Model's Own Balearic Cool + Candeo Colors Laser Light!

Who wants to see a pretty badass combo?? *raises hand* ME!!

I wanted to wear my Candeo Colors Laser Light but needed something fabulous to put under it. I decided to try one of the new Model's Own Hed Kandi that I received from Kim in the UK. Balearic Cool is a bright turquoise shade that I thought would compliment Laser Light nicely. I absolutely LOVE the color of Balearic Cool but the formula is kind of crappy. What a shame huh! It seemed to be a thin neon, so I first tried it over white. That didn't work well, I still needed several coats so I ended up taking it all off and starting over. Then I tried Balearic on its own applying 3 thick coats for full coverage.

Next I added Candeo Colors Laser Light which certainly lives up to its name! Holy moly this one flashy holographic glitter! My photos seriously do it no justice! You have to see this one in person, it is amazing! I noticed that the glitters tend to sink in the base but it did not affect the amount on the brush. This is two coats of Laser Light followed by Glitter Tamer and then Seche Vite. YES this is a SEVEN layer mani (8 if you include the base coat LOL)!! Needless to say, I had zero chipping and my nails were hard as a rock! I got several days out of this combo! :-)


Artificial light, no flash.







BONUS Natural light shot! No flash.
