Today’s polish is one that was described by several reviewers as looking like poop when China Glaze’s Hunger Games collection came out last March! Well, I like poopy coloured polishes, haha, so this was the one that originally interested me the most from that collection!!
However, I didn’t really end up liking this one as much as I thought I would, once it was on the nail. Don’t get me wrong, I do like it, and there’s nothing wrong with the polish. The formula is good, no complaints; these photos show two coats plus top coat. But somehow, it ended up seeming kind of “flat” to me… some might say that all creme polishes are flat in a way, but that’s not what I mean and I’m not quite sure how else to describe it… I got kind of bored of it while I had it as my mani.
I think the colour wasn’t quite “ugly” enough for me; it needs some more yellow in it or something! 😀
Actually, I think I just need to add some kind of nail art to this in order to love it – stamping on it with another “ugly-pretty” colour would be nice… Or a coppery glitter-tipped gradient! Lots of fun possibilities are coming to mind!! So, yeah, I think I really like this, just not so much all by itself!

Well, it’s still elegant. You could also say it looks like cocoa or cappuccino, so I guess the adjective says a lot about the reviewer :p
I was thrilled to find your blog! Love it 🙂
Good thinking! Let’s call it “Dutch cocoa”, shall we? 😀
And thanks, I’m glad you like the blog! 🙂
