Allo polish Pals,
How is the start to your weekend going?
I had intended to show you something arty today, one of my favorite
colour combinations but unfortunately I'm really sick (So soon before
trip, typical!) and the colours just wouldn't unleash themselves in
front of the camera so I decided not to stress about it today and I'd
show you another little beauty from China Glaze.

| China Glaze's 'Below Deck' |
 |
| Gettin' Down With Below Deck. A Marvelous Mauve. |
Colour ~ When I first set my
eyes upon Below Deck I was instantly drawn to it. In some light it
looks like a rather vague brown but BD has a wonderful soft muted
purple that pops out. Its fun but sophisticated at the same time. A
sexy smouldering mauve would be a great way to describe it. I also
applied a matte top coat (Models Own Pro Matte) on top and it
produced a slightly lighter version, it was still gorgeous!
Coverage ~ Very good, no streaky
issues. I applied my usual two coats but like the previous china
glaze I have reviewed that was really all that was needed. Its the
perfect creme-like formula that means it coats the nail beautifully.
Application ~ Perfect
application. No streaks, perfect consistency. After applying the
first coat which went on super smooth I did decide to do opt for my
usual two; However I'm not entirely sure I really needed to. It was
wonderful to apply. I would even say.. Creamy like a dreamy.
Overall ★ ★★★★ /5 ~
Another winning polish here, It has that typical classy shine that I
am beginning to expect from all China Glaze polishes, its soft, muted
and very versatile with so many other colours. It applies amazingly
and it lasts as long as you'd expect. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

What do you guys think of Below Deck?
Do you prefer it with the matte top coat or prefer the glossy
version? Are you a fan of muted purples?
Thanks for reading guys! Perhaps its
back to bed for me. I need to be back to my healthy-state before my
big trip of Saturday! Eesh! Couldn't have happened at a worse time,
eh?
Enjoy your day :)
Love
Ithi

ReplyDeleteGet well soon! This polish is a beauty especially in matte. I have to buy a good matte top coat next month...
ReplyDeleteFor me I love the shine of a good polish but its fun to experiment with matte. Get well soon xx
ReplyDeleteThis is not the kind of color I would go for. But it is pretty in a way :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love these types of colors! This is really pretty on you, and I think it looks great matte AND shiny!
ReplyDeleteI love this color! I prefer it shiny even if I love the matte look too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ithi, I missed your post yesterday! I hope you're doing better already, take care! The polish is beautiful, it reminds me a little of Essie Merino cool, but a tad more red and darker. I prefer the glossy version! But that's just me.
