China Glaze For Audrey review & swatches
For Audrey is a creme. I do not normally like creme polishes. This is purely a matter of taste, I know. There's nothing wrong with creme polishes, they're just not my thing. But... well, it's For Audrey. That's kind of the China Glaze polish everyone should own at least one bottle of, isn't it? So I had to try it for myself... and eventually, the creme thing grew on me. I suppose it possibly looks slightly classier than glittery polishes, too. Just not as fun :P
The colour is quite nice, too. It's Tiffany blue, or as close to real Tiffany blue as China Glaze could get without breaking the trademark law, as it's one of the few trademarked colours in existence. Basically, a nice soft baby blue kind of colour, that goes very well with the whole creme thing. This would make an awesome colour for a baby shower if the little one's a boy. Application was once again very smooth, and this was almost completely opaque with just one coat. Two coats and it's perfect.
Two coats of For Audrey in the sun (top) and shade (bottom). In the shade, there's just a tiny hint of teal to the colour.
I then turned it matte with China Glaze Matte Magic. The sun was shining pretty bright here so it still looks slightly shiny, but it really did turn into a true matte.
Finally, to spice it up a little, I added a design from the Konad m64 plate. Well. Sort of. This is my second time ever applying Konad and also my stamp simply seems to be too small for this large design... so it's really sloppy. Huge blue edges left open, designs askew and just ew. I took off the whole thing in less than a day because I couldn't stand looking at the bad job I did any longer. I'll try harder next time :P
