L-R: China Glaze Ingrid, OPI Black Onyx, China Glaze Seashell and China Glaze IV

Individual swatches and description time!

Essie Not Just a Pretty Face

This one was so sheer on the first coat and it looked pretty good with the second coat one but this is 3 coats to make it more opaque and to bring its true colour out. Not streaky at all and it was easy to paint on! It's such a pretty princess pink and it makes me feel so girlie! It would look absolutely fab with some Bring on the Bling french tips!

OPI Tickle My France-y

Please ignore the middle finger and focus on the ring finger! The colour's darker in real life and tends towards a light lilac/brown. It's a good nude and has a colour of its own. Totally not mannequin nails at all. This again is 3 coats but it was pretty good in 2! Not streaky and it applied like a dream!

OPI Dulce de Leche

It's a pinker and warmer version of Tickle My France-y. 3 coats once again and it was good in 2 coats. I did 3 only because I blotched the 2nd coat and wanted to cover it up! In fact, it looks a little too thick with 3 coats on. It applied like butter and it's a really nice neutral colour. It's not too pink, and maybe you could describe it as a really light pink mauve?

And I have to say, none of the above 3 colours look the same. They're in the same nude family but they're all different to me. I think to an untrained eye, if I wore the 3 colours consecutively as a manicure, people will not think I changed my colour but they're pretty different from each other in my eyes.

China Glaze Ingrid

This one is a pretty brown with gold shimmer in it. The shimmer isn't very obvious indoors but under the light, it's amazing! It's like a secret shimmer only for the wearer to see! 2 coats here.

Fired the flash to bring out the shimmer!

This is a comparison with OPI's You Don't Know Jacques, which is on my thumb. They're seriously not the same colour, even without the shimmer. Ingrid is warmer and browner.

Again, with the flash, which makes them look even more different!

OPI Black Onyx

A simple black creme. Nothing special, just a solid black. This will come in handy when I'm feeling a little more punk and want to rock my chunky silver rings!

China Glaze Seashell

My first application with it was HORRIBLE. It was such a streaky mess, even upon the third coat. But I removed it and reswatched it and it turned out much better. 3 coats here. Please ignore the markings on my nails, I went to bed and woke up with blanket marks. This is TOTALLY not a mannequin nail as some websites suggested. It's a solid peachy pink and I'll wear it when I feel very bubbly!

China Glaze IV

It's a really vibrant pink shade without being shocking. it's brighter in real life and this was 3 coats. I'd day it's near Orly's Pixie Stix but more towards the pink side. I think this would look great when alternated with China Glaze Flyin' High! I don't know if I'm able to rock this colour on all ten of my fingers but it'll definitely make my nails more attention grabbing than normal!

-----------------------------------------------------------

So, what do you think? Nice? I know it's a lot of pink, which is really unlike me but I was going through a pink phase and I just needed to have them. S said that in this collection, I amassed a pink family equivalent to her blue one! But but but, there's just one more pink I need to have. OPI Bubble Bath. The legendary pink that all french manicures are made off. It'd make my princess mani dreams come true!

Till next time!
