Claire's Mood polishes!
I decided to swatch my other absolutely awesome Claire's Mood polishes that Chris sent me in our swap while my nails were long. I used to like my nails long but now I can't stand them too long for an extended time (probably because of work). I decided to use Seche Base to see if it would help with the streaking issues I had with Awesome/Silly. Unfortunately for me, it didn't help and I should have read Chris' tip to use some thinner BEFORE swatching them lol ;) For next time! I also didn't use topcoat for these swatches. I know you guys will have seen loads of these swatches but I just have to share so bare with me =) Please excuse my very dry hands and cuticles!
First up is Excited/Bored which is a bright orange/coral and light orange/coral creme combination. This would be fantastic in summer, can't wait for it to be warmer here so I can rock this colour! I found it quite thick and streaky to work with but 3 coats did the trick. I love the fact that all the Mood polishes dry super quickly so 3 coats isn't too much pain!
Excited (when cold):

Bored (when warm):
Then we have Calm/Wild which is a gorgeous shimmery purple and pink combination. This is my favourite of the 5 that Chris sent me! Both colours are so pretty and the silver shimmer is gorgeous! Plus I found it the easiest to work with and I only needed to use 2 coats. I wore this as a full mani after swatching the others!

Wild (when warm):
Happy/Earthy is a bright green and almost neon yellow combination. The green is really funky but it's very in your face green and the yellow is so bright!! I had some real difficulties with the formula on this one, very thick and streaky. Below is 3 (quite wonky) coats. Unfortunately I don't really like this colour combination on me.

Lastly I have for you Fabulous/Funky which is a bright pink and neon pink combination. The colour change for Fabulous/Funky isn't as noticeable as the other colours unfortunately but still very pretty. I found the formula streaky but not as difficult as Happy/Earthy and below is 3 coats to get rid of VNL and streaks.

Thanks for looking! =)

ReplyDeleteExcellent swatching pictures. I'm glad you like them. It is too bad that mood polish comes with the thick n' streaky price and the pita we pay for wearing it. But definitely worth it to me. :)
