The Nail Files #4

Well, this week turned out to be a nail polish fail.  I didn't like two of the three colours I tried, and the third is my regular fallback colour - so I feel like I haven't got anything interesting to report.

*sad face*

Ah well, on with the swatches.

Remember last week how I said I couldn't show you my third colour because I still had ink all over my hands?  Well this is the polish in question - Butter London's Pink Ribbon.  This came as a freebie with a Madison magazine (I think) several months ago (I believe I blogged about it at the time).  It's not a colour I would generally pick up and actually pay for, so I'm glad it came as a freebie.  I'm not a huge fan of this colour against my skin tone, it's soooo sheer I had to use four coats (four!), but I feel like it would be a good pink for a french mani. 



I suppose it is a nice creamy baby pink, but like I said, I hate it against my skin tone.  Something isn't quite right.  Haha, can you see the ink still left over on my middle finger?
The next polish I chose for the week is Jesse's Girl Magenta.  Really not sure why I felt like I would like this colour as I'm not usually a fan of anything glittery.  I found the red too blue (I know that sounds a little weird).  It also chips like a biatch. So bad.  But I suppose I shouldn't really complain since it only cost me around AU$3.00.


I just had a look at the website and it looks like they're no longer selling this colour and everything has been repackaged. Shame.  Hopefully they've improved the formula to include some anti-chip technology ;-)

And lastly, my fallback colour.  I must admit I love this polish - it was my very first OPI polish, so it will probably always hold a place in my heart (and collection).  OPI's Tickle My France-y.  I must admit, it was the adorable name that suckered me in, but it turned out to be the perfect neutral colour for me.


Not much more I can say about this except that I love it.
