Zig zag (chevron) Nail Art with piCture pOlish (PMT, Atomic & Mad Magenta)

Good afternoon 🙂 is everyone having a nice weekend?

We woke up this morning to torrential rain. I love how heavy rain clears the air, and the clocks just went back, so even after a long night’s sleep, we still have all day ahead of us. It’s a great feeling!

piCture pOlish – Brushes, Beige, PMT & Atomic

So the new piCture pOlish brushes arrived this week, they were good to their word !

Would you like to see? Well, I cleaned up one of the old ones I removed to show you the difference. The new one is shorter, but the stem is a little longer, so it still goes right to the bottom of the bottle.

Please excuse the dust – it only showed up once I blew the photo right up!

So how does it perform? Well, the new one is smoother. The bristles have a flexibility that runs more consistently along them, which means it fans out really nicely. In comparison, the older, rounder one has bristles that don’t spread as evenly or predictably. On the brushes below, I held them both together, so the pressure on them should be about the same

So I changed them all over, pretty messy for 11 bottles, so I’m glad I had some gloves handy 😉

Here’s the collection !

 

piCture pOlish – Sparkle & Atomic

I’ve more piCture pOlish swatches for you today 🙂

There is nothing I love more on a sunny day (other than the sun itself, of course), than a nice shiny nail polish ! So I decided to go for Sparkle and Atomic by piCture pOlish.

 

Sparkle is a silvery base full of tiny rainbow-coloured glitter. As a glitter, I expected it to dry quite fast. It didn’t, can you see the huge smudge on my middle finger?

It took 3 coats for opacity, totally normal given how pale it is. This is the finish without top coat, it’s quite matte and rough.

 

Atomic has a very similiar formula, but is opaque in 2 coats. It has a mix of silvery and delicate holo glitter that is absolutely fabulous !

 

As much as I love these sexy little bottles, I’m still not getting on with the brushes… My cuticle line feels very messy !
