What? Rainbow? Where? Indeed. This is a robin egg blue frost and egads, GLUG-world. I hated putting this on. And I hated that hours later it was still soft like blue tac. (squishy stuff you use to stick posters to wall).
Sigh... Anyway, if its in the bargain bin for a dollar, of course you know what you're up against. It was not exceptionally nice colour anyway. I'm a bit sad because a long time ago I had a She polish that I just totally, totally adored. It looked like I had sugar crystals on my fingernails.
So She is an Australian brand and mainly stocked in Priceline. Though I remember an era when they were sold in Myer. Sad times, eh?
In March 2011 my wallet started hating my new hobby... painting my nails. :o I'm in Australia and love pearly colours especially blues and pale greens.

OPI fake - golden peach
Somewhere in a Chinese market I found this polish. Oosh, does it ever smell. You open the bottle and fumes galore. But I really liked this pretty beige peach tone with its aura of gold. It has proved to be quite a demure and hard wearing colour but of course I am sad it was not really an OPI colour at all! It may look like foundation in the bottle but its actually a pretty colour.

Rimmel - Euphoria
I'm never a big fan of these quick stroke polishes. I like to take my time. However, it seemed quite good with this one, and pale colours are very forgiving if you cross the line. The fat brush... well I have to say I am not a fan of big fat brushes but I guess this one was not too hard to control. I think my favourite big brush is probably still the Bourjois.
These little stumpy Rimmel handles are a bit of a bother too.
So Euphoria. Well, in the shop I was much more excited. It seemed at once, pearly, pink and purple but at home, it really kinda turned out to be rather a boring frosty pink. But I have to say that it wore like a dream. LIKE A DREAM. 8 days later it was still on duty. But sadly dented on 3 fingers because the advertising lies. This bloody thing too AAAGES to dry out and inadvertently I put dents in the paintwork, totally unknowingly. I don't even know how it happened, maybe while I was typing??
It was a sweet little colour although someone called it dull pink. Actually, it even is a little bit grey in certain light.
