Rokk96 - I'll be frank

This is another beautiful polish from Rokk96 called I'll be frank.  It's a rich burgundy with a strong very fine gold shimmer.

Just like the other Rokk96 polish I recently showed, I re swatched this as it looked a little patchy the first time around.


Two different swatches, both taken in the sun but at different times of day.  I really shows how different lighting can make a polish look very different. 

This was two coats, but it really should have been three. Nice formula and good staying power.

Rokk96 - Hypnotic

Today I have another Rokk96 polish that I got from Price Attack.  Hypnotic is a purple jelly with a bright blue shimmer.  The two swatches below were actually taken about six months apart.  The top one done just this weekend, the other one ages ago.  I wanted to take some more pictures of it because I wasn't happy with the patchiness in the first swatch.

The above picture has three coats of polish on the index finger, and only two coats on all the other fingers.  I did three on the index because I banged it and wanted to cover up the mark.  The below swatch only has two coats on each nail.

Clearly, for the best result you need to do at least three coats (and maybe even four) of this polish to get a finish like the colour in the bottle.  I hate having to do that many coats, but at least this colour is worth it in the end.

Rokk96 - Silver Screen

A new brand of polish today. I actually swatched this a few weeks back, before I had a trim of all my nails.

This Rokk96 brand in Silver Screen.  I bought these from Price Attack, and there is a quite large range of colours in this brand. They were $8 a bottle, or three for $19.

Silver Screen is a fabulous metallic blue.  I'm not really sure what to call all the variants of blue, but this is certainly darker that the other two metallic blues I have (Ulta3 Little Boy Blue and Razzle)  Maybe it's cornflour blue?

On the second day wearing it, I decided to mattify it with Essie Matte about you.  It still looked fantastic.


I found the formula on this beautiful and the wear was very good too.  This was two coats.  I bought two other colours in Rokk96 but haven't tried them yet. Has any one else tried this brand?
