Nina Ultra Pro - Luminous Lavender

Luminous Lavender is a very sheer polish. It's a bluey/white with a pink duochrome and is very shimmery. This is such a pretty colour, I can't stop looking at it!
The pictures below capture the base colour quite well but not the pink duochrome, although you can sort of get the idea of it in the last two pictures, and you can't really see the shimmer either :(
The application was pretty much what you would expect from such a sheer polish, took god knows how many coats to get to the opaqueness in the pictures and there is still some very obvious VNL, ugh. I usually hate sheer polishes as I really don't like the VNL but this one i'm actually quite keen on :)
This was all without my lovely Seche Vite, took so much willpower not to put it on!

Nina Ultra Pro - Caramel Cream

Sorry for the lack of posts the past couple of days, i'm back on track now!
Today's Nina is a reddy/brown sort of colour, burgundy I suppose with a nice, gold shimmer - they sure do love their shimmer's, especially gold!
Unfortunately, from wearing this polish the last three days I have come to the conclusion that the gold shimmer likes to hide. I have not once been able to see any of it whilst outside, sunny or not. When I'm inside, you can see it a little bit but only if you're really looking for it, my camera actually picked it up a lot better than my eyes!
That said, I do really like the actual colour of the nail polish so it's not that much of a bummer although it would be nice to see the shimmer, it wouldn't stop me from wearing it. You can sort of see the shimmer if you look at the bottle in the pictures below.





Application was good, it needed two coats and doesn't take very long to dry, I love this brand! What do you guys think of the colour?
