Strawberry...?

Since in the last post I mentioned Avon polish, I realised I still have swatches of this brand to show. So why not to break the gloominess of these days with a blazing shade of Avon Strawberry? :) 

As it was the case with Barielle Grape Escape, the colour of Avon Strawberry doesn't have to do much with the real fruit colour. Nevertheless, it's a pretty magenta creme, very glossy and quite pleasant in application. Actually, it's a 1-coater, but most probably you see 2 coats on the picture - I often do so to prolong the polish wear.

What I liked about the shade is that it's bright enough to attract attention, yet neither neon nor vulgar. Surely I'll give it a try during the sunny summer days :)

Later I stamped my nails with BM-315 and got a somewhat mediocre result, but okay, I promised myself to post in this blog everything which is not a total epic fail. And yes - one of the rarest times when I was shooting the pictures under the indoor light. Winter doesn't provide us with too much day time to swatch, unfortunately.

Paisley

Second time I am trying out my Bundle Monster plates. The positive impression only becomes more positive! Seriously, even the designes with fine details stamp very well. Such as this paisley pattern on BM-315, or as I normally call it - "cucumbaaa" : )

And just to be precise, the base colour you see is NOT black. Yes Love #504 is a dark dark dark aubergine shade, which - to my big surprise dried matte! Like this: 

Then I looked at it for some minutes, and generously poured with top coat. I think I like it better this way :)

And finally, it's my first and only shade which is black_but _not_really_black.. Myself I wouldn't probably buy it. But lovely Akuma Kanji sent it to me as an extra in our swap, and I'm really greatful for her choice, because all in all I liked how it looks on me - also nice on toes in winter :)
