Resort World

Oh no, not resort world sentosa, but rather polish resort world! Just look at the 2 polishes I got from Rubi, don't they remind you of some girl relaxing in a resort somewhere in the Maldives, lazing under a big huge umbrella, drinking from a buddha! The polish on the right is supposed to be a mint green but it looks more blue in the picture. It's a little hard to photograph so you'll have to use your imagination.



Here, I have OPI Nantucket Mist on my pinkie and ring finger, the Rubi colour on my middle finger, and China Glaze IV on my index finger! Weird how the polish looks so different on the nail than in the bottle!



Another picture, this one with flash so you can get a better view of the colours!



And the polish on my thumb has started chipping (after a miraculous almost-seven days) so in a desperate attempt to keep the mani on for as long as possible, I painted 2 coats of OPI Sparkle-icious on top! This is my first real accent mani and I must say, it's GORGE!



Close up of the thumb!



I used 2 thicker coats for the Rubi polish and you might have noticed that the bottle looks so similar to the OPI bottle! It's actually a tiny tiny tiny bit taller than the OPI bottle and hence it's 18ml compared to OPI's 15 ml capacity. Also, both my Rubi polishes have weird tiny particles inside them, like black particles, so painting can be a bitch when the particles get on the nail! Other than that, the polish is decent, the brush is good, really like OPI's pro-wide brush!

Oh, and btw, the polish on my thumb nails lasted 2 solid weeks before chipping! Super record!
