Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
today? I hope everything is dandy at your end? What was the highlight
of your weekend? I love to know how you guys are getting on.
I'm back home in
Holland now. I had a pretty interesting journey home...I'm pretty
sure a girl took a picture of me at the airport!! I was sat reading
my '201 ways to cure artist block' book. I was pretty engrossed in it
but something caught my eye. There was a girl standing fairly close
to me (there wasn't any reason to be so close, I wasn't sat next to
anything.) she did something with her phone and scurried off! I
turned around thinking there must be something cool behind me that I hadn't noticed but there was only a blank wall behind me... how
weird?!
Today I have the first
of two Born Pretty Store Chameleon nail polishes to share with you.
This is '10ml Born Pretty Store Chameleon Nail Polish in 221'.
 |
This polish is
recommended to be worn over a black base. I began with two coats
of Wet 'N' Wild's 'Black'. I allowed this to dry and applied two
generous coats of the BPS 221 nail polish.

The Colour &
Shift ~ This polish is a multi-chrome that shifts
beautifully between deep purple golds and even a slightly greenish
shade. To say the colour shift it apparent doesn't quite do justice.
I really love the bewitching and deep look of this polish. I also
think that from certain angles and in certain light it has a slightly
coppery look to it. It has a fairly watery consistency which allows
for nice and smooth application.
Dry Time ~
I found dry time to be a little one the slow side, even with a glossy
coat of my Pro-FX top coat but I thought it was totally worth it, I
couldn't stop looking at my nails and in my opinion that's always a
great sign that I really like a polish.
If you notice on my
middle finger there are some bubbles going on there. Now... I don't
think that it is because of the polish itself. Because otherwise the
others would have bubbled up too so please excuse it, I think I was
possibly a little clumsy with how much I had loaded onto the brush. I
think this polish could have a tendency to bubble if you apply it too
thickly.
Final
Thoughts
Overall I am really,
really impressed. Would I recommend this to Miss MCCrumpet? (Wtf?)
Certainly if she's looking to expand her Chrome collection on a
budget. These polishes retail at $6.99 each – reduced from $15
originally. That's a pretty sweet deal and a steel if you include my
discount code!
Now... Since
this is recommended on a black base I am super curious to see how
this looks on top of white. Would you like to be part of that
experiment? I am happy to do a post on it if it interests!

ReplyDeleteMaybe the girl recognized your nails and was to shy to ask you to make a photo with you, who knows. As about the nails polish it is a gorgeous shift of colors, to bad that BPS does not ship anymore in Romania liquid items :(
ReplyDeleteIt has a visible colour change :)

ReplyDeleteThat's super beautiful polish! I loved that second click! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have this one too and I like very much the color shift!!
ReplyDeleteI love using different base colours for multichromes, but I always use dark colours. White I only use under neons honestly.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous polish!
