NOTD: P2 Dangerous

Just a quick NOTD post. Had to try one of the new polishes, had a hard time deciding which one but finally settled on P2 Dangerous, a nice dark dusty teal.
It was super shiny and pretty this morning but after a day at work it's far from as shiny. But it didn't chip and there's no tipwear so it definitely wears well!

It's more teal in reality, the bottle color is more accurate. Snapped this picture after work so imagine it being much more shiny :P


This polish was really pigmented, could have gotten away with only one coat. But it was kind of thick and didn't apply that smoothly. Since it's my first time using a P2 polish I don't know if its only my bottle or if it's the formula, will add some thinner before I use it next time though. Had to do 2 coats to smooth it all out. I liked the brush, it's a little wider than a regular brush, but not shaped as the OPI brushes. Still a nice brush though, easy to work with. Overall I'm happy and surprised by the quality of this drugstore polish. Seems to be long wearability too, since I can hardly tell I've been at work other than the shine is pretty much gone but that could be fixed with some topcoat and it'd look like new!

NOTD: China Glaze DV8

Hi everyone!
Now when I got the crappy virgin post out of the way it'll hopefully only get better from here!
Time for my first NOTD! Yay!
Today I'm wearing DV8 from China Glaze's OMG collection. It's a gorgeous teal with holographic shimmer.
The forumla is great and it was opaque in 2 thin coats. I've read some complaints that the polishes from the OMG collection chip easily, this is nothing I have experienced. I always use 2 coats of base (1 coat Nailtek f.II + 1 coat Orly Bonder) and top the mani off with a thick coat of Poshe, and I never had any chipping problems. Wears the same as any other polish.

Now, pictures! (All pictures are clickable)

Not sure what the "fuzz" on my index finger is, probably just the light cause I sure didn't see any when I snapped the picture.

This polish is truly awesome, I love the whole collection in fact. I mean, how can you resist a holo?

That's all I had for you today!
Until next time, have a good one!
