So sorry for the lack of updates lately, I’ve been a bit busy/lazy! But I’m back to share one of my favourites…
Orly’s Gumdrop, from their Spring 2010 Sweet collection. Previously blogged about in my Skittles Shatter NOTD. It’s a clean-looking turquoise (blue-green) pastel creme. Love. It.
Such an adorable colour, perfect for spring! I spent a good amount of $$$ for it in Hong Kong, though. I’m sure if I was more resourceful I could’ve got it for less. Enh. I love the colour too much to care! I’ve been told it’s a very close sister of Chanel’s Nouvelle Vague, which would’ve put a much larger dent in my wallet.
However, there are some application issues. I can’t control this polish well…it’s a bit runny, yet goopy, which makes getting the right amount somewhat of an art. Longevity isn’t great either. This is one of those polishes I can easily peel from my nail in a solid layer (that’s actually how I often remove my polish – after a shower, where the steam makes it pretty easy to peel it off. Probably not great for my nails?).
Ah. It’s such a nice colour, I think I can forgive. My polish turnover is like two days anyway, so I’ll think of it as a blessing to be able to remove it so easily.
And look at how cute it is once you throw some polka dots at it! I did this a few months ago using the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in white.
Have a great hump day!

So cute! and springy :)
That’s totally how I remove my nail polish too! I do it every Tuesday after work because those are the days I do dishes and after my hands have been submerged in hot soapy/bleachy water, the polish loosens. I’m sure people on the skytrain have seen me and stared.
PS. Love this shade.
oh my gosh, I LOVE the polka-dotted ones! So cute!
Thanks Nikki!
