Anna Sui ~ #200



Anna Sui ~ #200
Purple shimmer

I love nail polish that comes in special and/or pretty bottles. I admit that in the past I’ve bought polish just because of the bottle it came in. Today’s polish is such a polish. The bottle from Anna Sui is shaped as Minnie Mouse, and it’s absolutely adorable.

The formula is not fantastic though. The first coat went on streaky, and I had to be careful with the second coat to even out all the irregularities. The drying time was average. The polish itself is beautiful.

Here’s two coats and no topcoat:


Isn’t the bottle just adorable?


I added a flakie/holo topper from Darling Diva called Hellea (H). That’s a Turquoise to Pink to Purple flakie with holo goodness added.
I applied one layer of Hellea over the Anna Sui and ended up with this mani:


I snapped a flash picture too, just to see the pretty holo-ness.


I usually always buy polishes in pairs, but this bottle was rather expensive and there were none of its sisters that spoke to me, and I didn’t want to buy expensive polishes I didn’t actually like, pretty bottle or not.

So tell me: Do you ever buy polishes because of the bottles they come in? If yes, please tell me which? :)
 

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: relatively slow
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Not the greatest quality, but the shimmer is nice
Buy again: Yes, but only for the bottle
