Nails Du Jour Pilot

One of my recent obsessions have been nail polish, and I've been shopping a whole lot at nailfiesta.com. Love that site as they have a wide selection of OPI, China Glaze and Orly nail polish (not to mention reasonable price and excellent service). They seem to have the latest collection too (based on my personal research using Google)! Anyway there are LOADS of nail swatches and reviews out there so I'm not going to talk so much here. Just a swatch to show you how it looks like. FYI I have a slight warm skin tone (I'm Chinese: yellow) so you can use me as a guide if you are Chinese and shopping for nail polish online and want to match your nails with your skin colour.

So without further ado, here's the first of my Nails Du Jour series featuring OPI's Do You Think I'm Tex-y? It kinda has a raspberry/coral mix to it with jelly ('sorbert'  if you want to use the 'proper' term OPI uses but it looks more like JELLY to me) finish - which I super love! The colour comes out differently under different lighting though. Under natural light it looks more orangey - but otherwise it's more pinkish and raspberry.

FYI:

1. This is 3 coats (jellies are very sheer - understandably so)
2. I didn't use a top coat
3. This lasted me for about 4 days (I do stuff like dishes & ironing)

Natural Light

With flash - quite different right?

The jelly/ sorbert finish does make your skin look fairer and your fingers kinda edible. Hehe. I have gummy bears on my fingers now. Yumm/.. ^_^ . I've ordered more stuff from Nailfiesta.com including two more jellies. Stay tuned..
