Anyway here's how I looked today. Complete with multiple chins. ;)
Here's some close ups. Mac Please Me lipstick. I've grown to love this after my initial uncertainty.
And here's the eyes, thats Mac Silver Fog Pigment, Mac Dark Soul Pigment and Barry M Silver metallic liner (which is rubbish btw).
In other news. My China Glaze Strawberry Fields lasted not even 24 hours before chipping like a total bad un. Not impressed. So I'm now on the very beautiful China Glaze Holo OMG.
And if you spot any lumps and bumps, thats my damaged nails, not the application. I've worked out why I've been having so much trouble applying the China Glaze polishes. I did two coats of OMG before I left for the in laws and did the third in the car on the way (in a traffic jam). It was hideous, chewy, patchy, every brush stroke pulled up the previous layers despite the fact they were very dry. So when I got to the in laws I borrowd MIL's nail polish remover and started again. I didn't have my Base coat with me so had to go without. And what a difference! No problems at all, it went on like a dream. Clearly China Glaze polishes and OPI Nail Envy don't go at all. The difference was immense. So. Now I need to know what base coats all you China Glaze lovers are using because I can't keep using the Nail Envy if its causing me such problems.

Love the look of that lipstick, looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI used Barry M 3 in 1 topcoat, basecoat and hardener, with Seche Vite as my topcoat. If I'm using a light polish sometimes I leave out the basecoat as chances of staining are minimal. Hope that helps
Yes - that does help thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI am so getting Please Me on pay day, I had an inkling I wanted it but you've just confirmed it!
ReplyDeleteMy China Glaze polishes have been a bit disappointing with regards to staying power too, they both peeled off (whole nails at a time!), and I thought it might be because I used a base coat and it all ended up too thick? I use Seche ridge filling base coat btw.

its funny you say that as my polish has been perfect for 6 days now?! I never use base/top coat, not any reason just purely because i cant be arsed lol.
ReplyDeletenice FOTD! Im going to do one 2moro, so dont be surprised if my big egg head cracks your screen =0/

Laura it is really nice. Very Matte but such a pretty colour!
ReplyDeleteNoob - I look forward to your FOTD. I will carry on using teh Seche Vite, it just dries your polish so quickly but for pale colours I might give base coats a miss. x
Oh that China Glaze holo is the business! The lippie really suits you too x
