NFU-Oh 012




















Hmm I was so excited to find this in person, but I don't think it looks too flattering on my skin tone.


I used 3 coats here.

I found the formula too be a little on the thick side which made it a little hard to use seeing as it is sheer. It doesn't have a jelly quality to it. So it just looks a bit funny with a whole heap of colour yet you can still see the tips.

I think I will take it home next week and add some thinner to it.

I do like the colour of 012. I would call it a very blue baby pink. It's is that category where it could be pink or purple.

Hmm maybe I will try some ridge filler underneath next time.

Orly Chai Latte




















I really love Chai Latte. I've never seen it before though so I'm not too sure on when it was released and if it came from a collection.

I used 3 coats here. I was having a horrible time swathing for some reason so that's why there are so many dings in the manicure lol.

Chai Latte is a non-streaky off white. I'd call it ivory or bone. Its a sheer white with a slight hint of beige to it.

I like the fact that it shows my tips, it makes them look white :D

Color Club Candle Glow




















I was so surprised to find a whole full stand of Color Club minis in a chemist here in New Zealand. Mind blowing.


I am very happy though that more polish brands are coming here.

This is three coats of Candle Glow. It was getting quite thick and messy in these swatches because I wasn't waiting for the coats to dry. So ignore the edges of my tips :)

So even at 3 coats you can still see my tips. I think with a coat of Zoya Get Even will make that more opaque. Candle Glow also looks very pretty and delicate over light pinks.
