Review: Colour Club Pure Energy

Here's another polish from yesterday's haul. I have one word for you:

WOWSER!



Pure Energy is a good name for this polish. You know the little blue light on your monitor or computer? The one that means it's switched on? That's what this colour reminds me of.

Application? Not so good actually. The formula on this is incredibly thin, and not in a good way. It took four coats to get a good finish and bottle colour. There was a lot of dragging and bald spots. But on the plus side hardly any visible brush strokes, and it dried super quick.

I wouldn't call this an everyday polish, but it's certainly something special, and I love it!

I am keeping the courier drivers of Auckland in business - another haul

I finished the last post, looked out the window and there was another package, this time from 8ty8Beauty. Today is like Christmas AND my birthday!

Wall-E would like to present:



Colour Club Where's the Soiree?, Orly GoGo, China Glaze For Audrey (yes I finally found somewhere that has it in stock), Colour Club Pure Energy, Orly Charged Up and O.P.I. Miami Beet (which 13 Year Old Daughter has been coveting).

At this point, faced with nine new nail polishes to try, I have to keep reminding myself that the logic behind me staying home full-time was to make a start on the renovations and generally keep the house in order, NOT to spend all day trying on nail polish.

Here is a side-by-side of Essie Greenport and China Glaze For Audrey. Certainly in the bottle they are very similar, Greenport seems slightly darker, with a more greyish cast. Wall-E says swatching is in order!
