Somewhere over the rainbow, little ducklings fly…
I finally caved in to the allure of a slightly extended 3-for-2 offer in Superdrug, the proximity of two lemmings in one space, the fact that buying an item of makeup in Oxford still feels slightly more special than doing so in Nottingham, and my boyfriend’s eagerness for me to make my mind up already, and bought a bottle of Gosh Rainbow and Sleek MakeUp’s Storm eyeshadow pallette, as well as a Sleek mascara to try out. The eyeshadows will be blogged when I’ve tried out a few more of the colours. The photos above are the Rainbow worn over my otherwise buck nekkid nails, blurred a bit to show the sparkliness to slightly better effect. I may try to photograph the polish again when worn over something dark.
Anyway, since the photos don’t show it to its full effect, Rainbow is a clear polish with varying sizes of flat glitter. Under some lights the glitter just looks like gold leaf, which is pretty cool in itself but then under other lights it flicks between gold, orange, pink, green and the odd fleck of blue, which is even better. Wearing it over naked nails, even two coats, is a bit of a private pleasure since it isn’t immediately obvious - yes I do plan to try that at work, why do you ask? I also want to try it over black pretty soon, and as concealed bling over a pale gold. Who am I kidding, I want to layer this over every damn colour I have…
