day two hundred and fifty seven, gosh blue monday


don't forget to change your links! today is the last .blogspot post, they will all be on dailypolish.com starting tomorrow!


okay. i take back every bad thing i said about gosh polishes. i am now convinced my gasoline was a bad bottle. i took a chance and bought another gosh polish despite my bad experience from last time and i'm REALLY glad i did! i LOVE this colour!! blue monday is a blue polish with blue, silver and purple microglitter mixed in and it sparkles something beautiful on your fingers. i was soooo happy with this one, i just kept moving my fingers around to see the different coloured sparkles reflecting!

i did need 3 coats for this one...i might've gotten away with 2 but i went with three because that's my preferred choice!

gosh polishes are available (at least in the UK) from superdrug and cost £5.xx (i think maybe £5.85?? i can't remember!)

day two hundred and twenty eight, gosh gasoline


alright...this is a really disappointing one for me, i was crushed. after seeing swatches of this polish on http://www.lacquerized.com i thought i had found the ultimate polish to end all polishes...a purple flake! and while that's what it is in the bottle...i don't know if it is me or the bottle or this one batch..but it was a DISASTER. it was so runny and poorly pigmented and even with thin coats it kept pooling at the top of my fingers and so it wasn't distributing well across the nail. i put on about 5 coats and it was STILL patchy and ugh. i think i gave up on 7 coats. it came out okay-ish...as in i finally got even opacity across my fingers but the application and formula was a total nightmare. not to mention that with 7 coats getting it to actually dry was impossible. so it messed up constantly because there was too much polish to ever harden. it is a huge shame because if it had worked out i am not sure i could've ever worn another polish again! it sparkles beyond BELIEF! i took a video to show it off...but as this is the first gosh polish i've ever used and i paid almost £6 and for that price? i expect something fantastic. and this isn't the first instance of bad gosh polish applications i've heard about so i really don't think it's me!
