Andrea Fulerton - Matthew

Pale nude shimmer with pink flash

Eeek - this polish does not work with my skintone and was a bit of a mare to apply and looks patchy in some of the pics.  That makes it a total fail for me.

Matthew from Andrea Fulerton is a nude shimmer with a mild pink  flash.

Application was mildy tricky and streaky.  Swatch shown is 3 coats and you can still see some VNL.

Yuk.

Andrea Fulerton - Debbie

Warm pinky coral creme

I seem to be amassing a small collection of these Andrea Fulerton single polishes - random boxsets of 3 or 4 turn up in TK Maxx and I'm powerless to resist!

Plus I think one of the UK monthly beauty boxes have featured them too.

Like Zoya they seem to be giving all the polishes women's names...

So here's Debbie

As you can see the bottles are an usual shape, being tall-ish and slender.  I suppose they're not much more than mini sized, holding 5.5ml (less than 0.2oz) but the brush is good and reaches almost to the bottom of the bottle.

Debbie is a warm coral creme.  There's a hint of milky/dustiness too.  I struggled a bit with the application of this one.  The formula was unexpectedly streaky and it took 3 coats to get to opacity.

Swatch shown is 3 coats, no top coat.

It's a lovely summery colour but I'm not sure it's very unique and due to the problems with application I can't totally recommend this polish.

Happy New Year!

Yes, I'm still alive although activity on here might lead you to think otherwise!

Unfortunately I fell foul of the most horrendous flu bug over Christmas (which I'm still not quite over and caused me to have a very miserable time) and combined with too much on in the second half of December meant my poor blog got rather neglected.

I hardly did my nails at all (my Christmas day mani was bare nails!) - I did manage to find the enthusiasm for a quick mani with one of the Andrea Fulertons I picked up while Christmas shopping and was very impressed with the wear.

I got 4 days with just some minor tipwear and then a bit more chipping on day 5.

I did a lot of cooking, dog walking and some housework so I was very impressed with how it held up.

Here's a candid shot of my left hand at the end of 5 days - my right hand was slightly worse (I'm right handed).




This is one of the Trios - Princess and is more vibrant than this low light picture shows. I'll do a fuller review at a later date but it's a double ended bottle with two polishes, designed to be layered over each other. One end is a purple glass/foil (2 coats on each nail) and then one coat of a hot pink glass/foil on my ring finger.
