During my boring weekly grocery shopping trip last night at Woolworths (big grocery shopping chain here in Australia) the trolley just happened to "accidentally
I swear it did it all by itself, pinky swear! :-)
" turn into the makeup section... I swear it did it all by itself, pinky swear! :-)
Anyway in that wonderful isle there just happens to be a Nicole by Opi stand and to get me through the boredom of shopping for groceries I decided that I would treat myself to 1 bottle.
Boy its hard to choose just 1 bottle but I think I made the best choice in the end. Blue- Berry sweet on you, from the gumdrops range.
At $12.95 a bottle and me being a cheapskate this is at the higher end of my budget so the polish needs to hit all the right notes....

And it does. I only got around to swatching 1 finger as I still had to make dinner for a couple of nights and unpack the 4,000 bags of shopping but from just that one finger swatch I'm in love.
Well not boyfriend/ husband love but you know fellow nail polish addicts the feeling u get when u find a really good nail polish.

I put on my favourite revlon quick dry base coat and put 2 coats of this baby and waited for it to dry.
It does say to not put a top coat on so when it took 45 mins to dry I did nearly crack out the quick dry top coat.
Me being impatient didn't help but I decided to stick it out just so I could fully see this beauty for what it is, I'm very glad I did cause man its really good.

The fact that its textured is what attracted me at first so I knew what I was getting into, but the texture is actually only subtle and I think it shouldn't annoy me too much. Score.
The sparkle, despite the no top coat is great, reminds me of a gemstone rock just cut from a mine or something like that. There is subtle glints of purple and blue which you can see on the macro shot.
Fingers crossed it lasts and doesn't chip, being only 1 day old it hasn't had a chance to show endurance yet but here's hoping.
Will have to invest in the rest of the gumdrop range I reccons :-)
If you have the other colours in the range let me know, would love to hear what the others are like.
