From L-R: 17 Lasting Fix in Mini Skirt; China Glaze in Oxygen; Jessica in Blush; Maybelline Forever Strong Pro in Ivoire Rose and Misa in High Waist Hue
and on the nails - I've only used 2 coats of each so you can see how they all turn out
Thumb: 17 Mini Skirt - I found this nail varnish hard to use without it looking streaky and uneven. I think this would take 3-4 coats to become totally opaque
Index Finger: China Glaze Oxygen - This nail varnish applies more evenly and gives a more sheer finish as you can see from the swatch. This has performed very well but has gone gloopy quickly
Middle Finger: Jessica Blush - This nail varnish applies very delicately and evenly. I like the finish it gives which is very natural. The only thing I can think to critique it is that a manicurist once told me you have to use a Jessica top coat to seal it because without a top coat it marks easily
Ring finger: Maybelline Ivoire Rose - this nail varnish is fairly sheer and applies well. Very middle of the road
Pinky: Misa High Waist Hue - I LOVE this nude. It's got flecks of blue and a hint of pink to it which makes it look more mannequin manicure than smokers nails. It is very opaque and 2 coats is normally enough to cover the nail line.
Next time - my extensive pinks collection!
What do you think of this post as a series? Are you interested in snooping around my nail varnish collection?
Loving this idea! I'm hoping it will save me looking like an idiot at Boots trying on various nail varnishes that don't have time to dry! hehe bring on the reds!
ReplyDeleteThe Maybelline one looks great, and reasonably priced too I bet.
