Hello ladies,
The rain overnight marked the sky with clouds. I walked to a small park in the Art Museum area. There I found a coniferous tree and winter berries to highlight the red Borghese polish from the Allegra collection. My boyfriend decided this unnamed mini polish should be called dangerous red. I will leave you ladies to conspire as to what he could possibly mean by such a pronouncement.
The Borghese mini has beautifully reflective red glitter in a jelly base. I carefully applied three coats. The two polishes I have worn from the Allegra set have slightly smaller brushes than those with the Serena mini collection. While I prefer the Serena brushes, the application was very precise. I did no cleanup around my cuticle area after polishing. With the heavy concentration of glitter, the formula seemed stickier or drier than usual. Keeping the layers thin, I had no trouble with application.
The mini polish reminds me of China Glaze Ruby Pumps, but it's not a twin. It's a comely sister. I wish the sun had been present to really awaken the glitter, but the color is luminous even beneath cloud cover.
I am excited about a little surprise I am planning for next week. I am just waiting for the mail to arrive and the sun to return.
Happy painting, ladies!
That is a good name for this polish. Very pretty on you. I wish I could find these. I'm sure they'll turn up someday. Beautiful.

Lucy: Thank you so much! I will let him know he should start naming polishes. I will check the display for you at Rite Aid. I bought them back in October, but you never know...
ReplyDeleteEvil Angel: Thank you, sweetie. Glitter suspended in a jelly polish is often striking. The red makes it glamorous. You would wear this one quite well. <3
gildedangel: Thank you! I will let him know his polish naming prowess is appreciated.
thriszha: Thanks so much! I do love reds on occasion.
Kirsten: Thank you! I wish I had a polish tree too. How delightful!
Small Town Gal: Thanks to both of you. While I am not a geneticist, I theorize that men are hardwired to love red nail polish.
Skye: Thank you sweetie! I think I need to wear reds more often. ;)
