This is the last Claire's mood polish I bought. I also think I took this picture in, uh, August, so I had a hard time making the color change show up in pictures. But this polish is FABULOUS! It changes from medium blue to a deep cobalt.
And now the world's laziest nail blogger has made another post. :D
I also broke a nail today for the first time EVER, so I came home and cut my nails off super, super short.
This is one of the newer mood polishes from Claire's. It changes from peach to coral depending on the temperature. Peach is the warm color, while coral is the cool color. I had a hard time capturing this one, so pardon the indoors photographs with wet hands. :) It was so hot here in August that I would only get the warm color if I took these outside!
In all honesty, this is pretty, but applying it was a hot streaky mess. Gluggy and streaky and just.. yuck. And it chipped within a day. :(
I know I've spent most of the last few months apologizing for my lapses in posting. So I won't do it again. I haven't lost interest in nail polish, but I am trying to keep my spending at a reasonable level, and sometimes it's just a pain to crank out a post. :) But I still have a massive backlog of pictures. Oh well. This is a blog. It's a hobby, not a job (I have a job!) for me, so I'll post when I get around to it. If this blog were making me money, I'd probably be a little more diligent!
FINALLY! I got my pictures uploaded and now I'm totally going to spam you with pictures of Claire's Mood Polish. This polish is pretty sensitive to temperature, and each polish had a "cold" color and a "hot" color. What happened with me was that the color on my nailbed tended to be the "hot" color, while my tips would be the "cold" color. Instant funky french manicure! I thought it was pretty cool. :)
There are five colors in this collection: Wild/Calm - A pink/purple with lots of shimmer, and my personal favorite of the bunch Innocent/Daring - Grey/beige-ish-mustard-ish-yellow-ish.. I don't think there is a person alive who would look good wearing that ugly ass beige/mustard yellow color. Peaceful/Confident - Teal/Blue. Pretty enough, but the color change was extremely subtle. Fabulous/Funky - Magenta/Neon Pink. This was wayyy more neon than I was expecting! Happy/Earthy - Green/Neon Yellow. This one was BRIGHT. I mean, like, highlighter bright.
I took a few photos of each. Enjoy the picspam!
Wild/Calm - purple is the "cold" color and pink is the "hot" color.
Innocent/Daring. YECH.
Peaceful/Confident. I had a fairly hard time trying to photograph this one.
Fabulous/Funky. In the first pic, you can see where I dipped my pointer finger and middle finger in cold water to try to make the color difference really visible. This one was also difficult to photograph.
EDIT. I totally forgot to add the Happy/Earthy photos. OOPS! Here you go:
