i ended up with bubbles cuz i didn't thin my seche before :( and i couldn't tell at first, but the yellow of my beds is really personified. oh well! i covered it with china glaze love letters, should've done two or three coats, but i ended up rushing so i could only do one and a quick seche vite top. which should make the line just about perfect, but nay it is not. i went with the natural smile line and used essie blanc for the white, then fixed the line with a regular chisel art brush and acetone. and a good french deserves more than a day of wear i think, am i right?! haha, anyway my nails have grown pretty well so i decided to give it a go. so when i stare at my fingers all day and see the mistakes, i end up just taking it off. I have not done a free hand french in forever, mostly because i'm not very good at it and i'm a perfectionist. wasn't being especially careful with my application. this is three coats, i got a few bubbles in there. It was hard to capture the color accurately, as my camera always turns purples slightly blue. i hate polish regret, it's pretty much the worst thing. i did borrow it from my friend mickelle (as we decided we're swapping and not buying for a while haha!) so no regrets. i personally think coconut kiss is a bit prettier ) but that's just me haha! unfortunately, i do not think it went all that well with my skin tone. you can see pics of pasadena purple on scrangie's and the nailphile's blogs. I've heard that this china glaze is a dupe for nubar's utterly coveted pasadena purple (from gigi's tips on "he's just not that in to you"). and coconut kiss does not bring to mind the awesome purpleness that this polish is. because they are brown, or white, or tropical, or whatever. mostly because this has nothing to do with coconuts. I'm not gonna lie, this is a stupid name for a polish. this is three coats, although i honestly think you could get away with one, hee hee i just couldn't stop applying it! (i'm retarded.) no topcoat, cuz i wanted it to be a true swatch for once haha. i was expecting it to be a little messy, as it reminded me slightly of lippman's anniversary superstar, but no mess no fuss! the brush in icing polishes is a dream, a bit bigger than most (think opi but slightly less wide and more thick?) but it worked awesome with my nails. it builds and applies extremely well, which was surprising to me. it's so unique and different than anything i own and i love oranges!! this is a rusty orange bordering on mauvey rose (LOVES it) with tiny silver sparkles and bigger holo glitter pieces in it. i saw paparazzi on steph's closet and fell head over heels. and it was the last one so i had to grab it up! i just had to. i honestly ran to the display in icing when i saw they had this color. Omg omg omg, i have not been this excited for a nail polish in a long time.
