Australis - Sweetpea

This is a creme pastel mint. Or Tiffany blue. Sigh... It was so hard to work with. It was such a thin pigment that I did 5 coats to get rid of the bald spots which has turned my nail looking like a wedding cake with chunky icing.

Annnnnnyway. I adore this colour, but why you so hard to work with?!

And the chunky round cap.. Also hard to use. I give up. There are other colours just like this one out there that has better coverage and easier to grasp. Goodbye Sweetpea!!!

Max Factor - Fantasy Fire 45

This is a three colour poly chromatic nail polish with microglitter. It looks gorgeous in the bottle but I could not replicate it on the nail. I even tried a base coat of a dark blue but that just totally changed the look.

It is fair to say that it is in a violet jelly base. After 5 layers you could still see the nail. It was so hard to make it look even. I guess that's the way with jellies. :-(( Mostly I am sad about the lack of effect translating onto nail.

I found the brush hard to use, as you can see, got it all over my cuticles and I didn't bother to do clean up before taking photos. Formula.. well, I wish for a formula where it paints like a dream and I don't get dark and light patches. So.. yeah, not too fussed on the formula.

Dior Addict 570

I was given a set of two Dior polishes from mum. They were from sample bags. This is a dusty dark rose with beautiful pink microglitter. Sadly the formula left something to be desired and it was quite an effort to try and get what was a gluggy and sluggish application even on the nails. Even after 3 hours of careful typing, I woke up the next morning with sheet marks and a gouge on the third finger. I really like the colour though!

I know I have been major slack on updating this blog. I've got about 4 waiting to blog but its been so busy lately I haven't had much spare time. Stay tuned!! I'm still polishing. :-)

China Glaze ... Outta Bounds

I got this done at American Nails in Hurstville Westfield. $12, but messy, no clean up. Took then 15 minutes. It is a sausage factory. Well otherwise it is a bright Kelly green metallic.
