Acrylic Red

Thumb

- Nubar Ruby, index finger - OPI Crimson Carol, middle finger - OPI Smitten With Mittens, ring finger - China Glaze Stroll, pinky - Orly Glam. I have 2 coats of all the colors with Essie Good To Go! top coat. About Ruby, Crimson and Smitten I already wrote in Glittery Reds - Part 1, here. Stroll is a purple toned red with tiny purple and pink glitters and larger gold glitters/glass flecks. It´s the most sheer color from all of them in one coat (then Orly and Nubar; the other are pretty opaque). Orly Glam is not so purple as Stroll, but it´s a purple-brown toned red with tiny siver glitters (they are the smallest from all five polishes and almost invisible). I think Orly is the least interesting color from all five and has the most rough surface from them all (then Nubar; the other dry pretty smooth). All the colors are very close to the reality on the second picture except for Smitten which is darker in real life.

From the same collection (Nubar Royal Gems Fall 2009) as the brown Tiger´s Eye and the blue Sapphire. Opposite the previous two, this is sheer in two coats already. But nice. It´s a yellow-gold shimmer with a few gold glitters. I have 2 coats with Essie Good To Go! top coat. In real life it doesn´t have so much orange undertone as you can see here, it´s really a yellow-gold, more yellow toned than Orly´s Glitz & Glamour.
