Raggio di Luna Nails: May 2013

“Colour and Change” is a new nail polish line of Essence, with them you can “create magic looks within seconds!” :-)

To create this effect you need to follow 3 simple steps.

Step 1: apply your base coat.

Step 2: apply Colour and Change Magic Effect nail polish, let it dry.

Step 3. draw anything you like using Color and Change Magic Effect Designer polish, a clear polish with a very thin tip painter. You can draw stripes, swirls, dots… In few seconds all those stripes, swirls and dots will become darker than the original nail polish.

I also tried two different top coats instead of Color and Change Magic Effect Designer polish and guess what… it worked! The only thing is that using the normal top coat, its brush gets a little bit stained, but you can easily clean it… So, I don’t think it’s really necessary to buy that Magic Effect Designer polish, you can use your own top coat… :-)

The collection Colour and Change has 4 colours:

n° 01 Wonderlicious Green, but it looks more blue to me :-)

n° 02 Kind Of Magic, orange

n° 03 Sweet Surprise, pink

n° 04 Unexpected Galaxy, purple

The good thing is that they are all one coaters, so they are also perfect for stamping! :-)

My opinion is that Color and Change polishes are a good product for the beginners in nail art, or for the occasions when you need to do some simple nail art manicure quickly, maybe something like a coloured french manicure. For me, they are simply "not enough".. I think that I’ll be using them more as stamping polishes! :-)

So, here is a little bit of "picture spamming" following, I present you three Essence Colour and Change nail polishes and simple nail art creations I made with them :-)
