NOTD OPI - Pompeii Purple

Bit of an odd one today! My eye just cannot detect a purple, even the duochrome flashes blue rather purple!

Still love it though, bright pink is a very me colour. The formula was good, 2 coats to opacity and wear was good, as you can see tipwear here but that was after 5 days!

Can you see purple? I see a blue-y silver flash!

This was a lovely, eye catching polish that makes a change from the regular hot pinks!

Pompeii Purple is in the core range so available from http://www.lenawhite.co.uk/store/pinks/pompeii-purple now

NOTD Sally Hansen - Deep Blue Sea

This was another Poundshop bargain! I snapped up 3 shades in one shop and they have only had in some really insipid shades since, but I check once a month or so!

I loved this when I saw it in the bottle, even the cashier mentioned it but I found it a bit meh and bland on the nail

Even my mum was unimpressed and she doesn't often comment on my nails! Only if she really likes something, she said it just wasn't a polish that made an impact!

I felt this was on the wrong side of frosted, a bit old fashioned

But staying power was good and it lived up to its extreme wear name!

I am glad this was a Poundshop find as I would have been disappointed to have paid the regular £7 for this.

I did pick up other colours that I shall blog and alreadythink will be more flattering than this!

NOTD Color Club - Blue-ming

This polish very nearly did not get blogged! Never have I had such a problem photographing a polish in my life! I had to play around with some never touched before settings on my phone to get the colour right!

But it was worth it as this polish caught my eye straight away when I was perusing the shelves in TK Maxx!

Application was a chore, I won't lie I was tempted to take it off almost straight away! First coat was streaky, second coat was streaky, third coat was great and opaque BUT then it took forever to dry. Even with a quick dry sparkly-ish topcoat!

You can see a hint of the sparkle on my ring finger. The worst part of this mani was that after an hour and a half I put a dvd in the player and made a huge dent in two nails of my right hand *face palm*

This was a beautiful polish and the white base made it a really bright pop of colour on my nails. Alas, next time I wear it I will give myself half hour between each coat!

Blue-ming came in a set from TK Maxx and that is the only in the UK I have found Color Club but they have some on Amazon which I didn't know until today!
