Xroma Polish & Vinyls Mixed Nail Vinyls (Part Two) - Swatches & Review

Monday, 16 January 2017


Well this post has been a long time in the making.  You may recall that I was sent a heap of new nail vinyls from Xroma Polish & Vinyls in November last year.  I have done one post so far (you can see that here if you missed it) and am slowly making my way through the other designs.  I think I still have another ten or eleven to do so you will have to keep a look out for those posts in the next few weeks.  Anyway, today I have another five designs to share with you.


If you have seen my previous post on these vinyls (or any of my posts on social media then) you will know that I am a big fan of Xroma's vinyls.  They are one of the brands vinyls that actually stick to my curved nails.  I did have trouble with the psychedelic vinyls not sticking but the day that I used these vinyls was incredibly hot and humid and I think the stickiness melted off them.

There really is such a great selection of vinyls available from Xroma Polish & Vinyls.

Xroma Polish & Vinyls Mixed Nail Vinyls - Swatches & Review

Monday, 28 November 2016


I was recently contacted by Xroma Polish & Vinyls to see if I would like to try out some of their new designs.  I have previously swatched for Xroma before (although I don't think I have ever done a blog post on them - not sure why.  I am guessing that I swatched them before I started blogging?)  Anyway, I loved the vinyls that I have tried previously so I said yes.  Much to my surprise there is a HUGE amount of new designs!  I will be swatching them all but naturally this will take me some time.  Today, I have five of the new designs to share with you.


One of the things that I look for (and really hope for) is a vinyl that will actually stick to my curved nails.  A lot of brands will stick for a little bit and then peel up.  Definitely not ideal and usually involves lots of polish going under the vinyl and creating a huge mess.  I don't have this issue with these vinyls at all.  They stick really well to my nails and don't lift up.  They also aren't super sticky that I then have trouble removing them once I have painted the polish on.  I also find that these vinyls are cut really well and I have no trouble removing them from the sheets.  Honestly, Xroma do some of the best vinyls that I have tried.  Right now onto the manis that I have done so far.

Cyclone
Polishes used are China Glaze None Of Your Risky Business and One Tracked Mind.


Moroccan Mixer
Polishes used are Femme Fatale Cosmetics Hexweave and Pretty Serious Cosmetics Absence.


Rings
Polishes used are Orly Be Daring and Pretty Serious Cosmetics Absence.


X
Polishes used are Essie Sunshine State Of Mind and Pretty Serious Cosmetics Absence.


Splat
Polishes used are OPI Alpine Snow, China Glaze Refresh-mint, Lime After Lime, DJ Blue My Mind and Don't Be Shallow.


I don't think I can speak highly enough of these vinyls.  As I mentioned earlier there have been a huge amount of new designs added to Xroma's range as well as the traditional styles (like zig zags etc).  You can see their full range here
