I have just a few more swatches to share with you all from weekend of nail painting. You all might remember my Dollar Tree find from a month or two ago, where I found Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Night Lights. It was the one that sorta looked like a My Private Jet dupe - sorta. When I did a swatch of it then, it was very sheer - bummer man! So I thought I might try it over a silver base and see what it looked like. I used Sally Hansen Salon - Sterling. This is another SH Salon that didn't disappoint. No application issues and it only took two coats.
Not a bad silver polish, eh? Next came the real test, would SH Xtreme Wear - Night Lights look good over this? I applied two coats of Night Lights over Sterling.
Left blurry to show the (or lack there of, at least on my nails) holo glittery-ness.
Again, I am underwhelmed with Night Lights. Is it just me? Am I just expecting this polish to be more than it is? Was silver the wrong base color to use with this?I think the only thing left for me to do with this is to franken Night Lights into what it SHOULD be! Any tips/ideas/comments on what you all should think I should franken Night Lights with, please let me know in the comments section :)
That Sterling is a great silver polish, but Night Lights isn't anything special. I'm sure you will franken it into some thing fantabulous!
ReplyDeleteI like the way Night Lights look.
ReplyDeleteBut yea you're right. Maybe use a darker base color.
THE PBG - I'm going to give it my best shot!
ReplyDeleteRAI - Night Lights is way to sheer for my tastes. I'm hoping to be able to work a little magic tonight.
That silver polish is great looking. Night Lights is okay. Sort of reminds me of OPI's polish from Christmas.
