Konad - Classic Camel in Zebra print

Wow! I'm liking the China Glaze nail polish. Most of the China Glaze that I have tried, are easy to apply and opaque in 2 coats.

Base : OPI

Colour : China Glaze Classic Camel, 2 coat

Konad : OPI Black Onyx, Bundle monster plate
Top coat : OPI

Doesn't this looks like a hybrid of camel and zebra? Haha, so fun. I'm liking this look.

China Glaze Pelican Gray

I think Gray is a neutral colour on the nails. It looks kinda of void of emotions too, very suited for work. China Glaze Pelican Gray is light grey creme, texture is quite opaque, 2 coats is enough.

Base : OPI
Colour : China Glaze Pelican Gray, 2 coat

I was checking out the nail polish in Elianto and swatched on my nails. Beware! These Elianto stores do not provide nail polish remover. I was at the Ipoh Parade store and the salesgirl following me did not alert me about it. What's the point of following me around, Ms Blockhead? I ended up leaving the store with rainbow coloured nails and pissed. Although there are a few colours that I liked, I only bought one because of the poor staff attitude.

Elianto Sparkling Diva Nail Colour, 2 coats each.

Starting from the thumb, Tangerine Orange, Alice Blue, Glittery nikel, Aspen Green and Glitter Bronze.

So which colour did I choose? The sparkly Tangerine Orange!

Alice Blue was rather sheer, and I could still see my nail line with 2 coats. I like the Aspen Green and Glitter Bronze as well, but held back because of the poor staff attitude!

Wake up Elianto Ipoh Parade!

Canmake Crackle Lac Nail

Crackle! Canmake has 3 Crackle Lac Nail colours, blue, yellow and pink. I have tried Pink Crackle on my toes. It is matte and very easy to apply. This is handy to camouflage any chips or damaged. Pretty, like pink leopards? Forgive the dry cuticles.

Colour : Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Polish, Charcoal Grey, shade 28, 2 coats
Crackle : Canmake Crackle Lac Nail in pink, 1 coat
Top coat : OPI

Konad - Barry M nail polish

Barry M is a UK drugstore brand and this nail polish was a free gift from the magazine SHOUT. This colour is deep purple with rough glitters. Weird, there's no indication of the colour or colour code on the bottle. Although glittery polishes can last, this chip off within 2 days.
