I'm peeved. I did a fresh mani tonight. I had a mystery bottle of polish in my stash - no idea where it came from, no branding or any info on the bottle, but it's a really nice bright blue-pink/fuschia colour. I already knew from when I swatched it that the formula was pretty thin, so I did three coats, and it looked ok. All good so far. Then I went to a room with better lighting, and discovered that it was still horribly see-through! Not the desired effect. In an attempt to rescue it I added a coat of BL Fiddlesticks over the top (and a fresh topcoat, so I now have 7, yes 7 layers of polish on my nails!), as the colour is a fairly close. In my annoyance I haven't done the neatest job, and as it wasn't what I had in mind in the first place I'll probably change it again after a couple of days. The mystery polish is now in the trash, which is where it should have been all along!

I'm so jealous of everybody's hauls! I ordered some np last week, but I'll be lucky if they appear next week. Huuuuuuurryyyyyyyy Mr Postman because I need my np fix!!!

So I went to check out the Chanel polish situation at the department store that sells HE makeup at half price atm. They had new stuff. In fact they seem to have new stuff several times per week. They have this messy table and they just hide new things in plain sight. I'm getting paranoid - what have I missed - and just hate that they force me to not leave empty handed.
Today I found Chanel Pêche Nacrée, June, and April, and YSL Wintergreen, here:

I totally get you!! I've painted my nails last Monday with a horrible np. I ended up with 1 layer basecoat, 3 thick layers np, 2 layers topcoat (some nails even 3 layers). And it's still a bit see through, looks streaky and so many bubbles!!

I also threw the np away btw lol. I need to redo my nails tomorrow or the day after. I'm celebrating my birthday this Sunday and I WILL NOT have this awful mani on my nails!!

Today's mani is Illamasqua's Freckle----I liked it better than the lavender one, Speckle. It's a great neutral (looks more tan IRL) around which I built my outfit and makeup for the day.
