Blog Fest 2012 by piCture pOlish : Dorothy & Illusion , Review & Swatches

Hi girls , Today we are celeberating blog fest 2012 by piCture pOlish . Last year i was given a chance to swatch shade Tango ( post here ) . It was a fun filled activity. This year i was given a chance to swatch two of their new shades Dorothy and Illusion. 

Dorothy is a new addition to their mesh collection, Created for the land of Oz , and i believe it is the most unique and flattering shade so far inspired by the Dorothy.

I just love it so much. It reminds me of a newly wed bride or a beautiful decorated christmas tree. It is such an happy and festive shade. It is a cherry red color filled with lots of silver glitter particles . The glitter particles are so dense that i just need to apply two coats for full coverage. It feels a bit gritty when dried . but a top shine coat would help to make it smoother. Here i applied two coats of dorothy without any top coat, just to give you true picture. Isnt it beautiful itself ?

Its drying time is a bit longer than my usual glitter shades. but i am happy with it because all good things take a bit longer to do !!

Like all other glitter polishes , it is really hard to remove it too. You have to rub really hard or use the foil method to completely remove it . Otherwise it will create a big mess.

Mirage is a part of their Bloggers Collaborations and it was created with Sara Hassan of Sarahassan's blog . The moment i saw this nail color , my heart filled with great pride and love as Sara belongs to Pakistan and i adore her as my mentor in blogosphere..

Mirage is such a unique shade . its a duochrome shade which looks different in different lighting conditions. I have applied Picture Polish's Marine color as a base coat. as it is recommended to apply a darker color base coat first. It looks teal from certain angle which changes into steal and then plum in certain areas. You can experiment alot with this nail color by applying different base coats. It is very pretty and unique, you should trust me on this.

The consistency of Mirage is sheerer to other nail colors. That is why it is easily layered over another nail color. I love the way it looks on my nails under sun light.

Both nails colors lasts on my nails for good 3-4 days without any chip off, which is really impressive. However , i observed that the lasting time of Mirage is lesser than Dorothy.

You can buy Mirage from HERE for $11.50
