New Polishes

I caved at the Expo Robinsons Sale and bought 2 bottles of Couleur Inc polishes. They're $3.50 a bottle so not that bad. Plus my mum paid for them along with her other stuff so I shelled out nothing!

I've been looking from this blue bottle for sooooooooooo long. A couple of months ago, I saw the plastic swatch thing that they paint the polishes on and I knew I had to have it. since then, I've been looking out for this shade at every Robinsons / John Little outlet and it has always been out of stock. I guess my luck came through and I found it today! :D



Took the picture under a lamp and I had to photoshop the colour to make it more accurate! It's darker and bluer than CG For Audrey and a little bit lighter and bluer than CG Flyin' High if you have the above mentioned two polishes to compare it with. The polish also dries a tiny bit darker than in the bottle!

I also realised that I have an Elianto polish that's almost the same colour when I got home and checked my stash. The Elianto one is  a little greener than the Couleur Inc one but they're quite close. Also compared it to Essie Turquoise and Caicos as I had it painted on one nail already. Again, I had to photoshop the colour of my nails because they all look the same on camera. It's Couleur Inc 97 (ONE coat), Elianto Turquoise (two coats) and Essie T&C (3 or 4 coats, can't really remember) from left to right.



The other polish I got was a clear glitter. I'm currently waiting for CG Fairy Dust to arrive and I think the glitter particles in this polish is larger (and hence different) than those in Fairy Dust.



And to show off it's beautiful silver and multi-coloured glitter particles:



I tried painting the glitter polish over one of my coral nails and it looks quite sweet! It's the polish on my thumb in the above 2 pictures! There's a post coming soon on my coral mani with an accent nail so do look out for it!
