For those who never heard about Lumene before (I believe the name is not very popular around the world) – it is a Finnish cosmetics and skincare brand. There is a crystal clear lake called Lummenne in the center of Finnish Lake District. The lake gave its name to the Lumene brand :)

I remember Lumene’s polishes from my school years, especially I liked a blue shimmer called Star Dust (or Space Dust?) and a sparkling yellow polish which name I completely forgot, but like I said, it was long ago, so I’m 100% sure both of them have been already discontinued, I couldn’t even find their swatches on the web… Anyway, let’s move on to today’s polish!

Lumene’s Magic Moment or Hetken lumo in Finnish is a gorgeous purple nail polish with pink and purple microglitter. The polish is slightly sheer, it takes a few coats to build up intensity, but it dries quickly so it’s no big deal.

On the pic I have 3 coats of Lumene Magic Moment without base or top coat:
