Dance Legend 161 Thermal Polish

Hello readers. Today I have Dance Legend 161 for you. Dance Legend is a Russian brand that is available internationally at Llarowe.

161 is a thermal polish that when warm is a bright light grey/white and while cool is a granite grey. Also contains silver shimmer that shows nicely at all times. I used three thin coats plus top coat. I had no issues with the formula. Wore this for three days with only minimal tip wear when I removed.

I admit that I have a bit of a weakness for thermals. I really loved this and it got a ton of compliments while I was wearing it. As mentioned, I purchased this at Llarowe. Unfortunately it is currently out of stock. Sorry about that. Hope you enjoyed.

Dance Legend Termo Trio no 1

Dance Legend Termo Trio no 1 is a colour changing polish. What caught my eye is that it changes into three different colours instead of the usual two.

I have to start by saying that I have a love/hate relationship with this polish. Loved the finished result, hated getting there. The formula is thick. When applying it was in the cool tone (purple) and after two coats I thought it looked great. Went outside to the sun, hands warmed up and the polish turned a light blue and I realized that the two coats were not as great as I thought. Applied another coat. Still some patchy areas when warm. It was just hard to get even coverage with the formula for me. Slow dry time even with quick dry top coat. Dries to a matte finish. Showed tip wear at about the 24 hour mark.

Also had a hard time getting accurate photos. It's hard when you're trying to catch three different shades at once! Bare with me, I took a lot of pics. All photos are with top coat.

As you can see, the longer the nail, the better. I wouldn't recommend this type of polish to someone with short nails. You just won't get the full effect. To get all three colours to show up at the same time, I resorted to putting my hand in the freezer. The things we do for polish! I purchased this polish from Llarowe. It is currently out of stock, but they are expecting more shipments.
Thanks for staying with me! Hope to see you back soon.

Dance Legend No 9 Sand!Which? and No 12 White Noise

Today I am showing you two Dance Legend polishes from the Sahara Crystal line. The line is textured polish.

Sand!Which? is a pink glitter with silver shimmer. Full coverage in two coats. Formula was on the thicker side but had no issues applying it. Average drying time. Also, it dries shiny on its own. Photos below show pics with and without top coat. I can't decide which I like better. Overall, I was very happy with this polish.

Next up is White Noise. Although this is from the same line, it is completely different. It has a matte white creme base with small black and silver glitter. Again, the formula was on the thicker side, but this was much harder to apply nicely. I used two coats and then dabbed a third to cover some areas. You will also notice in the pictures that it does hang over the end of the nail. I didn't file this down as I was just doing some swatching of it. This also had a longer drying time. It kind of makes me think that it looks like painting your nails in white out and then sprinkling some pepper on them. Photos below show with and without topcoat. Overall, not a fan. Disappointed as I was quite excited to get this one.

These polishes were purchased from Llarowe. As I write this Sand!Which? is in stock and White Noise is sold out. I would sign up for their newsletter to learn about restocks. Thanks for stopping by today, and as always I would love to hear you thoughts! Dance Legend is new to me, but I have a few more that I purchased at the same time to show you guys. Stay tuned!
