Hello, readers! It's the weekend! I hope you have all been having a good weekend so far. I spent the day with my husband yesterday visiting some good friends of mine from residency at a baby shower. It was great to catch up, see old faces. And now, with most of us being parents or (like me) would be parents, baby/parenting talk has become way more interesting!!!
Ok, so this post is going to show you the last two colors that I picked up from the L.A. Girls 3D Effects collection. The first one here is called Dazzling pink. Now, I just could not get my camera to pick up the pink color of the polish without making it all orange! It was aggravating. I think I did learn a new feature on my camera after I swatched this polish though, so maybe from now on, I'll be able to more accurately white balance my pictures. Just as a reference, I added some phone pictures on the bottom of the post because I think that does a better job of showing the true color. The swatches of this color are with two coats, no topcoat.
The next color is Sparkle Ruby. This is the only swatch in which I used one coat. Yes, this is one coat! I was so amazed by how much a coat covered that I just didn't bother putting a second coat on. You could get more sparkles by putting a second coat on, probably.
Now I'm going to show you the gradient I did with these colors. I took these pictures outside in weak sunlight (that's all I had). You can see that the pink is definitely more pink in natural light.
Edit: I'm adding links to the other swatch posts so you can easily click from one part of the collection to another:
3D Silver and Black Illusion
Brilliant Blue and Teal Dimension
Purple Effect
