Smurfing Hell...

I don't normally write bad reviews here, generally because I tend to try and only use awesome products, so I'm sorry if this is oddly negative for me.

I've been curious about "Suede Effect" polish for a long time. I don't usually like textured polish and I was wary of spending Nails Inc prices to try it, so when I spotted some "W7" polish in my local Xtras for £2.99 I decided to give it a try, in Aqua.

I was actually quite impressed at first, nice coverage, and it seemed to last pretty well considering there was no top coat...Though the only photograph I have of it on is the pic I took to show the first chipping three days after I put it on.

I liked the colour, the effect was pretty good, not so suedey, more like matte polish but with shimmer? Anyway, I did like it.
 
DID.
 
Then, I tried to take it off. I'm only grateful that I tried to remove it a couple of days before we went away on holiday, and not the night before like I usually do, to re-do my nails for my trip.
 
After 30 MINUTES and half a bottle of nail polish remover (no word of a lie), this is what I ended up with.
 
 
 
 
 
The pictures really don't do it justice. My fingers are still blue. It won't come off. This is completely ridiculous. I have removed polishes of every different colour and NEVER had one this bad...It won't come off even after soaking my fingers in remover (so now my fingers are dry AND blue).
 
Safe to say I will NOT be buying cheap sh!t polish again any time soon!!

 Have I mentioned that I am totally in love with Maybelline Colour Show Polka Dots polish? Because I am.
 
 
This time I applied the pink over Barry M 294 "Cyan Blue", with a coat of Nails Inc Glamour Glitter over the top.

Last one of the day, I promise. More beautiful Barry M glitter, this time "Amethyst" glitter. It's very similar to my very favourite polish ever, "Mad As A Hatter" by OPI. Love it!

This was for my friend's "Mad Men" themed hen party. We were girls in pearls, and I wanted nail art to match!

Please disregard the ring finger (and the polished fingers, this was pre-tidy-up) :S It went horribly wrong. I didn't go out with it like that, I re-did it, but unfortunately I don't have a photograph of the new version.

Nearly done, I promise. This was a trial for my friend's wedding in a couple of weeks.

I got this idea from one of the Butter nail art tutorials on AOL. I don't have any Butter polishes (I would love to review them...*hint hint*), so this is done with Nails Inc. I love how it turned out!

Nails Inc: London (Diet Coke freebie), Glamour Glitter (Glamour magazine freebie) (base colours), and the dots are Elizabeth Street, Spittalfields, Portobello Market, Bluebell (InStyle magazine freebie) and Power Pink (InStyle magazine freebie). The black is just stock Barry M black.

Another of my favourite glitters, Nicki Minaj "Metallic4Life". True story, to buy this in the shop in the UK it would be about £18. Bought it in Florida last year, not reduced or on offer, for $8. Yes, I did buy two bottles!!
