CND VINYLUX Gilded Dreams for Holiday 2014

CND's most modern launch is their Gilded desires collection, a trio of 3 excursion-suitable shades that are described as "Marie Antoinette meets Cinderella." My swatches show the VINYLUX sun shades, a gel-lacquer hybrid machine (together with topcoat) that says week-lengthy chip loose put on. the vacation launch also consists of matching Shellac shades, as well as additives and new vacation Scentsations creams.

Chiffon Twirl is without problems my favorite of the trio! This rose gold foil is so holiday. I used two coats, and even though it went on with a few brushstrokes, they all but disappeared as the polish dried down. finished with the VINYLUX pinnacle coat.

Dazzling Dance is a blue-tinted sheer base with red shimmer and small silver flickers. In my first swatch, I layered it over CND Vinylux Svelte Suede, which created this without a doubt first-rate "diffused with a kick" mani that honestly simply grew on me. Karen at beauty Geeks also attempted layering it over black, which seems appropriate, too.

Here it is at three coats alone. Not so appealing.

Grand Gala is a gold with a bit of a red shift. it's nevertheless really sheer at 3 coats, and by myself, it has an older feel to it. i might like to try this one with some nail artwork over it. Like superb Dance, it is going on with some brushstrokes but they fade away because the polish dries down.

a couple of notes about the VINYLUX topcoat: though it dries pretty quick, it isn't as rapid as a short dry topcoat. in case you are used to those, make sure to give this nail trimming a chunk of more time to dry earlier than you pass about your day. as soon as it dries, this topcoat gives a tough, shielding end that only improves with publicity to natural mild. For the week long chip loose wear, you need to apply the machine.

• I additionally tried out the Scentsations Gilded dreams lotion trio! i am OB.SESSED. with the CND Scentsations lotion in Birch & Mint so i used to be keen to see how I preferred those.
• Gilded Blossom is my preferred of the scents. it's far scented with inexperienced apple, lemon, bergamot, and musk. It has a smooth gold shimmer in it.
• overwhelmed Amber is scented with grapefruit, lemon, jasmine, vanilla, and praline. It become likely my least favourite of the scents. In my notes, I wrote "sharp yet warm, wintry." I did not notice any visible shimmer on this one.
• Vanilla Shimmer is a CND traditional, scented like vanilla (you guessed it)! It has a silver/pearlescent sparkle to it. It isn't always diffused. you'll be blinging all day!
