Essense - Midnight Rocker

Here I have another combination of nail polish and holographic top coat, looks very cosmic, I believe.)
The polish is Essense "Midnight Rocker", dark blue creme, almost black. It's not bright like China Glaze's Calypso Blue, this one is less saturated, dusty and muted version of blue. That's why I like it a lot. Two coats are good and opaque. Sorry that I don't have the image of it without top coat, I'll add it later, because I think I'll definitely use it again.
The top coat is, again, Northern Lights by INM, can't remember if it's golden or silver.. They both look fabulous on dark polishes like this, like a night sky.

Rimmel Urban Purple

I guess I'll start by showing some polishes I like, or, at least, those which are worth photographing :D

This pretty pinkish red polish is by Rimmel, from their Lycra Pro series. The color is a little different in the bottle, it doesn't seem purple to me, it's more pink and raspberry, leaning towards red, but not too bright and vivid (as China Glaze Ahoy! is).

Rimmel Lycra Pro polishes have a nice wide brush that reminds me of OPI's (as it's also flat and quite wide), so it allows you to apply it almost mistake-free, even if you have little experience with painting your nails. The formula is also good, I usually use 1-2 coats for full coverage.

Here I spiced it up a little with INM Out The Door Northern Lights top coat, the golden one, which has tiny holographic golden sparkles. Nice, isn't it?
