But sometimes I got jealuóus at other bloggers that I think take such beautiful photos of polishes, but when I bought a polish that they've shown it really looks different as you say. Not so fun, so I do agree with you. It's just that my ego sometimes want's to take more beautiful photos, but on the other hand I do want to show the polish as it really is.

The particular blogger definitely enhances the colours a lot, so I said no, and I turned out to be right. The polish was still pretty - but not that pretty. <br />Rainbowify Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639047387528789127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571991156414279350.post-22425241186186350912014-12-28T10:21:09.507+01:002014-12-28T10:21:09.507+01:00I get really annoyed when I see pictures in indie ...I get really annoyed when I see pictures in indie shops that look much better than the polishes actually do. Also the colour descriptions - I still remember that series of polishes I got where the colours were described really weird: The one that was supposed to be purple was grey, the wine red was pink, it was really odd. It doesn't make me want to shop there ever again. <br /><br />I hadn't thought of it the other way around to be honest, but that's a bummer too. I try to look up several swatches before I buy but some polishes don't have a lot of swatches up unfortunately. <br /><br />I think your photos are great :)Rainbowify Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639047387528789127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571991156414279350.post-25465954206166507412014-12-28T10:16:15.811+01:002014-12-28T10:16:15.811+01:00I don't mind that bloggers make the colours tr...I don't mind that bloggers make the colours true.

Like: Cameras like to show purples as blues, and it's good to change the settings so the picture actually shows what colour the polish really is. <br />I've had a polish sent for a review - and when I compared the pictures I took (which I thought was colour accurate) with the pictures another girl took and the pictures in the shop, I didn't believe it was the same polish. Seriously, that's so wrong! <br />If it's not that pretty to begin with, then change the polish and make it pretty!

And in the short term it may se very enticing to post the prettiest photos of a nail polish on a blog it will ultimately come back to bite you. One of the main reasons I follow this blog is that it shows what polishes look like indoors, under artificial light. Even though I live in Australia about about half a k from the beach like everyone one else I spend most of my time indoors so that shot really matters to me. Descriptions also really matter to me. As for websites with inaccurate photos like you guys I vote with my wallet. Recently I stopped buying from one of my favorite indie manufacturers because the swapped their accurate but less than perfect photos for some very slick but highly photo shopped ones and I felt duped.
