Btw this is emphatically not a Valentine's mani. I acknowledge Christmas and Easter and that's about it. Hallmark and all the other card companies can take a running jump. If you can only be loving/thoughtful/considerate one day of the year (after a great deal of hinting etc) then you're not the woman for me! Not that I'm looking anyway.
This photo is taken on day 3. Three coats. Excellent quality.
A red creme is a red creme. I don't have many because what's the point of THAT then? These are the ones I DO have. I'm quite impressed that I don't have many similar polishes in my collection. I do try not to duplicate things.
Nails Inc The Hurlingham (untried) - veering orange?
Cover Girl Candy Apple - my first! really good
Illamasqua Brigitte - lovely jelly finish
Illamasqua Ruthless - see above (bit on the blue side?)
CG Phat Santa - also good, the darkest
It's hard to formulate a poor quality red creme. It's one shade that seems to be fairly foolproof.
Tbh the Nails Inc and the CG were in sets and I wouldn't have bought them separately. I wanted the others in the set.
The CG was in a set too with a sparkle topcoat. For me the CG was fine as my solitary red creme. But I'm getting a bit of an Illamasqua obsession so I will buy stuff I find on sale whether I need it or not. Foolish woman!
Why do we do stupid things whilst knowing full well that we should not?
Examples
- continue to buy nail polish we neither need nor can afford
- persist with partners whom we no longer love nor respect (could be just me and it was a few years ago)
- eat foods that we know will make us fatter and less healthy
- drink to excess when we know we are very likely to have a sore head or do something desperately embarrassing
- the list goes on...

Wow, that red looks gorgeous on you, and great wear for day 3, seriously impressed! I'm the same with nails inc, stupid compulsion to get *all* the colours...
ReplyDeleteI love that red on you. Valentine's day thoughts are brilliant. Well said. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect red and I can't believe that is 3 days wear. I love Illamasqua polishes :) I'm the same, if I see them in a sale I want to buy them!
ReplyDeleteI love your Valentines-Hallmark holiday thoughts. The only thing I like about Valentines day is there are always lovely cakes on sale in supermarkets. I'm currently eating a truffle heart, I know I shouldn't, but never mind! :P
Beyootiful red cremes! I know the reason we eat fatty foods: They're yummy!
ReplyDeleteTruffle hearts. Yeah, those are an everyday treat! Like choc ices.
ReplyDeleteThey are yummy, Lillian. I do say some ridiculous things.
