Oh dear Lord where do I begin with this nail polish? Is it a neon? Not quite. Is it matte? Not quite. Does it look nice on me? Uh, NO! I think someone with a different skin tone might be able to pull this off. I’m just too dark for this to look ok. Taking pictures of it was like climbing Mt. Everest. It also had a sort of weird formula that dried kind of fast like a neon but it was pretty pigmented. It did pull and create bald spots when I didn’t let it dry enough before applying another coat. In order to even it out, I applied 3 coats.
These first three pictures were taken with flash. It washed out the color somewhat.
Please excuse the cuticle oil. I neglected to massage it in well enough which makes my fingers look like greasy sausages. I took the following pictures with natural light and they just look icky. My skin looks so grey.
I am so not happy with this color. I am going to leave it on my nails because I’d rather have this color on than nothing at all. I was wearing Mysterious Curse on my nail,s but I ruined them when I gave myself a pedicure. Not smart.
The gym was alright last night. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and then walked 2 miles on the treadmill. It was ok as my first workout. When I got home, I had a massive headache. I thought I would sleep like a baby, but I didn’t really. I actually had a very difficult time tossing and turning all night. The other night I had a dream that I was in a psych ward and that Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) was my doctor. He was tearing us down patient by patient and when he got to me, I got so mad that I grabbed his cane and started beating him with it. Then someone picked up this big sink looking thing and threw it out the window like The Chief in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. We all stood there staring–I even stopped beating Dr. House. That’s the last thing I remember.
I doubt I’ll wear this color again; maybe I will just use it for designs and stuff. Essie deception. You looked so pretty in the bottle.
Is this a pink… Or a coral? On the bright side, these photos give your fingers a nice tan!
It's definitely more of a coral. I like to think of it as cantaloupe. I wish I had liked it better because I thought it looked so good in the bottle. Since this looked so close to Tart Deco in the bottle, I wonder if it will look the same on my nails. I better not risk it.
I actually like the color and it looks nice on you. In your pictures the color looks like a decent neutral when you don't want naked nails. And by the way, your skin does not come across as gray, just nicely tanned.
Yay for the workout…keep it up. 🙂
Maybe it's my monitor because my fingers definitely look gray to me. lol I don't know what it is about this color that isn't quite convincing me. It's pretty different from the usual colors I wear so maybe I'm just getting used to it.
Ay…the workouts are killing me right now. I'm all sore and stuff but I know that once I get over the beginner's hump, I'll feel fan-freaking-tastic. 🙂

Easing into workouts is a good idea. Don't kill yourself like I did, lol!! This color is and odd mixture of chalky and shiny. I don't know. I guess I am neither here nor there about it.
That's a good description. I think it looks different in real life but I still don't think it suits my skin color. I'm probably just saying that because it's not purple or teal and I want to change my nails already. ha!

I remember seeing this color in stores and thinking it was ok and I really liked the name so I kinda wanted it. Now after seeing these pics and hearing about it I think it's kinda gross. It's a weird color, and I don't know that it looks bad on you but it's just not that pretty period. And I loved your greasy sausage comment. I L'dOL for sure! Yours weren't too bad some people look like they smear a gallon of crisco on their fingers or just dug to the bottom of a barrel of bacon before they take pics. Yech. I know nothing about giveaways so I can't help ya there. I've been thinking about one but kinda wanna wait till I switch to .com in stead of .wordpress blah blah blah. :-/
haha at the gallon of crisco. That is so true and I don't get it. But then again, sometimes I think the cuticle oil is almost gone and then my pics look like the exxon-valdez oil spill when I upload them. Ugh!
How complicated, if at all, is it to go to being a .com? I should have done that since the beginning, but I wasn't sure if I was really going to stick with blogging when I first started.
Yeah, I'm so disappointed with this color. I don't know what it is about it that just doesn't look right to me. Oh well…can't win them all!
