Okay, first, the haul. I got these for free. Well, sort of. These were from a nice lady who sells nail polish on eBay, and I got these fresh, never been used, brand-new polishes from a swap with her. I was giddy with excitement when I saw the polishes. The shades are beautiful. They are just the perfect fall shades - dark and vampy and festive, but there is a midtone mauve thrown in the mix. I also got a pretty light milk chocolate color from OPI called
Chocolate Moose - it's a cousin of
Los Angeles Latte, except that the former has no shimmer (cream formula) and is lighter. It just looks like chocolate milk on the nails.
I love
Chocolate Moose! It really looks clean on the nails.
The swatch suggests that
Ruby Pumps has a lot of warm undertones, but in real life, it is a lot cooler. Since it is bright and flashy, I don't think I could ever wear these on my tips but this would look beautiful on the toes especially for the holidays.
This is a gorgeous vampy, dark berry color that reminds me of my MAC cremesheen lipstick in
Hang Up. I'd love to pair both one time. This color would be beautiful on both tips and toes.
(How long do nail polishes last in the bottle before they start drying out (such as it becomes thicker and gooey)? does it change from brand to brand - and is it true that good brands like china glaze or OPI last longer?)
