Hello dear readers,
How are you today? Did you have a good weekend?
Here's the polish I've chosen for today's base, Bourjois in Bleu Asphalte which I won in May:
This is the first and only Bourjois polish I've tried and I was really pleased with the application. This is two coats:
The only drawback was the tip shrinkage I got after using Seche Vite. I am so fed up of that topcoat now, can't wait to move on to another brand.
Now I don't know why I chose this colour because it's not exactly work-appropriate. Yes, my college days are over for the moment and I'm back at work :-(
However, once choosing this inappropriate colour, I got carried away and did some inappropriate stamping using China Glaze Peace on Earth (an olive green) and Mash plate m73.
What do you think? I like the colours together and I like the pattern but I'm not sure either colour suits me.
All feedback is appreciated :-)Bye for now,
Laura
woah, that is really cool. did you free hand the designs?! that's sooooo good.

@Carrie, thanks! No way could I freehand that, lol, my freehanding skills are awful. No, I stamped the design using a Mash image plate
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn´t this be work appropriate ? It looks awesome, and with the stamping you made it look so elegant :)
ReplyDelete@Alexandra, thanks!
ReplyDelete@Theodora, thanks :-) I'm just not sure about the colours though. I always have to analyse my clients and see what colours/designs I think I can get away with whilst still appearing professional in their eyes
That is a very nice colour and the stamping is GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteI own 2 Boujois, and one of them is from the "So Laque!" collection (mine is called Cerise Noire). That's a great polish! Great application, great formula, amazing shine. Too bad they're beyond expensive!
Hugs!!!
@Cristina, thank you :-) Yeh, the price definitely puts me off from buying from this range though I might still be tempted to try one from the range that claims to last 10 days!
ReplyDeleteThe colour combination is very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe stamping really comes forward..

@Sara, thank you! It's the first time I've worn such a dark grey (bleu asphalte, whatever)
@Beautyshades, I agree, clear stamping makes me happy :-)
