The curse of the bottle



Look at the bottle: pink,blue and gold flecks!




Dear Lacqueristas,

A while ago I posted about P2 Elegant, a stunning lilac/grey with hot pink shimmer. One of my favourite nail polishes ever. Now here's another one of that same brand:

The name of this polish is Rich. I can see why, it is rich of multi colored glass flecks. Beautiful in the bottle, a little less stunning on the nail. It's like a curse. When a polish is extra beautiful in the bottle, chances are it's meh once applied. Or vice versa. Anyways, P2 Rich is pretty but don't expect the full blown spectrum of glass flecks to be visible on your tips. With a thick layer of topcoat I managed to get rid of the gritty-ness.

Please note that P2 has recently changed it's range and therefore this particular shade is not available anymore.

P2 Rich
 Have you dealt with the *bottle curse* yet? Pretty in thebottle, meh on the nail? Eleborate please :-)


Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

I hate that, I wish all polishes were as pretty on the nail as in the bottle! Oh well, this one is still pretty!

It still looks so pretty on, and I'm still lusting after P2 Elegant, thanks to you!

I was so disappointed with this one when polished on. It does make a pretty base for Nfu Oh 51 though :).

It's a pretty color!
And yes yes...the bottle curse has happened to me.
Probably the most painful experience was with RBL Under the Stars.
Absolutely stunning in the bottle, but on the nail, all that gorgeousness disappears. So so sad.

Yes I've experienced bottle curse - it was a beautiful purple shimmer A LOT like this one, it looked duo-chromey and wonderful in the bottle and then it was just flat on my nails :(

I didn't know that was what this is called!!! Stupid MACs Jade Dragon... I wish that it would look like the bottle on my nails, but it doesn't. It's like a completely different flat non-shimmery traitor polish :-(

I have to say, I don't agree with you on this one... I have Rich too and with me it looks exactly like it does in de bottle when on the nails..

colour differences between bottle and on the nail are so annoying, especially when you think it's the Exact Shade you were looking for.

I bought Rimmel Highland because it looked like a very nice dark, rich browny red but it ended up being a very darkbrown with a red undertone. =/
