Tony Moly Galaxy Jupiter stress test


I've worn this polish for about 5 days at the time of taking this picture - with a base coat and 2 layers of Seche Vite for that extra shine. It appears that I don't have any pictures of it before! It's too bad, but at least you can see it looks as good as new except for the regrowth. Wore this to work (lots of computer work) for a few days even. No chips, barely any tip-wear, dare I say this is amazing? 
I'm a little sad I couldn't get the focus quite right on the glitter particles, not sure what went wrong there. Polish itself? Amazing. Three coats is enough to show full opacity (two over black) and it stays on like iron. Dries fast, looks GREAT. There's so much different glitter in there, it's a party. Only problem is it's a bit of a topcoat-eater, but 2-3 coats tends to do it. 
What's the polish that lasts on you the longest?

Tony Moly GS08 vs Revlon Whimsical

Index - Whimsical. Rest  -Milky Way

As I promised, I present to you a comparison between Tony Moly GS08 Milky Way and Revlon Whimsical (known as the DL Glitter in the Air dupe).
1st difference - I'm sad I didn't have a picture of the bottles handy, but Whimsical's base is a little bit more minty with a hint of green, while Milky Way is totally baby blue. However, it doesn't seem to matter, because the base colors both end up looking the same.
Milky way's base was thicker and it allowed for more color per coat, where Whimsical has more glitter in it per coat and the 'secret' mylar glitter pieces were more prevalent. The glitter looked better, brighter. However, this difference is VERY minute. 
They looked pretty much the same on my hands, index finger just looked a little bit more glittery, Otherwise, it's a great dupe with a bit less glitter.

Your thoughts one jelly-sandwich-in-a-bottle polishes? Love or hate?

Tony Moly GS09


Today I would like to present Tony Moly GS09, a part of my recent Korean haul! GS09 is a wonderful light lilac jelly with multisized hex glitter suspended in the base. I am wearing 3 coats in this picture, looks like that was enough to give it a milky jelly look, as well as show a lot of glitter. It dries not too slow, but not fast either. I did not want to put this on in thin coats, since it's harder to catch the glitter, but a fast dry topcoat eliminates issues with thicker layers. I liked the formula, it levels nicely and came out looking fantastic. Glitter does not stick out past the nail and stays in its base. The only downside I found was the smell, it reminded me of really strong white-out. I often find that is the case with foreign polishes - they might sell terrible or be missing balls, but I do love the polish so much, it barely matters to me. 

I've posted this bottle shot before but here it is again:

And a macro shot of the jelly sandwich! I love looking at my nails today!
