52 Week Challenge: Week 49 - Grey

Final week in this year long nail challenge;

Base Polish: George @ Asda - Witchcraft
Glitter: Barry M - Jewel Britannia

Swatch: Color Club - Mrs Robinson

Finish: Neon violet

Opacity: Three coats

How much: 14.5ml

Brush Type: Standard

Mrs Robinson over a white base, really makes it pop! Although the top coat I used has shrunk the polish but not the base which means it doesn't look as good as it should. 

Nails: Bridal Veil Dots

A England - Bridal Veil
GOSH - Holo

Swatch: Orly - Sunglasses at Night

Orly Sunglasses at Night is part of the Flash Glam FX collection. All of the polishes in this collection are really different, designed to be layered over the top of another polish. I think that they are quite similar to a lot of indie polishes which are out there.

Difficult to photograph, shown over ELF Black.

Sunglasses at Night is basically a holographic strand polish in a sheer grey base, perfect for layering over black. Was a bit of a pain to work with as any bar glitter type polish is, that was because the bits of glitter were extending past the end of the nail. Really like Orly polishes as the bottle has a rubberised lid which makes it so easy to open.

Nails are the same as clothes, if you look at any fashion show chances are no one is going to wear the outfits.  Designers take bits from fashion shows and turn them in to something wearable, in this case the nails aren't wearable this is just a recreation of something from the catwalk.
