Lunasol EX30 Lighting Fuchsia


Lunasol is a Japanese department store brand. Lighting Fuchsia is a part of the limited collection dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the brand so it could be difficult to find this particular polish now. Lighting Fuchsia is a fuchsia creme polish with purple microshimmer. The formula is nice, it's neither thin not thick. The brush is flat and soft, which also makes it easier to apply the polish. Lighting Fuchsia is fully opaque in two coats. I'm used to holographic polishes which are really fast-drying for me but cremes tend to take more time to become completely dry. So, overall, not impressed with Lighting Fuchsia's drying speed. Additionally, the bubbles appeared even though this usually happens only to very thick polishes. These bubbles are not big or drastic but they are there, and I don't like that. On a happier note, the polish didn't stain my nails or skin. Plus, the color is beautiful and vibrant.

Emily de Molly The Devil's Advocate


The Devil's Advocate is a bright red holo with red to gold shimmer, the official site says. I would personally call it bright pink or even fuchsia. I've only been able to see it as red in yellow electric light or in the direct sunlight. Both yellow light and sunlight make colors appear warmer, i.e. redder in this case.

The holo looks pretty subtle. In most cases I see more shimmer than holo. The Devil's Advocate is highly pigmented, it is completely opaque in one coat. Here I've used two coats, but that's just because I always use two no matter what. The official site warns about the possibility of staining, but I personally had no issues with removing this polish. I find all Emily de Molly polishes to be extremely easy to use, and The Devil's Advocate is no exception.

The photo above was taken in white electric light. I've also taken photos in the shade and in the direct sunlight, you can find them under the cut.
