Nox Twilight Disco Darling - swatches and review

For this Holo Friday I want to show you a golden oldie! Meet Disco Darling from Nox Twilight! :D
I've shown you this before but it was a long time ago ;) I thought it was time to take some better pictures and review it again ;)
The pictures don't do it justice at all! There is a reason why it's called Disco Darling and think you can figure out why ;)
Disco Darling is inspired by the Twilight movie. Apparently a vampire's skin sparkles like diamonds in the sun. :)


GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT DISCO DARLING:

Type of polish: Holographic glitter.

Colour: Lots of silver holo glitter in a clear base. 

Opacity: Ok for a glitter polish. This is three coats.

Drying time:
A bit slower than normal due to the thicker formula.

Formula: Good! Comfortable to work with. Perhaps a bit thick, but then again it's at least two years old by now.

Brush: Very good, a bit thicker than normal but that's how I like it!

Shine: Very shiny on its own, but it leaves your nails with a bit of a rough surface so therefore I have one coat of Seche Vite in these pictures.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Colourwise it's accurate, but it's sooo much more glittery and sparkly IRL! It glitters like diamonds on your nails!!! :D And the holo effect really shows off in sunlight! You have to see this polish IRL to fully appreciate it!

Grade: 5/5 :D

This is a really gorgeous silver glitter holo polish with nice qualities! The pictures don't do it justice!
If you find it - buy it! You won't be dissapointed!! And the bottle is so beautiful with its crest!

Do you like Disco Darling?

Look at the pictures below and you'll understand why it's called Disco Darling! ;)

Disco Darling is inspired by the Twilight movie and apparently vampires skin sparkles like diamonds in the sun...

It comes in a gorgeous bottle with the Cullen crest on it!!

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter.

Colour: Lots of silver holo glitter in a clear base.

Opacity: Ok for a glitter polish. I needed three coats for full opacity.

Drying time: A tiny bit slower than normal... (but sooo worth the wait ;))

Formula: Good. Nice to work with.

Brush: Very good, a bit thicker than normal but that's how I like it! ;)

Shine: Very shiny on it's own, but it leaves your nails with a bit of a rough surface on the nails so therefore I have one coat of Seche Vite in these pictures.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Colourwise it's accurate, but it's so much more glittery live! It glitters like diamonds on your nails!!! :D And the holo effect really shows off in sunlight! It really does its name justice!! :D You have to see it IRL!!!

Grade: 5/5 :D

This is a really gorgeous glitter holo polish with nice qualities! The pictures don't do it justice!
If you find it - buy it! You won't be dissapointed!!

You can also use it as a holo top coat if you only use one coat over another nail polish.

Comparison neon pink nail polishes - any dupes?

Today I'll show you a comparison of four lovely neon pink polishes! (At least three of them are lovely ;))
From the left: Pink Parka, Beach Cruiser, Depend #34 and Crush in sunlight

From the left: Pink Parka, Beach Cruiser, Depend #34 and Crush in daylight

From the left: Pink Parka, Beach Cruiser, Depend #34 and Crush

As you can see in the pictures I used the following polishes:

Essie - Pink Parka
Orly - Beach Cruiser
Depend - #34
Nox Twilight - Crush

Before I did this comparison I thought I had four neon pink dupes in my collection, but oh dear how wrong I was!! These are NOT dupes! Not one of them! They are all different shades of neon pink! :D

All except Essie are three coats. Essie has four coats and could have benefitted from a fith one actually.

Orly's Beach Cruiser is the most neon pink polish to me - pure neon pink!
I love it! <3

Nox Twilight's Crush has the best formula by far! And the best brush. It glides on effortlessly! The colour changes a bit though after application. It becomes a bit darker and warmer pink than in the bottle. A minus in my book...

Depend's #34 is just... average... I don't know what to say about it really... It's an ok polish.

Essie's Pink Parka has one of the worst formulas I have ever seen! Thin and impossible to work with! And the brush is just terrible! Thin and to long! UGH! :/

And FINALLY - here are the results from the Little Miss Nailpolish jury: ;)

Orly - Beach Cruiser  5/5
Nox Twilight - Crush  4/5
Depend - #34              3/5
Essie - Pink Parka      1/5


Which is your favorite neon pink polish?
