme will work. Last fall a lot of "nearly-blacks" were released, those sorts of colors will also work well to bring out the color-changing qualities in most sheer glitter toppers.

In addition to layering sheer glitter toppers over black or nearly-black cremes, you can layer them over other glitter polishes in order to create new combination glitters. By that I mean, the final result will show the two different glitter colors mixed and it will appear as if your polish was initially made up of more than one glitter color. (Doesn't it look like these two bottles had a little swatch baby?) If you get bored of the glitters you have, this is a simple and interesting way to make a "new" polish. Pictured above is two coats of Adorée's "Wild Inkberry" with one coat of Zoya's "Vegas Freeze" on top. Likewise, if you have a colored creme that you wish was a glitter, a sheer glitter topper will add shimmer to your polish without changing the creme color itself. Your base color will shine through while your sheer glitter topper adds a bit of interest.

Finally, my favorite way to wear sheer glitter toppers are as French manicure polishes. While a traditional nude-tinted French manicure polish always looks nice, using a sheer glitter topper instead can turn a plain French manicure into something more interesting and fun, especially if you replace your white tips with a bright creme. Pictured above is two coats of OPI's "I'm Indi-a Mood for Love" as tips with one coat of Adorée's "Ice Mist" over. Whether you layer them over black, use them to transform other polishes into a new glitter variant or use them as French manicure polishes, sheer glitter toppers are extremely useful polishes to have in your collection.

This is a continuation from previous article "Pinks from Adoree Nail Polish #1". I'd like to present another set of 4 pinks from Adoree collection. These nail polishes are available at Esther's Nail Center.

From left to right: Adoree #143 Hot Lips - Just like it's name this color is a hot pink with blue tone iridescent finish. More to satin look than glossy. It's a vibrant color that would really show on nails. Adoree #164 Rose Freeze - A perfect name for this pink since it hold a bit glitters in it. When applied on nail, it'll show only subtle glitters.  A shimmer pastel pink. Because of the glitter characteristic, it may need some layers for even finish. Adoree #212 Begonia -  I love this medium, dusty rose pink. It comes to a shimmer, almost metallic finish. Adoree #213 Ribbon Pink - This is like the color of pale pink ribbon with subtle green iridescent look.  A very pale pink, similar to natural pink French Manicure. Love pink? Couldn't get enough?  Then wait for the next post of the other 4 pink shades.

Ok, another post of 4 Pinks from Adoree Nail Polish collection. This is a continuation from previous article “Pinks from Adoree Nail Polish #2″.   These nail polishes are available at Esther’s Nail Center.

From left to right: Adoree Country Pink #142 - A sheer pale pinks with gold iridescent tone. Show subtle pink on the nails. Also great for layering. Adoree Deep Carnation #211 - Pretty, bright pink in creme. Great for summer also. Glossy. Adoree Pink Fashion #178 - This  hot pink in creme will surely brighten up your day. It has more red to it than Adoree #211. Glossy. Adoree Wild Lilac #199 - A light pink with shimmer, almost to chrome finish. I like this color. It's delicate, sweet pink but shimmery enough to get attention. The color on the picture show the bluish tone but not on the application. Ok, I hope these posts are a great opening for many more pinks to come. Happy spring!
