El Corazon Prisma 423/39
I decided that the first swatch post after the break should be about the polish I've worn the most this month - three times!
Recently new colours were added to El Corazon Prisma collection and I chose one of them. I didn't pay attention to this collection before as colours seemed too boring to me, and I was so wrong! They have amazing holographic effect.
I love all the holos, but you may have noticed that there are different types of both linear and scattered holos. I'll talk only about scattered ones now. Some look as if a creme or a jelly was simply mixed with holo shimmer, other have completely different and stunning effect. Like in A-England polishes. A-England is famous for its amazing holos, and this is the kind of effect I like. It's strong and can almost look linear sometimes, more importantly, such polishes don't look bland without direct light. So I was extremely happy to find out that El Corazon holos have the same effect!
Moreover, 423/39 has a very pleasant colour - greyish beige. It looks simple but amazing.
Formula wise it's great, it is easy to apply, covers in two coats, dries fast and is very long-wearing. Only one thing that's not perfect: it is not really glossy without a top coat.
El Corazon Charme and Beauty 897
Charme and Beauty collection recently had several new additions to it, and I decided to show you the most interesting of them, in my opinion.
897 is a dusty creme... I could call it cool-toned pink or lilac pink. Or even orchid pink) That's right, it's similar to Pantone colour of 2014! And I like that about it. This spring I'm obsessed with orchid pinks.
Formula is quite good, it's a classic creme, easy to apply and opaque in two coats.
El Corazon Jelly 423/47
423/47 is one of my favourite shades from the Jelly collection. It has such a sweet and nice colour! It reminds me of baked milk (I know, you're probably wondering what that is. Well, Wikipedia has an article on it... It's a Russian traditional drink:). Also, it's a great nude colour for me.
As all El Corazon jellies, it's very easy to apply and is self-leveling. And it has a wonderful glossy finish!
I wanted to add something nice to this sweet colour and chose heart studs from Born Pretty Store for an accent nail. Don't forget that you can get a 10% discount in this shop by using my code AZX31:)

Kaleidoscope Alla Nails & El Corazon Lumenous
In the beginning of May El Corazon is releasing a new collection under its Kaleidoscope brand - Bloggers. As you may have guessed, it is devoted to bloggers, and each polish is named after one of the ladies:)
Today I'll show you the polish named after Alla from Alla Nails. I immediately put my eyes on it as soon as I saw the collection - it's so bright and unique! I don't know whether it suits Alla, but it is definitely my cup of tea, I love such polishes!
It's a light lime green jelly with neon yellow and green glitter, white glitter and black shredded glitter. So bright and original! I especially love the base colour and how it looks against neon glitter!
Despite loads of glitter it is fairly easy to apply, even shredded glitter isn't much trouble, and it is opaque in two coats. Although it's better to use top coat as shredded glitter sticks out a bit.

Kaleidoscope Zlata Siren
Today I'm going to show you the polish named after a very talented blogger Zlata) I think many of you may already know her blog, and if you don't, you're missing out!
Not surprisingly, her polish turned out to be amazing. It's an ink blue jelly with black and holo glitter. This combination makes me think of a night sky... Beautiful and unique polish.
Its base is quite sheer, and it looks differently depending on the number of coats. With four coats it is completely opaque, while two coats look very light. I chose to apply three coats. It is easy to apply and self-levelling. The polish is glossy on its own, but a top coat makes it much smoother)

Rose garden
Today's manicure features one of the new stamping polishes by El Corazon. They've been released only recently, and the new addition to the collection has a lot of very interesting shades, many of the with shimmer! And this one, stm-28*, is a red metallic. I think it's my favourite, it's really gorgeous.
And so far I've been really impressed by the quality of El Corazon stamping polishes. They transfer perfectly and the light colours show up really well over dark background. They're comparable to Mundo de Unas, I would say)
I will do a separate post about these polishes and show them over different backgrounds, but for now I only have time to show you this manicure with the red one. I stamped with MoYou London Pro XL 10 over Erre Due 433.
