Cirque Colors French Roast. A mixture of very fine espresso colored microglitter, warmer brown microglitter, gold microglitter, and dark brown, light brown and orange small/medium sized glitter.
Like Dark Horse, this glitter is extremely thirsty. It needs a minimum of three coats of good, thick, glossy topcoat to looks its best. My normal method is to apply Gelous, then Seche Vite, and then another coat of Gelous on top of that, and sometimes another coat of Gelous the next day. That's how I'm wearing it in these swatches.

ReplyDeleteOMgosh...this is awesome. Can we please see it swatched over black maybe? Id love to see it over black or a dark color. *drool*
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine needing that much top coat. It would peel off my nails in no time.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You always have the best swatches. I think you can make any polish look amazing.
ReplyDeletePerfect swatch! This reminds me of Scuppered from Butter London a little bit
ReplyDeleteLove the name of this polish especially cause I live in Seattle. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis nail polish looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Is Gelous a quick dry topcoat? I'm always looking for a good one. I like Seche Vite a lot but I get shrinkage problems with it.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so amazing! This one looks like gingerbread :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! But damn that's a lot of topcoat!!
ReplyDeleteOrdered! Can't wait! This is one that I don't have anything like.

ReplyDeleteI bought French Roast and I love, love, Love it!! I have a question, you say Gelous - are you talking about the base coat? With the green top? Does it take a long time to dry? or are you talking about the Gelous top coat? You are putting the Gelous base coat on as a top coat? Please clarify for me. I love your swatch pics. Helps me decide what to buy. Thanks
ReplyDeleteBought French Roast and it's great. Beautiful color and the formula is perfect - not too thick goes on great - very satisfied with this polish soo so pretty I love coppers and golds and browns.Some of the polish I have bought online has been too thick . Are u using the Gelous base coat as a top coat? Or the Gelous top coat as a top coat? Does the Gelous base coat take a long time to dry? Do you put it under a UV lamp for curing (drying?) The way this looks on the nails is so worth the extra top coat.
ReplyDeletecan you please clarify what kind of gelous you are mentioning?? and a link where i can get the nail polish and gelous??
Deleteplease clarify the gelous, and where to purchase the nail polishh and the gelous? a link would be nice - love the blog
DeleteLove how the layers of topcoat make it look like the polish is under glass or something! Great swatches :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I really loooove this one! It's great!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really gorgeous glitter! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI just got my order of this, it's so incredible! I can't wait to swatch it myself :)
