Desert Sun

 Here’s the second of China Glaze’s On Safari polishes to appear on the blog, though it was actually the first I wore on my nails. I love it.

Last year, I bought a set of four mini polishes at H&M and one of them was a tan colour that I fell in love with, utterly and irrevocably. Of course, a defining trait of mini polishes is that the bottles are quite small, so my beloved tan polish dried up in no time.

Enter On Safari. After seeing swatches, I decided I must get my mitts on Desert Sun, but it wasn’t until I actually wore it for the first time I realised that, hey!, here’s my favourite colour in a big bottle that’s going to last forever. Awesome!

It’s a very easily applied creme formula, though I am not the best of friends with the brush yet. I need to get the CG brush technique down pat still, but once that happens? I will be unstoppable! ;)

Also, re: my last post and how I’m getting better at painting my nails without making a mess? Look at this photo. No clean-up was done after applying the polish, and while my cuticles maybe don’t look perfect, they’re damn well close to being so!
