Ancient tropical sun

Here's a shocker for you. Did you ever think the alizarine was going to wear anything like this? No, me neither. The polish I couldn't stand for more than a couple of hours: Models Own Tropical Sun. Shot in evening sun.



Three coats. Rather sheer, as earlier reports have already shown. A pink base with a shitload of orange shimmer and silver micro glitter bits. Really pretty in theory and bottle, but damn it made me feel like I was at least 70 years old. Not that I have anything against elderly ladies, but this isn't me in any aspect at all.

Supposedly a duochrome, but it doesn't show very well. There is perhaps a slight greenish tint to to shimmer in an extreme angle, but I really couldn't see it. There was just this almost frosty glow on my nails that made me feel like a 70's secretary. Goes in the swap pile.

Swedish word of the day:
tropisk -adjective tropical
Perhaps.

  6. Ohhh, I hope I like it more than you did at least - I just ordered it actually, only because I wanted Indian Ocean which was sold out as a single but still available in the set of 3! lol
