My first attempt at Polka Dots

For the past few days I've been wearing For Audrey by China Glaze, a gorgeous nail polish created in honour of Audrey Hepburn. The colour is supposed to match the colour of Tiffany jewellery boxes however I can't confirm it myself as my boxes are miles away. I achieved perfect coverage in two coats but I reckon those of you who are more experienced could do it in one, it's that opaque. Don't you think it looks a little like Mint Cream by ELF? I didn't want to do a side my side comparison so instead I decided to do some polka dots for the first time using the techniques learnt from Cute Polish.As you can see from the picture Mint Cream is lighter than For Audrey and on closer inspection it's also more on the green side.

I love the dots and will be doing more if the future! What do you guys think?

(Can you tell I've filed my nails down to have a squarer tip!)

Undecided

Should I file my nails so they have a straighter/squarer tip?

Color Club Fashion Addict

It was only after I had made an order from an eBay seller for some hard to find polish (in the UK) that I read about duds and people's disappointment with some of color club holos. I hoped that I would get a good bottle but inside I reluctantly resigned to the fact I was going to receive a dud. So when my package finally came from the states Fashion Addict looked flat and my heart sank. However the next day when the sunlight caught my nails I could see glimpses of a rainbow and the signs of a holo!! Could it be? To be honest I don't know if I have a good or a bad bottle but there is definitely something there. I've tried to capture it on camera for you guys to see...

I had to fiddle with the exposure factors because my compact gets confused when there are areas of light and dark.
This is my thumb and the colours are a little more saturated because the photo was deliberately underexposure!

Before a clean up!! artificial lighting

Is this a dud? Should there be more holo?

NOTD: Maybelline Colorama Cherry Sweet

I don't know why but a polish with a jelly finish makes me want to lick my nails Hahaha! I guess it's the fact it reminds me of a hard-boiled sweet!

Today I'm wearing Maybelline Colorama Cherry Sweet (even the nail sounds like confectionery). The colorama line have long been discontinued but they are readily available from eBay.

I had to apply about 3 coats to obtain an even finish.
(Topcoat: Seche Vite)


Lots of lovely glitter suspended. Yummy!!!
