Bamboo Manicure

I've got a MoYou London plate with a bunch of different bamboo patterns and I used one of them on top of the gorgeous duo chrome Electric Apple NYC from Takko Lacquer. The result was a fairly tone in tone look in the sun and strong lighting but in the shade there was a bigger contrast. Pictures of both examples can be found below. I like the tone in tone version best :)

The plate is called Suki Collection-06 and I stamped with Essence Gold Digger.


How do you like this bamboo manicure?

Takko Lacquer Electric Apple NYC - swatches and review

I was so happy when I managed to snap three Takko polishes last autumn and it's a pure shame I haven't tried them yet! But here is one of them - the slightly duo chrome Electric Apple NYC! As you can see in the pictures this polish has many faces depending on the lighting.


GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Shimmer/duochrome.

Number of coats: Two.

Formula: Excellent formula and so easy to apply! Surprisingly weak brush strokes.

Brush: Fairly wide straight cut brush.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 4+/5

This polish is unique in my collection and I love the glow of it! However, it's not very colorful so it's a 4+ from me :)

New arrivals!

I couldn't believe my luck some time ago when I got hold of some Takko polishes!! I was like a hawk on the launch day and I got not one, not two, but three Takko's!! :D They sure look great in the bottles!

I also got two more textured polishes from the Swedish brand Kicks when they had a sale. Oh! I got a Picture Polish too when I got the Takko's :)
