Love this polish. Its more like a ballet slipper beige-pink than the photo. Close to RBL Plie. I like this polish, because it isn't as sheer as some pale Zoya colors. Very pleased this one.

Nails Inc Elizabeth St
This is a really pretty nude with a subtle shimmer. A great polish when you want great application and need something subtle and clean looking.

Zoya Sari
This polish is such a pretty color and has that squishy jelly look. Unfortunately this is about 4 coats, which never really dried in the humidity. The next morning it was smudge city. When the weather gets nicer I'll try it again.

OPI Gotta Get Pink!
This might be an Ulta exclusive from Valentines day 2009. I bought it last fall and I am pretty sure I saw it at Ulta over New Years. I thought it was a little boring, but after I applied it and wore it today I am in love with it. Its such a soft, sophisticated pale pink with a hint of lavender, like the pink of a candy heart. It is not as stark as Mod About You. It reminds me a bit of one of the Rescue Beauty Lounge pinks I have. Definitely chic. I'll try and get a pic in the sun tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Borghese Fashionista
I picked these up at Rite Aid. The Fashionista display features 6 full size polish colors. I liked these 2 the best.
Almondine is an interesting polish. It is a nude cream with small darker particles. It, also, seems to have a little pinkish shimmer to it.
This first picture is under normal artificial lighting.
This photo is under recessed spotlights.
This photo is under an "Ott type" lamp.
Stellare Notte is a duochromatic polish. It appears as a blackened green/purple/blue. I took several pictures to try and capture the colors. This mani is a day or 2 old, so you can see the tip wear and it doesn't look as fresh as it could.
In this photo the polish appears very green.
In this photo you can see the purple and blue shift.
This photo, also, features my 5 year old's mani. She wanted OPI DS Fantasy with OPI Mad As A Hatter over top. Very cute! She got 3 days out of it, before the polish "fell off" a couple of her nails, which often happens to her with her tiny nails. It looks blue here.
I am happy with the way the nails turned out, but application was difficult. The brushes were a bit wonky, with stray bristles jutting out. This is my first expirience with Borghese polish and I am not impressed. $8.00 is a little pricey for a drug store polish, especially one with such lousey application.
Here's a better photo of my little girl's OPI DS Fantasy + OPI Mas As A Hatter
