I love love love this colour. It makes me feel very posh 😛 It was released as part of the Holiday 2010 collection (around Christmas time) It has a kind of pearly finish and flashes green and gold. It has a blue-grey base (although you can’t see it) which seems to give it a lovely dusky, muted tone, and when the light hits it it gives a green-gold flash in the centre while the sides of the nails look dark – it really is beautiful.

This polish took 2 coats, as the first is rather patchy and you can see the blue-grey base colour, but 2 coats covers it all up and smooths it out. Dry-time could have been better, it was touch dry within a few minutes but I felt it wasn’t really dent-proof for quite a while after, but it’s not a problem if you’ve got the time to be careful. It doesn’t need a topcoat, but a topcoat enhances the green-gold flash and really brings out the colour, but the polish is still fairly glossy without.

The one thing I am a little disappointed with is the brush, which is thin and not amazingly useful in neat application. It’s fine, but I personally prefer a wider brush.

However all in all I LOVE this polish and I am super duper happy with it. I bought it from eBay for £6 including postage from Ravendawn71 and it arrived within the specified timescale so all in all je suis un satisfied customer 🙂

How are you all? I had a mahoosive shopping trip with my Mum on Sunday and she bought me some lovely things, including 2 beautiful dresses, one of which I will wear to my school ball on the 6th, I may post a pic if you’re lucky 😉 and some beautiful horsey pajama bottoms 🙂 I also confess I went on a nail polish binge too after Andy let me loose with £20… always a big mistake! I managed to get my hands on some beautiful polishes though, I can’t wait to show you all 🙂 Hope you’re all good.
