I'm Pine! - LA Splash Oceans Fairy, Revlon Slipper, Rimmel Eccentricity


Hah! The title is from a silly Korean ice-cream... Korean grocery stores have the best ice-cream ever, by the way. Anyway, as you could guess (or not), I'm Pine is the name of a pineapple-flavoured ice-block! Heehee~! Not sure if it was meant to be clever or whether it's a genuine romanisation mistake...

At any rate, the pine here refers to Christmas pines rather than pineapple, so this title treads the unpunny line, oh dear. Not just that, it's the second part of my glitter layering nightmare...

The polishes I used here were LA Splash Oceans Fairy, Revlon Slipper (from the Just Add Sparkle collection) and Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Stars in Eccentricity.

[Two coats: LA Splash Oceans Fairy]
I started with a base of LA Splash Oceans Fairy - a deep blue-leaning green jelly with green and gold glitter. I think it must be an old-ish bottle because PHEW! this smells! And oddly, kinda like turps. Not sure if the name should have an apostrophe either, but it doesn't on the label.

It's not as thick nor as glitter-packed as the glitter LA Splash polishes, but still has decent sparkle. These pics are with two coats, and there is very faint nail line still visible.

This is partway through the layering experiment. I started with a coat of Revlon Slipper (small red and silver glitter + sparse larger round holo in a jelly base), avoiding the large round holo glitter. This is the two nails on the right. The left two are after I added a coat of Rimmel Eccentricity.

After adding Rimmel Eccentricity to all nails. Eccentricity is a clear base with copper-gold small glitter and medium gold holo hexagonal glitter. These pics show one coat - the glitter density is middling? Certainly not as sparse as Revlon Slipper.

Sparkle! Another idea that seemed better in my head, it seems. In person, the small glitter size makes it hard to see all the different colours on the nail.

I think the verdict this time around is..... I'm Pine, Nut! *bricked*
