Revlon's Minted + China Glaze's Hey Sailor polka dots

Hi!

Just a quick post using 2 of my favourite polishes.

I felt like doing a very simple polka dot design over Revlon's Minted.  Unfortunately I didn't wait long enough for the polka dots to dry before applying my topcoat (Sèche Vite) as you can notice on my thumb... I'll do better next time :)

Enjoy!

China Glaze's Hey Sailor (#946)

Hi,

I hope you are all having a nice Sunday.

It's raining and gloomy here today, so I decided I needed a bright polish to forget the crappy weather. Didn't feel like wearing a neon or a bright whitish pink, colors I love, but decided to go for a classic true red. 

The polish I used, China Glaze's Hey Sailor, is my preferred red, even more than Chanel's Fire, Coromandel and Dragon. When I think of red, this is exactly the shade I visualize. The color on the nails is true to the one seen in the bottle.

The formula on this polish, like most China Glaze's, is a bit streaky for the first coat, but it smoothes down and dries evenly when you apply a second coat of lacquer. The drying time is rather short and the finish is ultra glossy, even before I applied my topcoat (1 coat of Sèche Vite).

What is your most reached for red?

Enjoy!
