I was changing my nail colour and wanted to match it to a gorgeous dress I was wearing. So that's how I came to choose Ulta3 Cocoa from the Metallic Crush collection. I've shown you swatches of this colour and I loved the gorgeous metallic brown then and I love it now!
I applied a base coat of Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener. This base coat disagrees with several of my polishes and Cocoa was no exception >.< I applied two coats because the first coat did the same 'balding' that I've experienced with other polishes using this base coat. I find Cocoa easy to apply just keep the brush straight! I know that others don't like this collection because they find them too frosty, showing all the brush strokes, but I love them! I finished it off with a coat of Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat.
So onto the pretty pictures!

Cocoa is such a gorgeous reddish brown metallic! This colour matched my dress perfectly. The thing I loved most was how quickly it dried between layers since it was rather late at night when I finally got around to painting my nails!
I like this - very nice!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous!
Deletepretty colour!
ReplyDeleteI think so :)
DeleteCocoa is my favourite of the collection, but my application's not as good. Well done on the non-strokiness!
ReplyDeleteIt's my favourite too!! Maybe the formula on mine is just less streaky?

Thanks, I'll check it out :)
DeleteYou make this look amazing. I love the colour but it just looked so streaky on me.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I found the others in this collection to be more streaky than Cocoa.
DeleteLovely brown!
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to take it off!
