Try it on Tuesday: But it looks so pretty in the bottle...

This week I wanted to break into my oldie polishes once again, but I have so many of them that I was having a difficult time choosing just one. So instead, I made my boyfriend pick one :)

He just happened to pick one of my generic polishes, shown in the following photo. It is part of a collection of polishes I received as a Christmas present from my sister many years ago. Surprisingly, many of the polishes look really pretty.

The polish I tried out today is the third on in the back row in the previous photo. After trying it out, I now remember exactly why these polishes have gone untouched for so long. They look so pretty, don't they? I'm having trouble finding a good way to describe this polish.. it's kind of a dusty raspberry or even dusty rose color, but it has lots of shimmer. In fact, in some light, it even looks metallic or maybe even chrome.

The color may be gorgeous, but the formula is awful. It was very streaky, clumpy and it didn't dry well at all. The tips of each of my fingernails is now ruined from smudging. What's really weird about this polish is when I applied the top coat, the tips took on almost a matte finish. Weirdest thing I've seen.

See how much it smudged on my pink? It did this on all of my nails, without even really touching them or anything!

It such a shame this polish doesn't apply well, because the color is so gorgeous! I definitely need a dupe of this polish, any ideas?
