If there was one part of my cosmetic collection that did not need adding to, it would definitely be my nail polish collection. Alas...Fragrance Direct was calling and as well as the Sally Hansen Cuticle Eraser and Balm that I mentioned in yesterdays post, I also came away with three nail polishes. I got two OPI nail polishes, and a Sally Hansen one.
From the left is OPI Don't Touch My Tutu from the New York Ballet collection, Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud and OPI Steady As She Rose from The Pirates of the Caribbean collection. All of these look so similar in colour in the bottle, but I'm so pleased with all of them. The OPI polishes cost just £3.99 each, and the Sally Hansen was just £1.49! Bargains.
A white based nail polish is probably one of the few colours that I actually don't own, so that could have justified maybe one of these. Definitely not all three, but it's best to try I guess. Now I don't need anymore whites...
Starting at the top of the swatches, we have Don't Touch My Tutu by OPI. This is a gorgeous, sheer soft white. It took me three coats of this to get the perfect wash of colour with no streaking, and it lasted a good five days with minimal chipping. For better swatches of this, definitely check out Duckling To Swans blog, as it was her that convinced me that this was the one for me. (I actually had to place a second order from Fragrance Direct to get this; I had it in my basket but then decided against it, and then regretted it...)
In the middle, Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud. This isn't a perfect white, it has a very slight tint of lilac. Literally, the slightest touch added and I really like it. It kind of reminds me of a set of nail polishes that I saw on Cult Beauty a while back, and it was a set of maybe ten nail polishes that were all slightly off white inspired by white washing that had been tinted with other clothes. I got really good wear time from this again, and got four days without a chip. I used two coats to get the polish an opaque white.
Finally, we have OPI Steady As She Rose. I really love this one, and I'm pretty sure it's my favourite. It's a lilac nail polish which I think has a hint of a dusky pink about it. It's perfect for the Spring season which is all about pastel colours, and I'm very pleased! Wear time is slightly less than Don't Touch My Tutu by a day, and opacity is at two coats!
Have you tried any of these? What did you last buy from Fragrance Direct?
