For today's swatch I used the bottle shown above in the lower left hand corner. It was the color that first caught my eye out of all the colors in the collection. It is more purple in real life. Obviously none of these polishes have names, the bottles are too small to even have sticker with a name on them, lol. All the names could only be about three letters in length ;)
As far as my expectations, they weren't high for these. The formula was ok, it dried really quickly and it's like I couldn't get enough polish on the brush to paint my nails. I had to do 2-3 dips to cover just one nail. The brushes were absolute crap! Bristles falling out, uneven, small - just useless. I really liked this color though! I would really love to have this color in a bigger bottle with a good brush and see how it works. Not bad for $3.99 but I'm not sure it is worth all the hassle for such a small bottle of nail polish.
It's really pretty, though- and even though you say the formula was a nightmare, you did a beautiful job with it! From your description, I was expecting this half @$$ed mani, but it looks waaaay better than many professional jobs I've seen! A testament to your skill, girlee! Perhaps you can use this for Konad or franken and just bypass the brush entirely...
ReplyDelete(but it seems like it's very sheer- how many coats did you use to make it look that good?)
READERRITA - You are right, I did forget to say how many coats this is. This is three. Thanks so much for your kind words :)
