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!
