Etude House Petit Darling Nails HD Beam PP904 Mystic Purple

This manicure is Etude House Petit Darling Nails HD Beam PP904 Mystic Purple.

Etude House is a Korean brand that is not distributed in the US (as far as I know). I got this polish on eBay.

Layering Summer Fun!

It's been forever. I've been taking a nailpolish wearing vacation and I think I'm back now. This mani is two coats of Etude House Bling Bling RD0101, which is a gorgeous golden red jelly layered with glitter. Over that is one coat of Barielle Elle's Spell (a sheer dark red jelly suspended with multicolored flakies). Then one coat of Seche Vite. That's right. Even though it makes clean up a pain, I'm back on the Seche Vite horse. I hope everyone enjoys their upcoming 4th of July holiday.

Etude House WH004

Today's manicure is Etude House WH004. Etude House is a (very cute) Korean brand of cosmetics. For a time their polishes were available from etudehouseusa.com, ostensibly the brand's US distribution arm, but the site was actually unaffiliated with the brand and was shut down due to copyright infringement. This information is gathered from the internet, so take it with a grain of salt. For the time it was active, polishes were often massively backordered. These polishes can be ordered from eBay, and likely other webstores.
This polish is a vampy black with blurpley teal duochrome macroshimmer particles. It's tough to catch the shimmer without a strong light source, but it is lovely when viewed in sunshine.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual bc, one coat CND Stickey, two coats of varnish, and one coat of Out the Door tc.
These pictures were all taken indoors using artificial lighting.
