OPI - Can't Find My Czechbook

Muted blue creme  




Can't Find My Czechbook (I do groan at some of these OPI polish names, perhaps that's the point?!) is a muted turquoise leaning blue creme.  IRL this was slightly more green than the pictures show.

Swatch shown is 2 coats with no top coat and you can see it's not super shiny.

Application was slightly streaky but it ended up ok.  And it's a mini bottle from the Euro Minis collection of four shades.

Topshop - Airplane


Dusky blue creme

Last in the current run of TopShop polishes is Airplane...





Airplane is a slightly dusky, muted blue creme.  I really like this colour.

This is a perfect polish if you want to make a statement but are short on time, it's a one-coat wonder and super shiny!

So far all the Topshop polishes I've tried have been great - count me impressed

Anyone agree? or did I just get lucky?

Nails Inc - Great Windmill Street

Soft muted pink creme

Next in the pinks is Great Windmill Street






Great Windmill Street is a soft muted pink creme that has a slightly jelly/squishy finish and was also a little streaky, which took 3 coats to even out and you can still see a hint of vnl in the pics

This reminds me of a Zoya polish, Piper?  although I think that may have been more milky and opaque.

I like it but wish it wasn't a 3-coater...

Misslyn - Kiwi 551


Green shimmer with gold microglitter






Oooh, isn't this lovely...

Kiwi is a slightly drab, muted green shimmer with fine gold microglitter.

Swatch shown is 2 coats with no top coat.  Like the other Misslyn's this doesn't dry super shiny so would benefit from a nice shiny topcoat.

This is probably my favourite of the Misslyns I own, all 4 of them!  And I don't think I have anything like it.
