Fluke fail

Well, the theory was great. I thought that the bottle of red nail polish that I bought the other day was the same colour as the one that I've been wearing for the past 8 weeks or so...

Even with the two bottles side by side, they looked the same. On the nails was a different story, though. The one I bought was distinctly pink. Too pink that a second coat would bring it back to the orangey shade that I was after.

Looking at the labels revealed that the one that I like is called "China Red", while the other one is labelled "Red door red".

So my nails were again done from the nearly empty bottle at the salon, and I don't have a new bottle the same. At least I didn't waste too much money on it. :)

It's now got me wondering if I should donate the colours that I won't ever wear to the salon so that at least someone can get some use out of them...

  1. I'm not so sure about donating the other color to my salon despite knowing I'll never wear it. If they take it, fine. If not, I would simply toss it in the trash.

    I prefer "Black Cherry" and I buy 'Press-on Nails' in that color and they're fantastic!

    Your nails look wonderful BTW, Alice!
