It's not that it's not pretty. There's a kinda frosty thing going on, but not in a bad way. It's just that it's not at all what I was expecting. Not even kinda. Look at it in this post by polish insomniac and tell me this is even the same polish. I bought it from a seller on Storenvy and I don't hold it against her, but I have strong suspicions that this is a salon franken. Where the hell did that blue come from otherwise, and where's the copper? Ugh. At least I got it for "only" $10, which isn't bad at all for a VHTF OPI, but now I'm thinking I might buy another bottle if one ever pops up. Bleh. Oh well. This is two coats, by the way.
Peel me some sour grapes. Boo. I figured I might as well try to "fix" it and bring it more in line with my original expectations, so I threw some CND Copper Shimmer over top.
That's more like it, especially in the fading sunlight...
...and when the copper really pops.
Do you have PMaGG? Did I get a "bad" bottle or what?
Yeah... I'm not sure that bottle hasn't been messed with or something. It looks more like Catherine the Grape than PMaGG. Mine looks like PI's. Honestly, I don't wear it as much as I thought I would. I lusted after it FOREVER and finally got my mitts on it and it was like oh... that's pretty. NEXT! LOL I think I might actually like Contrary Polish's Desert Fruit a bit more!
ReplyDeleteI think someone jacked w/ your bottle because mine looks like Polished Insomniac's, although the purple in mine is slightly faded/dustier than hers. Course that post is six years old, so perhaps mine is just showing her age!
