piCture pOlish Rocky Horror Show Nail Collection Swatches, Review, & Nail Art Feat. Columbia, Time Warp, Rocky, Frank-n-Furter & Magenta!

The pictures really don’t justify how sparkly and glossy this shade really is. In bright light/sun light, it glistens and twinkles, while in the shade/dim light, it shows off the lit within quality. Gorgeous!

It applied smoothly considering the density of the glitters and shimmers, and reached full opacity in 2 coats. I’m in LOVE! If you love Rocky Horror or red polishes, then you’ve got to snatch a bottle for yourself.

Time Warp is a vampy blackened base filled with blue and magenta fine shimmer. I was surprised by how much I liked this shade. The best part is that although it looks very dark in dim lighting, the shimmers create a galaxy-like depth to the shade so it doesn’t look completely black. I think it’s the perfect juxtaposition of the dark side of the Rocky Horror Show and the vivid characters within it – nothing is quite what it seems….

The formula was slightly thick and has minor frostiness to it during application, however, I achieved opacity in 2 easy coats and as you can see, there’s no frostiness in the final top coated look.

Rocky is a super fun gold glitter topper consisting of small, medium and large highly reflective hexagon glitter. Each glitter is like a little golden mirror, shinny and loud. You’re sure to be noticed no matter what shade you choose to layer it over.

The formula was awesome. I didn’t have to fish for the glitter and this only took around 1.5 coats to get the dense coverage you’re seeing.

Another yummy picture to show you the glory of Rocky!

Frank-n-Furter is of course inspired by Dr. Frank. It’s a medium blood red. And I fell in love with the smooth and highly pigmented crelly formula. I’m wearing 2 coats.

Another favorite of the collection for me and I feel it would be flattering on most skin tones!

Look at that flawless shine!

Magenta is inspired by the hair color of the character Magenta! It’s this gorgeous brownish burgundy/maroon shade. Thanks to one of my dearest readers, I was able to add her just in time! I can’t believe I forgot to include it when I first wrote the blog post. This goes to show that burning the midnight oil sometimes means I can make big mistakes!

It’s so very pigmented. Opaque in nearly 1 coat.

And here’s another shot of the nail art, cause I’m really proud of it! So, thanks for indulging me 😉

For those of you who are not as familiar with the show/movie, here’s the break down of the colors used and the inspiration behind each nail:

Δ THUMB: This is inspired by Magenta’s maid outfit, using piCture pOlish Magenta and Bright White

Δ INDEX: I had quite a lot of fun creating the Rocky themed nail, as soon as I saw the gold glitter, I thought of his gold shorts. So, I did glitter placement of  piCture pOlish Rocky over Time Warp

Δ MIDDLE: This was by far the most time consuming nail. It’s inspired by Dr. Frank’s blood red lips and his signature sexy pose. I wanted the end result to look like a graphic illustration rather than a realistic photo, so I had to make sure it was flawless. I started with piCture pOlish Bright White as base, then drew the red lips with piCture pOlish Frank-n-Furter, finally, I outlined the background and the gaps between the teeth with Time Warp

Δ RING: This one’s inspired by Dr. Frank’s corset. Yes, he’s featured twice because he’s awesome, he knows it, and he flaunts it! I started with piCture pOlish Beige as the base for his skin, then I drew the plunging V-shaped neckline and strings using Time Warp

Δ PINKY: Last but not least is Columbia. I layered piCture pOlish Rocky over Time Warp as inspired by her golden jacket, then I drew the bright and sparkling red bow with Columbia

This mani was a lot of fun and pretty badass Rocky Horror in my opinion! I hope you liked it. If you’d like to have this look, then follow my blog in the side bar or check back in the next few days for a detailed tutorial!
