Broken

I was way excited when my mum texted me yesterday during my lecture telling me that my polishes had arrived! And then as I read on, I got super sad. Why? See for yourself!

One of my bottles broke in the mail and spilled all over the place!  

The culprit: OPI Hey! Get in Lime broke at its neck and caused a massive mess. I was really looking forward to painting my nails with it but looks like it ain't happening any time soon. My nails are really jealous of the bubble wrap because the bubble wrap had the pleasure of being coated in the polish and my nails didn't. The green is beyond amazing as it's really nice and dreamy. I'm super bummed out this happened because it was damn hard to find this bottle and I was beyond amazed when the girl told me she could help me get it! Anyways, I emailed the girl these pictures and she was nice enough to give me a refund. 

I did however, manage to salvage just enough polish to do this comparison:

3 coats each, Hey! Get in Lime on the left and The Face Shop G503 on the right. TFS polish applied more streaky but it was still acceptable. I guess that's why OPI costs more, for its superb formula! Comparing the 2 colours, I honestly didn't expect them to be this similar when I ordered the OPI. I think if I'm desperate enough, I can always add in a few drops of blue into my face shop polish and franken the hell out of it to give me a similar shade as the OPI. Shouldn't be that hard to do!

I just hope the girl I ordered the OPI from will open up a new pre-order so I can order it again! I would happily pay $12 to get the OPI, hopefully in one piece next time!

  2. I guess the post office was busy with Chinese New Year coming up soon so they took less precautions in not throwning parcels around! The colour is soooooo nice and I'm really sad so much spilled if not I could have salvaged more! Do post that ELF colour of yours cuz I'd love to see it! (:
