Claire's Mood - excited bored

Paints well with a very nice brush. I've got 3 of the Claire's mood polishes. This one probably worked the best for me. Today it was clearly visible with the two colours, but maybe cold weather helps as well as the part of the nail not on the nail bed really has the chance to get cold.

This colour is a salmony pink with the cold colour being the dark coral. It is a matte shade and it chipped like hell without a top coat. So while the matte look is very pretty, if you intend to last the day you will need to cover it up. Top coating doesn't alter it's mood abilities at all.

It goes on very sheer and stripy alas, so take a lot of care putting it on. I needed 5 coats just to get all the patches non visible. It also tends to accentuate nail unevenness, so maybe try a ridge filler.

Claire's - Mood color changing polish - Lonely / Loved

Ok, so first two fingers from the left are normal body temp... then the last two are dunked in hot water. Actually I didn't try dipping in iced water.

Sky blue with silver glitter. Goes on ok, but smells funny and the glitter is kinda chunky so you end up with quite textured nails. Looks bumpy. :/ Not swish. I put on 3 coats for ok coverage. a 4th coat tonight on one hand... 4 coats looks better.

The mood changing bizzo... well I got 3 of these and the purple one is quite dramatic, but this blue one is hard to tell the difference. All these Claire's ones (Claire's is a clothes chain in the USA, like Sportsgirl in Aussie I guess...) have these dual names. My favourite was the grey and yellow one but I couldn't find it on ebay. :((( They have been discontinued but there is no shortage of mood polish, even locally. BYS has currently got a small range and you can find BYS in Cosmetics Plus, Crazy Clarks and Kmart in QLD.

On to the photos. I've taken a new tack... Try and find interesting locations to take photos of my nails. Unfortunately my favourite shot last night against the funky bus seat fabric was blurry.
