Dreaming of Dawn - Covergirl Midnight Magic, Miniso Japan Purple

It's been awhile! I was very busy and left Ev to fend for herself awhile there. But I'm back now and I come bearing gradient plus decals!

[Dreaming of Dawn]
So I started with Miniso Japan Purple as my base nail polish. I reviewed the nail polish here. Then I hunted down a nail polish which would give me a subtle colour change, and ended up with Covergirl Midnight Magic, which we have reviewed before a couple times. Midnight Magic is a blue foil with gold, green and pink microglitter, and if you apply it in thin enough layers, you can build up its opacity slowly. That means it makes a pretty good nail polish to use for making gradients. I didn't use a sponge, just applied straight to the nail with the brush, but in thin layers.

After that, I used a decal over the lot of it. I wish I could tell you more about the decals, but they were a gift and there was no brand that I remember. It was a decal of feathers and dream catchers I believe, but most of the art couldn't be clearly seen once applied to my nails.

The end result is a cool-toned mani that looks strangely witchy to me for some reason. Anyway, it was an easy mani for a fun result!

Dusky Lavendar - Miniso Japan Purple

I like to try nail polishes from new brands that I haven't used before, so I decided to give this one a shot.

The Miniso Japan stores are popping open everywhere in Sydney and they have a small nail polish collection too. I decided to give a dusky purple foil a shot. It doesn't seem to have a name, and on the label, all it says is "Product: Purple".
 
[Nails against bottle]
The bottle of nail polish looks kind of retro-ish. The nail polish is opaque in two coats and the colour is rather pretty, a shiny but dusty colour. But honestly? It stinks. It just smells really, really bad. I found it almost unbearable as I used it.

The two photos shows the nail polish under different lighting.

It looks lovely enough but I don't think I'll be buying anymore nail polishes from Miniso with how badly it smells.
