Ha ha, I like my title this time!
Anyway, finally have some time to update - I'm currently slacking at home since school had stopped yesterday. Suppose to complete my last lab report and start revision but I'm nursing a baby flu that's threatening to blow up in my face. Gah, excuses, whatever~ :)
This week, I've decided to use the S$1 nail polish I got during the Sasa sale a while back. It's this pearly-blue, semi-translucent one here.
And voila, on my nails!
First of all, I have no idea why this nail polish should be going for such a cheap price. Because I think it's such a fantastic nail polish! On par with China Glaze and OPI even.
1) The texture. No streaking and no gooping up on you after 5 mins (we know glitter or matte polishes tend to do that). The formula was silky smooth through the whole application.
2) The shine. It's awesome even without a top coat! But I had to slap on some Poshe cos I didn't want it chipping.
3) The effect. It had this crazily cool pearl-esque effect going on. The polish was a medium periwinkle blue, but it flashed pink and orange depending on the lighting. I mean, it's not even duochrome; it's just this mother-of-pearl thing going on. I compared it to Paddle Pop (you guys have surely eaten the ice cream before right?) and the colour combi is pretty much like that.
Granted it looks grey when instead of blue on my fingers...
.. but you can see the flash of pink just at the center of the nails.
4) The longevity. I admit i'm wearing the polish with a coat of Poshe Top Coat over, but it's comparable to those times when I wore my OPIs or China Glazes with Poshe over too. I've had this polish on for a week now, and there is no tip wear at all. The only signs that can hint to you that it's been a week old is the growing border of naked nail at the cuticle/nail base, and the slight decrease in shine. But it still looks good enough to last for another week!
The only con? It's translucent, yeah, so don't expect it to cover your nail fully. I had 3 coats on here, and you can still see my nail tips. But I was expecting that when I bought it.
All in all, I'm so glad I got the polish during the Sasa sale. I was looking for a mother-of-pearl reflux kind of polish, and I grabbed this bottle once I laid eyes on it. And I'm really happy with its quality and pretty effect~ Too bad I can't seem to find this brand of polish anymore. Maybe I shall poke around in Sasa once my exams are over.
Anyway, thanks for reading once again. I'll be holding a giveaway soon, so stay tuned!
