Rimmel Apricot Punch update

This colour is wearing so well, I have minimal tip wear and no chipping.

These photos show the true colour of the polish.

Repaint: Rimmel ~ Fruities ~ Apricot Punch

Absolutely adore this colour! Just bought it today and I am so happy with it.

Rimmel "Fruities" Apricot Punch




It looks a lot more orange on my nails in this photo than it actually looks. The colour when painted is closer to the colour of the bottle of polish in the photo.

Repaint: Orly ~ Iron Butterfly

Love this colour. It is a matte deep charcoal shimmer
but I have used a top coat so it has more of a shine to it.

It only needs one coat but as I did a poor job of the first one,
I did two coats.

One coat:



2 coats with top coat:

OPI ~ Chocolate Moose

Didn't think I'd love this colour as much as I do! Looks much better on than in the bottle.

Repaint: Revitanail ~ Miss Scarlet

Another messy manicure thanks to a very shaky right hand. I'm thinking that doing manicures is good for regaining strength and muscle control in my wrist after the operation so am continuing on with them... Even though they're messy!

This is "Miss Scarlet" by Revitanail. It's meant to be a strengthening polish. This is 3 coats and I can still see the whites of my nail tips through the polish. I really need to start undercoating red polishes with grey.

Repaint: China Glaze ~ Metro Collection ~ Urban Night

My nails are terribly short as I cut them short prior to having carpal tunnel surgery the week before last. It was all very sudden due to a cancellation and as the surgery was on my right hand I have struggled to paint my nails neatly as the ligament across the base of my palm was cut! So please excuse the mess!

This is from China Glaze's Fall 2011 Metro Collection and is called Urban Night.
