Hi guys! Here is a quick post before my review!
I used these manicures as "undies" for the new Polish Revolution collection.
I thought I should post them before the review to avoid bulking up that post :)
Sephora Formula X Hyped - Three coats.
This isn't a review post but I want to say really quickly that I was disappointed in this formula.
Definitely manageable, nothing too difficult but I guess I expected more from Sephora!
It just didn't apply very evenly. The formula was kind of a let down, but the color is gorgeous!
The colors used for this Ombre:
Finger Paints Stunning Stilettos, Zoya Kelly, Zoya Petra, and A England Camelot.
And for this gradient I used Zoya Breezi, NOPI Khloe Had A Little Lam Lam, and China Glaze Holly Day.
I sponged them over a white base using the sponge painting method.
Okay be prepared to see these layered on and even more gorgeous!
oh man, I wanted you to say the Sephora polishes were awesomefabulousperfect. Because I need that color!
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong it wasn't completely awful. I would buy it again personally, but I had super high hopes.
DeleteThis is the only one I have tried so far though! I have a glitter topper too and it looks nice and dense!
despite the application issue noted, i NEED that Sephora X polish, like yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt is insanely pretty! I want a few of the other Sephora X Electrics too!
DeleteGorgeous gradient! Do you have a tutorial somewhere for this sponge painting method? Yours looks far neater than mine always do!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a real tutorial but this post shows how I do it with a gif!

Cool, thank you!! I've been doing it by dipping a sponge tipped eyeshadow applicator in polish and even dabbing it on, but that doesn't create nearly as neat of a look as your method does!
DeleteThanks! There is more cleanup this way..unless you tape around your nails but the tape irritates my skin easy. It's worth it imo! It blends colors together great! Just do one dab onto the nail at a time (with all the colors on the sponge) let it dry mostly before you do another or it can pick up the color. I just do one "layer" on each nail instead of just doing on at a time, I go back and forth.
DeleteHopefully that makes some sense lol I'm not great at explaining things!
(That is why I keep telling my self to make videos!)
That Sephora shade is just stunning, love how it looks but not so impressed with potential formula issues.
ReplyDeleteholy balls, i NEED that Formula X polish IMMEDIATELY!!! Oh wowza!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow. I am in love with that gradient!
ReplyDeleteHyped is gorgeous, too bad the formula was such a problem
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting that the Sephora X polish didn't have a great formula! I've only tried one and it was great. I guess you win some you lose some!
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty manicures! But for the price of the new Sephora X polishes, I would expect perfection in formula!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that Formula X polish!
ReplyDeleteWell I Love the color of the sephora. sucks it's not AMAZING formula. Color is STUNNING though.
ReplyDeleteI love the gradient.
That ombre is a lovely arrangement of colors!
