Candeo Colors Prénses Ros

In this post I'll be showing you Prénses Ros from indie polish maker Candeo Colors. Last month I showed you their beautiful polish Mahi. Prénses Ros is an equally beautiful polish, a sheer lacy light pink jelly with medium and small holographic hex glitters. It is delicate and lovely, very feminine with the added bonus of sparkling holo glitters.

I wanted to use a creme base layer polish with Prénses Ros and looking through my collection I realized that I have very few light pink cremes. Must remedy that! In the meantime, I selected Sation's Of Corset I'll Call You, a sheer cool-toned light pink jelly, as underwear for Prénses Ros.

Sation's polishes come in oval shaped bottles with thick glass bottoms and large brushes. The brush is round, not flat, and it holds quite a bit of polish. Of Corset I'll Call You is a thicker polish but applies easily as long as you don't have too much of it on the brush. It is sheer and at one coat would be very nice for a simple healthy look. I wanted a little more opacity and used three coats. Dry time for this polish was a bit longer than average and I used Qtica drying drops to help speed that up a bit. Of Corset I'll Call You dries naturally to a glossy finish.

As I said, Prénses Ros is a lovely, lovely polish. It has a liquid but easily controlled consistency and even glitter dispersion across the nail. Dry time is quick with a naturally semi-matte finish. I added two coats of Prénses Ros to the Of Corset I'll Call you manicure plus a coat of Seche Vite for gloss and to help all the layers set and dry properly.

Somehow I managed to get a bit of black debris underneath Prénses Ros on the middle finger of my left hand, I didn't even notice it before I looked at the photos. In macro mode of course you get to see EVERYTHING, for better or (more often) worse. Anyway, it's there so I wanted to mention it.

Isn't that sweet? Like candy! Love it!

Prénses Ros would also make a lovely french manicure with a twist. The twist being of course the holo glitters, to add the lightest touch of bling. It would be a great polish for someone who wants to try glitter but not be overwhelmed by it. The translucence of the pink give this look a feel that is light and femme. There is a pleasing medium amount of glitter on each nail, the glitter to base ratio is just right.

Next time I'll try this lovely polish over a pale pink creme that's a little warmer. Of course I'll have to find one and buy it first! 

I saw your Dad's photo of you and Will on the lawn outside the Smithsonian. Did you get to see the Hope Diamond? What was your favorite exhibit?

love,

    1. Thank you Thithi! Prénses Ros is just a love of a polish and unique among Candeo's glitters, which are typically more boisterous than this. I highly recommend this indie brand, they make some beautiful glass fleck polishes too!
