POLISH PICKS
AUGUST
As much as I love this colour, it really is painful to use. It's getting really thick (not sure if that's because of age or because I've used so much), takes forever to dry, smudges, and is really difficult to remove. I can't decide if I want to make this my last manicure with it and put it in my empties or if I should buy some nail polish thinner. I guess I'll have a look around and see if I can find a similar polish and if I can I'll replace it, otherwise I think thinner is the way to go. Pretty Serious Cosmetics are no longer in business so I can't repurchase this which is a real shame, but it's also a motivation for me to use it up.
Sally Hansen x Crayola Insta-Dri Nail Colour in Atomic Tangerine
I love how neon this colour is, it's a really unique polish in my collection. It's red toned, but it's more yellow than my other red toned oranges and it's just so bright. I didn't have any issues with this in the application process, it took a little while to dry but nothing too excessive. I've missed wearing orange on my nails so it's just a fun change.
This is a really pretty colour, it's almost red, but it's got a bit of pink to it as well. It's a one coater which I love, and it dries pretty quickly too. I find that my top coat picks up this colour a bit so the top coat now has a slight tint which is annoying, and there's only one other polish I've noticed it do it to as well so it must just be something to do with the pigments or something.
Revlon Nail Enamel in Demure and Eclipse Nailwear Enamel in 135
This smudged horribly and I know it was the topcoat's fault this time because everything was fine until I put it on. It looks so textured and I'm so annoyed about it. These colours aren't my favourite, and I don't know how much I'll be using 135 now that I've finished Demure, because I always wear them together. This wasn't as much of a pain to remove this time, I guess I just have a better remover now?
Rubi Nail Polish in Rust
I'm so disappointed in this colour. In the store it looked like a beautiful burnt orange, and next to the mustard it just really drew me in, I bring it home and it just looks straight up brown, so I neglected using it. I finally decided to try it out because maybe it would look more orange on my nails. No. This is a brown polish, and don't get me wrong, it's pretty, it's just not what I wanted when I bought this, and it's not a colour I typically wear. I would love a chocolate brown polish, but this is more of a tree bark/dirt colour, it's very red, and I think I'd like something cooler. Anyway, it performs fine, I smudged one nail but nothing too dramatic.
Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine in Oragasm and Inglot Nail Enamel in 362
I forgot how much I liked Oragasm, I remember it being a different colour to this so I haven't worn it in a while - I really like 362 as well. I'm just getting bored of my nail polish collection because it's mostly cremes and I refuse to wear shimmers because they're so annoying to remove so I've been wearing multiple colours but it looks childish. I like these colours together but yeah I don't know. I just want something else but I don't have anything that I really want to wear.
Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine in Coral Blush and Rose Libertine with 3INA The Nail Polish in 151
I really like these colours together, it's fun and summery. I prefer wearing three colours on my nails rather than two because there's more variety and it's just a bit more interesting. These are all polishes I like and I really didn't have any issues with them.
