Choi's nails

This is the shade from China Glaze’s Electropop collection that was most talked about. I remember seeing it in a few YouTube videos as well but forgive me; I’ve forgotten which ones they were.

I was originally planning to use an old polish in my drawer for this manicure, its best I start using the old ones now before I’ll never manage to finish a few bottles in my lifetime. I saw fuchsia fanatic in my drawer of unworn and ended up going with that one since it’s nothing special that I didn’t feel it’d be a big loss if it didn’t get a post of its own.

The formula though is runny. It’s one of those ones where after you’ve brushed off the excess at the neck of the bottle, you’ll see some polish running down the brush out of nowhere. The opacity of this one is good though, one thick coat might do the job but I did two just in case.



I felt like I’ve been neglecting some of my nail art equipment and that includes my stamping plates so I took them out to see some daylight. I didn’t just want an accent nail design so I stamped every finger the best I can but you can obviously see where I messed up on and it was ALWAYS the corners.

 

• Applied The Edge base coat
• Painted two coats of China Glaze’s Fuchsia fanatic
• Layered a thin coat of China Glaze’s fast forward top coat and wait until it dries properly
• Using Essie’s Blanc and BM plate 209 to stamp the lines on every finger
• Finished off the manicure with another thin coat of China Glaze’s fast forward topcoat.

First off I have to say my photos aren’t good quality here. It’s slightly blurry and I only realised this after looking at it on the computer screen. Bummer! Regardless I do like this shade though. I also heard it’s a dupe for Chanel’s Paradoxal but I can’t comment on their similarity because I don’t own the Chanel polish. I don’t own any in fact, I can’t find myself spending so much on a polish, yet.

First two photos taken indoors, last two taken outdoors. Both in natural light
