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!

Rimmel - Hypnotise

I generally apply my nail polish at night, and polishes always look more opaque in the dark! This was 2 coats, but clearly it needed at least 3. I bought this a very long time ago, back when this was circling the big blogs about 2 or more years ago, so I'm glad I'm finally getting around to wearing it!

Rimmel - Misty Jade

Keeping on with my green theme (which ended just a few minutes ago when I painted my nails purple) is Rimmel's Misty Jade. This colour took about 3 coats for complete opacity and a smooth finish, and it is a stunner! There was no direct sunlight for today's photos, so I think my camera may have captured this colour a little bluer than it really is.
