Purple Tips

I've been pretty sick the past week and a bit. Long story short, my allergies hit big time after this massive weed/wild flower patch was cut down right beside my house -__- That happened the day before I went up north to Wakestock, which was held in an area surrounded by the country - that didn't help my allergies either haha.

I have really bad allergies too, so when they act up, I'm pretty much immobile until I start to feel better. So I didn't feel like doing my nails until yesterday.
Last night I had an event to go to, so I wanted a manicure that would match my dress. I decided to try out Color Club's Pucci-Licious, which I've been dying to try since it came in the mail a month ago. It's too dark for summer in my opinion, so I decided to do a french tip with it instead.

The base colour is done in China Glaze's Moonlight - a sheer white I like to wear alone as well.

I used regular scotch tape to make my mani, so it didn't turn out perfect, but it was good enough for what I wanted. I painted the tips of my thumb nails on an angle.

(I couldn't sleep after I got home from the event last night, so I had fun with my camera haha)

The dress I wore - the colour of my nails matched the purple almost exactly! Score!

On another note,
I've been looking at swatches of Models Own polishes lately, and I really want to order some now! Does anyone have any of their polishes? Or any suggestions on which shades I should order? :)

Color Club Review & Who Are You Wearing?

Sadly, I only own 3 Color Club nail polishes, since I was recently introducted to this brand. The 3 I own are from my Trans Design haul, but now I want to order more!

Love 'Em/Leave 'Em, Who Are You Wearing?, Pucci-Licious

I've heard so many great things about Color Club, so naturally I was super excited to try out this nail polish!
(When these polishes first arrived in the mail, I applied Love 'Em/Leave 'Em, just to text out the formula & drying time.)

I decided to try Who Are You Wearing?, which is a very pretty pale, pale lavender gray.

Who Are You Wearing? - 3 coats & top coat
This was photographed today, which is actually the 3rd day I've had this on! And there are no chips yet - not even any tip wear.

I really like the formula of these polishes. They go on really smooth, and don't bubble at all! This shade was a little sheer though, and required 3 coats to achieve the same colour as the bottle, which isn't that bad.

They dry pretty quickly, too. My mom has weird nails - it takes hours for polishes to dry on her nails, and sometimes, they're still tacky the next day! She tried on Love 'Em/Leave 'Em, and within 15 minutes, it was dry to the touch!

Now I need to order more colours!! There are so many nice shades Color Club carries, and they seem to last a long time without chipping! :)
