I was sent Not Like the Movies along with the Black Shatter and I might have gone a bit photo crazy. In all the promo images Not Like the Movies looks like a metallic grey, which is kind of is, in some lights...but in other lights you can see hints of lilac and unlike any other polish I've ever known, if you go outside it's a completely different colour, no grey, just a shimmery mauve/Lilac. It is very sheer, I have used two coats in these pictures because I knew I was going to put the black top coat on, but if I was wearing it alone I'd go for three coats. It also features some really pretty shimmer and a very very small amount of tiny glitter, its not in your face at all. Anyway, enough waffling, onto the pictures!
And a shot showing off the purple effect:
And now with added top coat:
And then I thought I'd add a traditional coat of Seche Vite, because, well it's habit.
I totally and utterly love it. In fact when this starts chipping, I plan to put it straight back on again, thats how much I love it and I don't think I've ever done that with any polish ever! I didn't think I was going to like the Black Shatter but I really do, especially with this Not Like the Movies underneath. I also really like the look of the other shades so I plan to buy them for myself when they come out. If I can wait until January!
These will be £10.50 each from http://www.lenawhite.co.uk/. Out in January!

Gorgeous colour! I like the look of the other polishes too xx
ReplyDeleteJanuary......???!
ReplyDeleteHOW COOL! And how cool that you got to try it now :-) I saw the Barry M stuff on someone else's blog, and wasn't impressed at all. However this looks amazing. Wooooo! :D
Yes I'd like them all I think!
ReplyDeleteFlump, I think is is about my favourite thing ever. I am excited!
Like Katy's song, I am a "California Girl" and these colors 'melt my popsicle!' LOL! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good, I'm pleasantly surprised as I didn't fancy the BarryM. As you say, I think it's the combination of the two x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous silvery colour!! I'm not normally one for light nail polish colours but that looks beautiful! I will definitely be getting some of that when it comes out!!
