technic amethyst maincure

As I mentioned in my last post I've bought some relative cheap nail varnish made by a brand called 'technic'. I bought some originally from eBay for 99p a bottle due to the colour and unusual glitter combinations and this led me to buy more from Love Thy Make Up for £1.25.

I've used the Glitter varnishes before but today, picked out by my other half, I used the full colour varnish. This one is called 'amethyst' and is a lovely two tone purple that catches the light and can shift to blue and green.

I applied two coats but could probably have done three to make completely opaque. On my ring finger I added a pink/purple glitter that I bought in a Groupon offer of 24 London Girl nail polish.

I've been cleaning and washing up today and some of the polish has worn away at the tip but I think this may have been started by shrinkage when using a Seche Vite top coat. In some lights I like the colour but in bright day light I think it looks cheap.

The glitters I bought however are great, and the 'Money Bags' polish would almost be a duplicate for OPI's 'Living Daylights'. I have another colour to try from this brand, in a dark purple so before I discount 'technic' I'll try it and report back.
