The Box of Shame: Anny ~ Blue Bikini Girl

The Box of Shame: Anny ~ Blue Bikini Girl

Sky blue shimmer

I have bought a lot of polish over the years. I haven't kept all of them; I have sold some and I have given some of them away. There's a stop between the box of untrieds and the Helmer: The Box of Shame.

The Box of Shame contains polishes that I've decided not to keep. I may not like the colour or the formula, I may not like the finish - or perhaps the polish just doesn't wow me.

The polishes in the Box of Shame are either sold or given away, and sometimes a polish end up in the box by mistake. Those polishes often sit in the box for a very long time because I don't have the heart to get rid of them. Today I decided to pull a specific polish out of the box - Anny's "Blue Bikini Girl". I think it has been sitting in the box for five years, and every time I've opened the box to get rid of polishes from there - this polish has managed to stay. I can't remember why it ended there in the first place to be honest.

So here's a revival of a very pretty blue polish. The formula is good and easy to work with. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is good.

The stamp is from a stamping plate that I don't intend to keep either: "Bundle Monster + YaGala BM-XL208". It's a plate full of lovely designs, but they're unfortunately too big for my relatively small nails. Today I used the design that makes most sense on my nails.

I topped the whole thing with P2's holo microglitter topper: "Just Fantastic".

Here's the final result:

I think this is quite pretty.

This is "Blue Bikini Girl" alone; two coats and no topcoat yet. It is indeed a pretty blue, isn't it!?
