Purple Polish Party!

As I mentioned Wednesday it was a purple polish party day.  If only I could actually capture the colour purple!  It always looks more blue as in indigo rather than the yummy grape juice purple that it is. At least I thought I wasn't getting it but now that I look at it on my work computer it looks purple!  In fact I'm happy with how close it is to in person.  Yay!  I bought a new camera and so far I am quite happy with it.  It was the only brand (Nikon) in the store that seemed to be getting the colour right and capturing the sparkle. Spent more than I intended.  Got a Nikon Coolpix S80.  Back to sparkly stuff!  On my left hand I tried 5 different purples.  One less is shown in the picture because it was a duplicate colour.

Index finger = Zoya, Mimi

Middle finger = Nicole, Gone Wishin'

Ring finger = Orly, Out of This World

Pinky finger = Sephora, Just a Little Dangerous

Sorry for the mess on my fingers  when you click on the photos to see the larger size.  : )

Gone Wishin' is now one of my top 10 all time favourites.  I just found it this weekend.  I'll be sharing that haul next blog post.  It is a gorgeous polish.  It is a clearish base with tiny purple specks and then bigger peacock blue and hot pink glitter.  Just a Little Dangerous is a disappointment.  When you apply it you see loads of purple shimmer.  It must all sink to the bottom because on the nail once it is dry it looks like a cream.  I did manage to catch a little sparkle in the photo but it is nearly impossible to see in real life.

On my right hand I experimented with things I could put on top of Just a Little Dangerous so I could wear it as I will never wear it on it's own.  The following are on top of JALD.

Index finger = Cover Girl, Amethyst Mist

Middle finger = Cover Girl, City Lights

Ring finger = Color Club, Covered in Diamonds

Pinky finger = Nubar, 2010

I have more I want to try so that's just the first round!
