F4 Polish- Who-ville over NARS- 15 Minutes

Here is F4 Polish-Who-Ville layered over NARS- 15 Minutes. This combo kind of reminds me of egg nog! Perfect for the holidays.

Who-Ville was recently released as part of the F4 Holiday collection. It is filled with small pieces of yellow-green matte and red matte hex glitter and some larger red matte hexes.

The glitter was very concentrated and I only used one coat via the dabbing method because I didn't want to cover 15 Minutes too much. 

I took a couple pictures of NARS- 15 Minutes because 1 it looks so nice and shiny, 2 the yellow looks different at various angles, and 3 it's a higher end polish, so I figured I'd get my money's worth by sharing with everyone! 

15 minutes is a pastel yellow creme. It was released in the recent Andy Warhol holiday collection. It reminds me of the Andy Warhol banana piece. 

Application on the first coat was streaky, but the second coat smoothed that out. NARS retails for $18 and can be found at Sephora. I don't own many yellows in my stash, and I enjoyed this one!

Purple Colorphase

 

I decided to experiment with some color changing polish. This brand is called Colorphase and I found it at Rite Aid. It is in a double-ended bottle, with a purple foil-type shade on one end, and topcoat and a striping brush in the other end. The light purple shade is applied first and then it changes to a darker purple when the topcoat is applied.

Here it is in a different lighting. This really didn't take that long to do. It had a really neat effect! 

Here's the light purple on it's own in artificial lighting without the flash. This needed two coats and it had a pretty good formula.

Artificial lighting without the flash

One downside to this is that you can't use any topcoat, or else the entire color will become solid. I was under the initial impression that the topcoat it came with was the only one that activated the color change and I went to use Seche Vite after the mani was done. I had to redo it because the effect went away. I am too dependent on fast-dry top coat, and the mani dented a little bit. It didn't last long at all because I couldn't use topcoat.
