Rimmel Misty Jade + glitter gradient

I swatched this a while ago but it's been languishing at the back of my photos folder, because winter is no time for pastels. But it's warming up just a tad here, and spring is finally around the corner... Rimmel Misty Jade, 2 coats with Seche Vite:


Misty? No. Jade? Well it depends what light it's in! I've never seen a creme change so much depending on whether it's wet or dry, or what topcoat it's under, or what time of day it is. Weird!

I did a gold glitter gradient on top of it a while ago by coaxing Essence Make It Golden on top with a cotton bud, here's the result:


I think it's a really nice shade to have, and quells the For Audrey urges somewhat... if only it'd stay one consistent colour!

    Winter?? Where do you live? It's summer here! Anyway, this is a gorgeous color, and the gold glitter really makes it pop! Reminds me of the beach.

    I love the blue and gold combination! By the pictures, it seems a tad brighter than For Audrey. Very pretty.

    Oooh I have that essence polish! I find it a little difficult to use because it's pretty thick, and I have to use quite a few coats to get that density of glitter. Did it cause you any problems?

    @Kelly - Australia! It's started to warm up a bit though, I wore shorts yesterday and today :)

    @Lynn - Thanks! :) I'e worn it a bit too many times though, trying to move away from gold glitter gradients now... it's hard though!

    @Deborah - Gold and teal are great together, aren't they? :)

    @Krissy - I was so close to not buying it... so glad I did! :)

    @Shelby - :O You don't have Rimmel? I feel like I have something to offer US swappers now! :D

    @The Nail Artiste - Possibly... I need to wear this to the CG store to check!

    @FedoraHarp - I applied it using a cotton swab - the cotton absorbs some of the goopy base :)

    @Em - It really is! I'm liking it more every time I wear it.

    @sandipalien - I was hoping someone would mention that! I'm so proud :)
