F4 Polish Ice Cold

F4 Polish Ice Cold

I was going to wear ManGlaze ILF alone but we just did not get along. I found the formula to be runny and sheer. I needed four coats for it to be even and opaque but the most annoying part was that it wouldn't dry. After about an hour I could still easily dent it and three hours later I lost a bit of the polish by the tip of the nail. You can see the middle finger in the photos below with the chipping. Grrr! I didn't have a lot of time to change so I just added some glitter. Glitter makes everything a bit better. I reached for F4 Polish in Ice Cold. 

I'm happy with the F4 Polish but not with ManGlaze which is a pity because ILF is a lovely color. I've decided after buying and using a few ManGlaze polishes that I am just not impressed with them. Ah well, there are lots of other brands to try!

F4 Polish Shellie

I really need to stay off Etsy but there is so many polishes to discover! My new crush is with matte glitter. I'm enjoying the glitter without the shine. It reminds me of paper confetti sprinkled on the nail. Shellie from F4 Polish has pink, purple and white matte glitters in various sizes. I got a number of compliments on this polish and a few - "That's nail polish?!" comments. It was amusing. 

This is one coat of Shellie over OPI Care to Danse. I dabbled because I wanted a denser coating compared to brushing it on. I also needed two coats of topcoat to get a smooth feeling. It's not a topcoat drinker but it does dry with texture and some of the larger pieces didn't lay completely flat.
