Falling Star was a bit dull and a bit gritty without top coat, but that is truly it's only fault, and a coat of Seche Vite fixed it right up. I wore this for four days with one small chip on the third day and a tiny bit of tipwear, which is an eon for me lately - I can't remember the last time I got polish to last that long on me AND actually wanted to wear it for that long. The pictures here were taken, I believe, on the fourth day of wear. As far as picture accuracy, the base is a bit more dusty than the pictures show, and the polish as a whole is much more vibrant and gorgeous in real life. The glitter isn't always in your face (not that there's anything wrong with that...Mad as a Hatter, anyone?), but it's definitely there.
Falling Star is absolutely one of my top five nail polishes now - and that may be a theme this week, because I got GOSH Holograhpic in a giveaway, it arrived Friday, and I'm wearing it now. I'm waiting for the sun to come out for me to take pictures, but I hope that happens at some point this week. If not, I may go ahead and post it anyway because it's absolutely amazing.
Aaaand, finally, here are a couple of new nail polish blogs I found this week - they are both definitely worth reading, and they both have some great nail art. Check 'em out!
