Borghese, Borghese, Borghese!
Why don't you pigment your polishes?
Witness:
Four coats of Limoncello.
A yellow shimmer that, on the first coat, could act as a clear base coat.
I wasn't in the mood to resuscitate it with a black base. No, I felt that I would have a faintly yellow shimmer top coat. Why am I posting this at all? (should that be a tag? hmmmm) because if you see this, and you want yellow, go with a creme base like Sinful Unicorn as a base if you actually want yellow shimmer. I like yellow, This on is fairly soft, but not enough pigment.
Right now I am a bit miffed that I even paid $1.99 for this. I've got a Melmer drawer full of base coats and top coats and treatments, I'm not in the market for more.
I think this needs a reblog. I probably got a bit frustrated by the fourth coat and saw that it was not building and then it was bubbling.
I don't throw things, but this was a candidate!
So, if see this, and you need a cheap base coat, win. If, however, you seek a yellow shimmer, run away from this! And the normal full price is $8! Eight Dollars! EIGHT!!! Optimistic that this is an eight dollar polish on a good day.
Screed over!
Thank you for reading my little screed-y nail polish journal!

I've only blogged one Borghese but I had about the same luck as you. 8 bucks?! I was so frustrated and mine was a vampy burgundy color that looked like watered down cranberry. Talk about skimping on pigment and robbing people. Sigh. Word to the wise: the Sally Hansen HD yellow color looks about the same as this one so avoid at all costs! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI will check that out! I love that shade, but man! The sheer-factor was stunning!
I do have a love-hate relationship with them! LOL!
Love Mezzonotte Blue, Stellare Notte, etc, but sometimes their light shimmers seem to leave me wondering, did someone misread the recipe?
:D
PS I love your blog!
:D
Oh too bad. >.> Maybe it'd be better as a layering topcoat? I always really want to like yellow polish but always end up disappointed with the formula. :(
ReplyDeletePretty colour, but 4 coats, no thanks!
ReplyDeleteI may reblog it as a layer coat, it's a pretty shimmer.
ReplyDeleteAfter four coats and still pretty sheer, hmm...no shaping up to be a win!
:D
