365 days of colour: day 31

 Day 31

Lets just say that cleanup on these textured polishes is a pain.  If you think glitter polish is hard to get off, these are worse.

But they are so pretty.  Ugh.

Julie G - Plum Fairy

I have a massive soft spot for Julie G polishes.  They're *SO* pigmented that you can easily, if you're in a hurry, get away with one coat.  If you have a little extra time, you can slap on two in a relatively short amount of time because they dry super quick.  

If you DON'T like the texture, you can add a coat of thin clear coat to lessen the bumps, or a thicker top coat to smooth it out.  Gloss top coats will enhance the sparkle, matte top coats will dull it, but it looks pretty either way.

365 Days of color: Day 7

Red.

Red with glitter.

Red with glitter and texture.

That's what we got today.  

OPI Liquid Sand in The Impossible.  Ring finger: Color Club 60sec top coat.  Other fingers: Rimmel Matte Top Coat.

This was such a lemming polish for me.  I tried for ages and ages to find it, but could never bring myself to pay $25 for it.  When a friend had it for sale cheaper, I bought it.  

And I love it.  I find the texture to be a little extreme on the OPI polishes - I think when you have a solid base colour but only leave enough grit to make it gritty, it stands out as being TOO rough.  Top coat smooths it down to a more, gentle rough, as opposed to sandpaper rough.
