Attitude Asteroid

For some reason I have become addicted to funky-French manis! So this one has foil tips. Then a clear-based glitter coat over the top. My index nail is especially yellow but ... what can ya do?

This British brand is Star Nails Attitude. Apparently it's mostly available in salons. Don't think I've ever seen it however. I bought mine online (usual suspects) and they manufacture some funky colours and I do recommend their polishes. The bottles are 14ml (whoever said that size isn't important simply lied) and you can always get them for two or three quid. Result.

Men land on moon in 1969 - polish stuck in bottle 2011

Albert Bridge and Kensington topcoats.

Do you think I can get a good load of polish on a brush? Enough to coat even a single nail adequately in a single stroke? Can I hell!

And why is this? Why do I have to tilt these bottles with the mathematical precision of an Einstein to get the merest micromillitre of polish on the brush?

Why does it look as if I shall have to jettison these despite the fact that there's half to just under half left in each?

Please recommend a good topcoat that is usable for about 80% of its contents because this is a phenomenon that is right royally p!ssing me off! Is it a conspiracy by the manufacturers to make us buy more?

The usual colour polishes (I generalise) only rarely trouble our nails often enough to diminish to even 50% but topcoats one DOES rather expect to have some longevity.

Star Nails Attitudes - duochromes - impossible to photograph!

Start with a pic

Dare to Bare, Oyster Pearl, Tropical Waters and SH Pure Putty used as a base (above a proper base)

This is my haul over the last 24 hours!
Barbara Daly from Tesco at either end. There were very few left so they are popular. 2 for £4.
6 Mavala glitters.
3 The Edge.
6 Attitudes.
Some stones as well which means I will have to do nail art flowers. I shall force myself to do it because I must spend more time doing and less time buying...

Click on this. Go on!

I finally got an accurate pic by selecting "Short burst" or somesuch on my Lumix. About bloomin' time that I learned how to use it! Now this does scream ice-cream sorbet in a way the creme formulae do not.

These babies in the bottle are so beautiful! But I knew they'd be sheer(ish) so I put the Hansen Pure Putty on first.
These are all 3 coats. I didn't care. I could have done many more as they are SO easy and so pretty and just flow on.
Dare to Bare (little and ring) looks silvery-pearl in the bottle but is iridescent pinkish on.
Oyster Pearl (middle) is golden pink in bottle but more golden on.
Tropical Waters is pale aqua in bottle and more greenish on.
But a photograph can't contain the fascination that these polishes exert over me!

You know what I mean. You twist your head, you break your wrist trying to find yet another angle..blah de blah
6 Attitudes polishes plus another of my beloved Misa Breakneck topcoat cost me less than £16!

Any ideas how I can bite the bullet and embark on a no-buy??? I am so WEAK.
