Vernis Classique by Cherimoya in Electric Heaven (over grey polish). Here's an older picture that I forgot I had. It's was one of the handful of Cherimoya polishes I picked up at the same time as Metallic Purple. Electric Heaven is an absolutely gorgeous polish. It's a sheer layering-type glitter that has lots of different shapes and sizes of translucent pink-orange based iridescent opal glitter plus big pastel iridescent stars. All the glitter is set in a peachy-pink tinted base, but it applies clear with only the barest hint of color. Yes, it smells bad. Yes, it's thick. And the brush is just silly. But damn if this doesn't look good over every single polish I've layered it over. It even looks good by itself as long as my nails aren't too stained (a coat of Color Club Milky White French Manicure base coat tends to fix that). To me it's worth having on hand just to look at how pretty it is in the bottle. It's like a magical star-filled snow globe.
I don't remember how much I paid for this, but I don't think it was over $4. It came from Walgreens, but they haven't had a Cherimoya display since I originally picked this up.
Oh, wow! That is gorgeous! I wish they still had it at Walgreen's, I've never seen anything quite like it.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! It's lovely, and you're right... Great layering polish! I kind of wish they had them at Walgreens now....
ReplyDeleteOooh this is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI love it except for the stars. I'm not a fan of super-large glitter; it always makes me feel like a kid wearing it. But the smaller glitter in it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOeeh ahh, Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice find, and gorgeous swatch! I love odd little gem of nail polishs that you can find sometimes. In high shool (about 10yrs ago...eik!) I had a np bottle in the shape of a cat sitting. Inside the np was a blue jelly with square holo glitter. My sister got it for me, and I have no idea where it is today.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Sometimes I wonder if I'm getting too old for things like sparkly stars on my nails. I don't think so, though. I think I could get another 10 years out of stuff like this before I need to reevaluate, lol
ReplyDeleteKleanColor Aurora is a good dupe of this. Love how those stars lay flat.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very girly and cute.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! The stars are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI live in Sweden, do you know any site that ships this brand internationally..?
Thanks!
ahh this is stunning.. love the iridescent hexes in it
ReplyDeleteI adore this manicure!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks much better than a $4 polish...I need to visit the States more...
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, this is lovely! I'll have to see if this is available online anywhere.
ReplyDeleteoh this is cute. love the combination!
ReplyDeleteI just left Walgreens, where they had the new Wet n Wild Fergie polishes, have you seen them yet? The reason I mention ir on this post is because there is one called Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is multi colored stars in a clear base. Looks really awesomel in the bottle but I imagine it would be a PITA to place all the stars. I picked up two from the collection, a black and gold glitter and a red and holo glitter. I think you'd like some of them!
ReplyDeleteCute glitter! I've never seen this brand before.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and I am one of those not madly in love with glitter - hate grit/chunky - hate getting it off. Wondering if just some areas of the US carry this brand at Walgreens? I never have seen it at any Walgreens in CA.
ReplyDeleteI love that!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so dreamy over the grey - great and unexpected colour combo, Scrangie!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this colour before, and I have nothing from that brand. Cool!
Beautiful combo!
ReplyDeletePretty! It's like Essence Night in Vegas with stars. Gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThis definately looks like Aurora from Kleancolor, which smells bad too and is thick as well. Probably the same polish in different bottles?
ReplyDeleteIt's like the pink-orange version of Aurora! (At least, in my bottle of Aurora the iridescent hexes are more blue-green, so I don't think it's an exact dupe?)
ReplyDeleteJust ordered a bottle from eBay. It looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteJust ordered a bottle from eBay for super cheap. It looks gorgeous, I think it might be worth the trouble.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteooo thats so pretty, I just raced to ebay and picked up a bottle of this (and a few others :/)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is a gorgeous polish! Annnnnnd I just went to eBay. Found a set w/ two Cherimoya polishes--had the color Electric Heaven (that you swatched here) and a shade called XTC, together for $3.99 ... yeah, s&h is $4 but paying $7.99 altogether for two polishes isn't too bad when plenty of single bottles of polish cost that (or more)!
ReplyDeleteYou are an enabler. A horrible, lovely enabler.
Weird that I should see this today, I just bought something exactly the same this weekend. NYX makes the same stuff, it's Pink Glitter #216. I have it on right now. :)
ReplyDeleteFunny that I should see this today...this weekend I bought NYX pink glitter #216, it's exactly the same, stars and all. I love it, I am wearing it right now actually. :)
ReplyDeleteI have this Polish....they dell it here in the Bronx for. 99.
