Nail Polish Collection: Misc. ''Cheaper'' Polishes [January 2013]

Next up I have the rest of my "cheaper" (chemist/drugstore) brands. I say cheaper in quotation because the Sally Hansen CSM is almost the same price as Essie and OPI here in Australia, but the rest of the polishes included here tend to be under $10.

NOTE: I have to mention that I took all my photos in a crudely made lightbox. Well, I don't think you could call it a lightbox...it's two planks of white painted wood and a lamp with a daylight globe! So whilst I tried to get these as colour accurate as I could, some colours may be just a tad off. I'll try to let you know when that happens, otherwise just google image the colour you were looking at. Also, I took these photos freehand so I'm sorry that some are a little crooked..I hope it doesn't bother you as much as it bothered me!

Essence - The Dawn is Broken

I don't own many proper greys so I decided to try Essence's 'The Dawn is Broken' because it wasn't just a flat grey colour. Whilst I thought it was unique and pretty cool in the bottle, it really didn't do much for my fingers. I got a slight case of lobster hands, and the black glitter just didn't pick up that well after I'd put on a top coat.
