Aurelia Magnifique...

Friday, October 11, 2013
Say 'hello' to my shorties! No, these aren't quite nubs, but they are shorter than I've had in a while and it's kind of refreshing. I find that I like this length a lot in person, but for some reason I am usually not pleased with photos so I tend keep them longer. Anyone else keep their nails longer/shorter than they normally would for the blog or am I just strange?...

Today I would like to show you two Aurelia beauties that I got in a swap with the lovely Mari of muxe.net. I've actually worn these a few times, but the first two times I managed to smudge the manicure before getting any photos. Well third time is the charm...

This is Aurelia Magnifique Vanille 06. A grape purple crelly which gets good coverage at three coats. Application was nice, no streaking or pulling and easy to put down thin coats. It is fairly difficult to wrap the tips with this one since it is sheer. Swatches are with no top coat. It is very shiny in part due to the jelly like formula...

Aurelia Magnifique 137 is a gorgeous flakie cover. The flakies color shift from coppery red to gold to green. What makes this flakie cover unique in my collection is that in addition to the flakies it is filled with a beautiful blue shimmer. I applied one generous coat over Aurelia 06 above. I love flakie polishes so this stole my heart. I wore this manicure for a few days...



Trying to show a bit of the color shift. This doesn't quite capture the strong green flashes that it gets...

Do you ever want to "cloud" watch your flakie manicures and see what shapes you can find? I'm pretty sure there was a dragon on one of my nails...
