Onto the POLISH!!!
So this is probably not the newest polish, but I got super excited because I hadn't seen it in any of my Sephoras until last week. I have been waiting for this feather stuff!
I decided it was also time for a giveaway, because any of you who actually read my book length posts deserve a medal... or free stuffs. I am going to try to do a little giveaway like this once every couple of months, because its really easy to just buy two of a lacquer and it will give me an incentive to stay current with trends. I never really buy the newest latest and greatest... Im usually just hunting for stuff that I like, and then I jump on the bandwagon later and act like "OMG look what I finally found out is great!" its kind of lame when you think about, try not to think about it.
So I didnt know what underwear to use with this...
I tried sans underwear
This is two to three coats of Edinburgh... I say two to three because it was two with some retouching on both the first and second coat... by the way, this is a lumpy polish...
Then tried American Apparel T-Shirt (my favorite white undies), Essie Haute as Hello (one of my favorite peachy colors that kind of matched the orange bar glitters), Ciate Cream Soda (a nice neutral light gray), Kleancolor Lake Mist (the only powdery blue shade I have... mental note: go buy a cream powder blue polish), and Orly Chocolate Martini (because I thought "Hey, why not try an intense coppery color... why not?"). Before and After
So I hate the way it looks over the copper, I like the how the orange and blue glitter pops over the white, and the glitter seems to fade over the orange and blue polish...
This is what I ended up going with!
I thought the glitter looked really nice against the gray... and I wouldve used an orange stamp but it didnt show up very well...
I think I like this polish best on its own, especially since thats when it looks the most like feathers. It does layer up pretty quickly but the only drawback is how lumpy it gets.
So what do you think? Want to win a bottle? Good Luck!

By the way, I had to chop off all my nails because remember my last post where I talked about buffing my nails down? Yeah, well apparently you shouldnt peel your splitting nails then buff them until they are paper thin and then go partake in strenuous hand labor... apparently.

Awesome! I would probably throw on some googly eyes. Monster nails here I come!
ReplyDeleteI love googly eyes... they are so underused in nail art!
DeleteSo pretty! I would just wear it by itself because it's such a gorgeous polish (: Thank you for the giveaway! <3
ReplyDeleteI think it looks better by itself!
DeleteI would probably throw in somw light blues/pinks/purples and see how that looks for a cute spring look :)
ReplyDeleteIt is such a spring polish! Maybe a pale yellow might look nice too?
DeleteI think it would be great with an accent nail with contrasting pastels.
ReplyDeleteperfect look for April!
DeleteI really think the Feather effect nail polish is really cool! I don't have any of them yet :) thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteCool! I am trying to get in touch with new things that come out, so I'm glad I'm not behind already
DeleteI would layer it over the white :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked great over white! It makes the colors pop
DeleteI love that it actually looks like feathers! Would love to add this to my polish collection. I'm always looking for something new and fun.
ReplyDeleteCool! This is definitely different from most of the stuff out there, unique
DeleteWhen I saw this polish at Sephora, I was tempted to get it until I saw that it had a bird picture on the cap. I hate birds and it would freak me out to use it. Soooo as much as I wanted it, I passed. Plus...the whole idea of feathers grossed me out too. I am usually anti bar glitter but this one didn't bother me as much. The one that I wanted was blue and green, I think or yellow...don't remember now.
ReplyDeleteAs far as international shipping--it's pretty safe. I mean, I have mailed tons of stuff mostly to Australia, Canada and Western Europe without any problem. I haven't done that much international shipping ever since they DOUBLED their rates in late January. Can you believe that? I think one polish to the UK cost me like $10 to ship. That's kinda ridic. I also think it's impossible to mail polish to Italy from what I've heard.
BTW, that bird pic is a sticker and you can totally remove it from the cap!!! I agree about the bar glitter, it is a bit messy... but on the upside they are so short they dont curl! I am still so hesitant about shipping internationally. I am not an honest shipper... I always say its makeup, but then if they ask I tell them its concealer... cus its not flammable. I especially dont want to pay 10 bucks to ship 9 buck polish. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually. Thanks for the info
