Miscellaneous Sorbet Nails - NOTD

I am sorry. This is going to be yet another of these posts showcasing a limited edition product from the past. Meet 'Sorbet', a mini (4ml instead of usual 10ml) nail polish from Boots No7, released ages ago as part of a gift set.





This is a very unusual polish which I think would divide the opinion. I'm actually on the fence myself. Sorbet is a nudy coral polish with a strong iridescence of green. I am not a fan of coral (although orange is one of my favourite colours) and I would not pair it together with green. Would you do a duo tone yellow and blue polish?: probably not, because it would be a rather odd mix. I think that’s why this polish confuses me.

But I cannot help myself from being mesmerised by this sorbet, moving my fingers from side to side and admiring the powerful green shimmer. This polish applies very very sheer, so I layered 2 (very hastily applied) coats of sorbet over a coat of missguided miscellaneous nude polish.



 







Which side of the fence are you? Likey or no likey?

Miscellaneous Mannequin Manicure (NOTD)

I was so impressed by the Splash Missfit nail polish, which came out as a freebie in the Cosmopolitan magazine this month that I wanted to check out another shade to see how it performed. So I bought another magazine (£3.50) just to have the chance to test trial another nail polish from Splash and chose to buy their nude shade called ‘Miscellaneous’.

My first impressions? The word is Miscellaneous is super difficult to write and pronounce, the nude mannequin trend is definitely not me, but oh my goodness the formula yet again was a dream to apply. Just the right amount of thickness, and totally opaque in 2 coats. (n.b please excuse the nail of my index finger, it has a mind of its own and just flops for no reason, making the nail looking all pointy)





If you like this kind of colour, get your hands quick on this polish before the magazine runs out, you won’t be disappointed: great formula, great finish. I’ve got 2 magazines to read now, but my trial run was a success and I can’t wait for Splash (Missguided) to come out with other shades as the 6 shades from the website are not for me (too cremy) Great value for a £5 polish. Very impressed.
