NOTD: China Glaze Naughty and Nice, Mrs. Claus

Friday, January 7, 2011

Hello all!
Usually I like to alternate nail posts and makeup posts but I've been feeling a little under weather and couldn't get myself to whip up a makeup related post today. So you get to look at polish again today!
I bought Naughty and Nice with Mrs. Claus in a set with a bottle of Peppermint Cuticle Oil at Sally's after the holidays on clearance. It cost me a whopping $2 something. Since I don't see why these shades can't be worn year round, I thought it was a great deal!

1x Essie First Base, 3x Naughty and Nice. Indoors, lightbox and flash.

Isn't Naught and Nice a really pleasant vampy wine creme? I really like how dark it is but with this type of dark shade, it always is a little tricky with the application. I end up with patches on the part of my nail closest to the cuticle, grrrr.
I decided to try out Mrs. Claus right on top.

Er, not that great of an idea. Mrs. Claus is silvery glitter in a really sheer red-pink base. On its own, I find it pretty hideous. Added to Naughty and Nice wasn't much better, I found myself wishing that I hadn't layered it after all.
I'm not sure what I'll do with Mrs. Clause! Usually I try to franken with colors I don't like but this contains that type of glitter that I'm just not very fond of.

What do you do with polishes that you just can't stand?
