The Swatch Game Week:Claire's Splatter Effect

Today marks the end of our Swatch Game Week and we finish with a bang (I think you'll agree ;))
Excuse the late hour post but with me on holidays (hurray!!!) things get a bit out of schedule..

I won't stall you with words but know this is a (very) heavy pic post ;)
Let's dive!




And we start it with Claire's Sequins.
This one is made of mixed glitter particles (big, medium and small) in neon pink, white and black.
You've got hexagons, dots and (how do I call it) whisps? lines? fillets?





Here I applied it over Inocos Lima - a very bright, almost-neon-but-not-quite lime green.
(click here for swatches of that one)





This is two coats of this topper. Mind you'll have to control your brush strokes if you don't want the glitter all clustered in one section of your nail. My advice: don't carry too much of the polish on the brush - go for thin layers.





Of course I had to see how it applied over a nude-ish, discreet pink.





I chose Leticia Well Metallic Matte No.16.
(click here for swatches of that one)




I think it makes for a very girly look, don't you think?





Quite the contrary to this darker one.





This is two thin layers over Leticia Well Metallic Matte No.15.
(click here for swatches of that one)





Again, two thin layers of this polish.
I love the combo with the metallic finish of the base polish - lovely!





Of course I had to pair it with white - had to show you how it looked anyway.





This one is Inocos Pipoca em Viagem.





And although it looks good I don't think it's my favourite, but it makes a good contrast, anyway :)



Now, onto:




Claire's Ferry Wheel.





This one instead of neon pink, has neon green/yellow glitter pieces.





Here you see it over Beauty UK Blue Himalayan.
(click here for swatches of that one)




I also wanted to apply it over an orange polish, but not a bright nor neon one, so this ended up as the selected.





This is Inocos Miminho.
(click here for swatches of that one)





I loved the contrast, despite it ended up being a more 'quiet' combo.





Finally and because this polish reminds me sort of graffiti, I knew I wanted to see it over gray.





I chose one of my favourite: Bellaoggi Light Chrome No.28.





And I was right! I love it!
If you want to see this one over white polish click here ;)



I hope I didn't bore you with too many photos. I just wanted to show off the beauty of this topcoaters when combined with different colours.

Let me know your favourite and what you think of these polishes.
Wishing you a fantastic week!! <3

Hugs & Kissies,
