China Glaze Outta Bounds review & swatches
As I posted earlier, I recently acquired some new China Glaze colours. Here's the first one, called Outta Bounds. It's a nice vibrant green; kind of a Christmassy green, I guess, but who cares? I'll wear Christmas green in summer if it's a pretty colour. :P This colour is pretty opaque; it was a completely solid green for me with just two coats. You will need the two, though, as it's still slightly streaky with just one. Application was pretty smooth, which is what I'm used to for most - but not all - China Glaze colours. I also quite like their brushes. I suppose it might be a matter of taste, but to me they're pretty much perfect in terms of density, not too stiff, not too soft either.
Two coats of Outta Bounds out in the sun. It appears slightly more teal in the picture than it does in real life. In real life it's basically a true green, and here it's slightly blueish.
Indoors, under artificial lighting. The green turns darker (which is obvious, isn't it) and more of a mossy green.
I then added one coat of China Glaze's Emerald Sparkle to the tips and did a little criss-cross design on top, using Konad Special White and the m64 plate. It's like 30° off on my right middle finger, though. Oops. Good thing I always take pics of my left hand, then:
