Mojito Flowers – Soul Sista Week

 

The base color is Essence 05 Mojito Green from the Soul Sista Collection. It’s a one-coater and a gorgeous teal green, more green than on the photos. As I have done with all the other manis in this collection I sponged random areas with other colors from the collection, and in this mani I chose 04 Totally Retro Nude and 01 Chilled Orange. Then I painted the flowers with acrylic color and top coated with Seche Vite.

Grundfarven er Essence 05 Mojito Green fra Soul Sista kollektionen. Det er en etlags smuk turkisgrøn, ser mest blå ud her, men er faktisk mest grøn. Som jeg har gjort ved de andre manicurer fra samme kollektion, har jeg duppet tilfældige områder med en af de andre 4 farver, i dette tilfælde valgte jeg både 04 Totally Retro Nude og 01 Chilled Orange. Derefter malede jeg blomsterne med akrylfarve og top coatede med Seche Vite.

Soul Sista has 5 colors, see the coll. HERE (scroll on arrow to the polishes), and I bought them all.

All of them has a good opacity (some one-coaters) and they dry quickly and are easy to apply.

05 Mojito Green is a turquoise green (greener than on photos) with a very light golden shimmer. The finish is silky, neither shiny nor matte.

01 Chilled Orange is an orange/warm yellow cream, leaning towards a silky finish.

04 Totally Retro Nude is a warm-toned sand beige with a touch of brown and a light shimmer. Normal finish.

02 James’s Favorite Brown is a warm-toned chocolate brown with shimmer, almost leaning towards metallic.

03 Lounge Chair Affair is a coral/salmon (less red than on the photos) with golden shimmer and an almost matte finish. 

One Kiwi a Day + Banana Joe

 

From the Fruity Collection, see more HERE (scroll on arrow to the  nail polish),  I only bought two, and now afterwards I don’t understand why…

One Kiwi a day is a pale yellow-toned green with light green glitter in just the right amount, a one coater, and it dies fairly shiny and quick. 

Banana Joe is a sheer very, very pale yellow with subtle shimmer, and it looks like it’s prone to brush strokes, 2-3 coats would be OK. Dries quick with a normal shiny finish.

04 Rebelizer + 03 Peach Punk

04 Rebelizer + 03 Peach Punk

From the Rebels Collection, see more HERE ( use arrow to find the polishes) I bought 2 og the 4, the neons. They are easy to apply, dries quickly with a semi-matte finish "with a latex effect" - not sure  what that is though. They both have subtle shimmer, actually I think all 4 had..
04 Rebelizer is a  apple-lime kind of yellow-green color, difficult to describe
03 Peach Punk is a coral-peach-salmon kind of color
