1.2.3.

A simple, thick striped tape mani. This one was inspired by another piece of clothing somebody on television wore, but no matter how much I try to rack my brain I cannot remember what it was. The unknown gentleman on screen was wearing a cardigan striped grey, light blue and dark blue. I wanted to give it a little twist and make it less visually grim by going with an off-pink shade instead.

Colours used; Catrice, 'C05 - Nautica', Koh, unknown colour, Koh, 'No Worries (217)'.

Bright.

Here again is the Depend polish brought to me from Spain.
The moment I got it I really liked the image in the packaging, it's fun and vibrant and reminds me of paisley print.
And I do love me some paisley print. It's probably a good thing I don't run a fashion blog.

The polish itself isn't relevant to this post, but I wanted to try and recreate something similar to the background picture as an accent nail, so I did!

Base colours: white is a nameless polish from Primark's P.S. brand, minty green is OPI's 'That's Hula-rious'.

Detail colours: Herôme W.I.C.'s 'Dakar 107', Koh's 'Coral (185)', 'No Worries (217)' and an unknown polish from the same brand.

Pastels.

't Is the season for themes I don't seem to be ascribing to. I had meant to, really, but the super sweet pastel polishes I got from my aunt were calling out to me to try them first.

I'm afraid I don't know what this particular polish is called, as its sticker is missing. A better reflection of the colour is visible in this post (I couldn't tell when I took the picture, and by the time I uploaded it from my camera it was too late.) The formula was actually pretty disappointing and it didn't cover well at all. Hurts especially for such a cute colour.

I imagine it comes as no surprise that this is the colour and nail art combination I went for. I can tell you the name of the purple however - Rabat 149. For a better idea of the real life colours I refer you back to the other post again.

Unknown Dirty Pink.

I have a confession to make. I have no clue which nail polish this is, besides - obviously - being Koh.
This polish (given to me by my aunt) is entirely devoid of all stickers, and even going through all the polishes Koh lists on their website I am no closer to finding out which one this actually is. I titled the post 'dirty pink' because that's how I interpret the colour, but it isn't their actual polish by the same name. Confusing, maybe. So, if you know which polish this is with some certainty, by all means enlighten me, because I'd very much like to know. 

Wearing this as to cut down my untried list, I didn't think too much of the colour at first. I wasn't entirely sure what colour to call it (in the lack of light in my bedroom, sometimes it's a real surprise what colour my nails actually are when I leave!) and thought it looked a bit weird with my skintone, but it's oddly growing on me now.
I'm hesitant to call this creme a nude.. it seems slightly too pink and with a hint of lilac, it's hardly 'natural'.

Took 3 coats to stop seeing a lot of nail, and it is a bit streaky.. so unless it's really, really your colour, I'm not sure I'd find it worth the price Koh slaps on their polishes.

My, my - I do apologise for two incredibly hum drum posts in a row! I'd love to sound more excited but alas, not all polishes can be magic in a bottle. Do forgive me, my dears.

Artificial light - flash.
