It feels like I'm showcasing the many moods of nail polish at the moment. I've gone from fierce and edgy, to cute and fun, and now to subdued.
Castle on a Cloud is one of the last shades I have to show you from Face of Australia's Summer 2012 Pastel collection (I think I have one more somewhere???). Anyway I was fully expecting to be bored by this shade - and honestly that's why I hadn't worn it until recently - but I ended up quite liking it because it isn't a straight grey as it first appears but it has a rather feminine lavender undertone, and it has the slightest hint of shimmer. Who knew that grey could actually be pretty? No - Don't answer that! I know, I know...
This is the usual two coats with top coat and again this FOA polish gave wonderful opaque coverage for a pastel.

Do you like edgy, cute or subdued manicures or do you like to mix it up like me?
I think this looks lovely, and lucky for me I picked this up a couple of days ago for 75c! Definitely wearing this soon. xx
ReplyDeleteBargain! It's a very pretty neutral - you'll love it :)
DeleteCoincidentally, the new spring nail polish shade I mixed up last night looks similar to this one. Mine is a tad more grey.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I wish I was creative enough to mix up my own polish shades! Soft greys are perfect for spring :)
DeleteAs you know, it's spring here so your polish is ever so season appropriate. I think I have a Sally Hansen that's just a touch whiter and cooler toned than that. Should pull it out for a wear!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have inspired you Liz!
DeleteI often switch up between colours/pastels/bolds myself. :) Keeps life interesting, although could also be a sign of a personality disorder, haha.
ReplyDeleteI love this shade, I own it and it's one of my favourites! As usual, looks stunning on you!

Glad to see you like a bit of variety! Mostly I try and go with the seasons but of course I like to go a bit crazy and fun on the weekends with my mani shades and finishes :)
DeleteI have Zoya Marley, which is sort of this color - pale lavender. It's one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI need to check that out I think - I haven't checked out Zoya polish in the longest time :p
DeleteIt's so delicate! Very pretty! It would make an awesome bridal nail too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy! :)
