Today's post is a polish that just screamed spring when I saw it in the shop, but unfortunately it's a mess formula-wise.
Bye, Bye Birdy! is a lovely, lovely pastel yellow, which should probably have told me that the formula wasn't going to be awesome. This is three coats and, honestly, the pictures make it look better than it did in person - if I were to actually wear this I would probably add a fourth coat to really even it out. It does dry very quickly, though, so that probably wouldn't be a problem.
I really like this colour, but application was just such a pain in the backside that I don't think I'll wear this very often. Seriously, this was a hot mess on my nails - streaky, gloopy, sticky. (There's a sad smiley in my swatching notes, which basically means it was semi-abysmal. :P)
On a different note, I discovered a new brand today - Anny - and got two colours. I'm thinking one might be a dupe for Chanel Paradoxal, which I adore, but refuse to buy because of Chanel's rubbish nail polish. Swatches coming soon.
Have a good week everyone!
The color is really beautiful, but pastels are always a pain. Why can't they make non-gloopy pastels. Boo! :(
ReplyDelete@Varnish Vixen: I don't get it either. You'd think they'd manage a nicer formula at some point. :(
