Dance Legend #170 Thermo

What is in common between

                               this polish...                                                               and this polish?

Well, a lot, since it's ONE polish - Dance Legend #170
As you could guess, it's one of those supercreative inventions - a polish that changes colour depending on the temperature. I absolutely love this type of polishes, and in case of Dance Legend #170, I also love the drastic change and the colour range - from red to dark aubergine.

So, when the hands are warm, the shade looks like this:

And when the hands are cold, it becomes like this:

But the most fun are the colour transitions!

And my favourite state is when the nail tips are dark, and the rest is red. Looks like a fancy gradient.

The formula of the polish is tricky though. The polish is goopy and  you have to take care of layering it without bald spots. But the biggest draw is the brush: too thick and harsh for my taste, it just doesn't allow to draw a nice cuticle line. The finish is somewhat satin, which I don't really like, so you'll need a top coat for the gloss - but hey, for this kind of special polish I'm ready to tolerate whatever tricks to layer it properly : ) On all photos you see 2 coats of polish + top coat.

Despite the speciality and the original beauty of the polish, I decided to go further and stamped in with dark aubergine colour Yes Love #504 and Cheeky Plates CH44.

Dance Legend #170 is definitely one of the most "interactive" polishes in my stash, and by far the favourite one of my bf, who couldn't stop playing with the colour change : )
Special thanks to Antallex for sending me this beauty : )

Paisley

Second time I am trying out my Bundle Monster plates. The positive impression only becomes more positive! Seriously, even the designes with fine details stamp very well. Such as this paisley pattern on BM-315, or as I normally call it - "cucumbaaa" : )

And just to be precise, the base colour you see is NOT black. Yes Love #504 is a dark dark dark aubergine shade, which - to my big surprise dried matte! Like this:

Then I looked at it for some minutes, and generously poured with top coat. I think I like it better this way :)

And finally, it's my first and only shade which is black_but _not_really_black.. Myself I wouldn't probably buy it. But lovely Akuma Kanji sent it to me as an extra in our swap, and I'm really greatful for her choice, because all in all I liked how it looks on me - also nice on toes in winter :)
