Love & Beauty: Fuschia (or is it red??)

Enough of the grey, here's something a bit more bright and cheerful (and a little deceptive in its name).

Love & Beauty's Fuschia is one of those polish shades that differs significantly from bottle to nail.  Although it looked like a deep purple fuschia in the bottle, it dried down to a deep beetroot red  on my nails.  It disappointed me a bit because I really loved the bottle colour.  Shame.

So, Fuschia isn't really fuschia at all but it's quite a respectable red.

Have you ever had this disappointment with a nail polish colour that didn't exactly live up to its look in the bottle?

Until next time.

Love & Beauty: Magenta

Today I've got another US drugstore polish to share with you.

Magenta is a lovely squishy glass-fleck jelly polish from Love & Beauty, a brand I'd never heard of until recently.  Love & Beauty polishes are manufactured in the USA and retail for $2.80USD.  This is an amazing raspberry pink shade, very vibrant and sparkly in the sun.  My one complaint is the tip wear on this polish which showed up on the second day of wear.  You'll see this in my sunlight pic - Waaahh!! - I so wanted to wear this for more than just two days because it was such a pretty colour!

Full sun - shame about the tip wear :(

Do any of you have Love & Beauty nail polish in your stash?

That's all for now.
