For Audrey

Today was not a good day, I felt depressed all day and I really had to fight with  myself to not paint my nails black or something like that. After all, it was the first day of spring and that called for something bright and cheerful. I had a couple of new nail polishes to try, since I received some nail mail yesterday, and I chose to start with China Glaze For Audrey.

This is my first China Glaze and I'm already in love with the brand, I had full coverage with 1 coat (I still used 2) and the formula was great and smooth. I really loved it! And obviously I had to do something different on my accent nail, you know me, just a plain colour is too boring, so I painted it pink (Andreia #45) and then, using tape, added 2 stripes with For Audrey.
It was also my first time using Seche Vite and I was a bit scared to try it out, I heard a lot about how bad it can cause your polish to shrink and how there is definitely a learning curve when it comes to it. I have to say that I had no problem applying it and I even liked its strong smell.

Here are the pictures, taken under articifial light and no flash:






I'm really loving these 2 colours together, I'm glad I didn't go with black, that would have made me feel even more depressed and I felt so much better after doing my nails, the bright colours cheered me up!
