Daffodils? I’m already starting this review off with limited words to say, and a bit of disbelief, which doesn’t bode well, does it?

Since when were daffodils a frosty lilac? Poor old Wordsworth must be spinning in his grave.

So. This was actually my first experience of using an NYX polish, although it isn’t the first one that has had a moment in the spotlight, as you’ll know if you read about the ones I bought at IMATS. Not only do the newer polishes have a far nicer brush setup, they’re also larger. Don’t get me wrong, I like how pretty this bottle is (reminds me of Nfu-Oh or Anna Sui stuff) but I do prefer the more mininalist approach that the newer polishes have.

I purchased this from some bargain basement website when I was looking to get free postage by buying over a certain amount of stuff (come on, you do it too). And I have to say, I think I made an error.

This makes me think of either little girls playing with make-up, or perhaps more so the mother of the bride. Not that that’s a bad thing, per se, indeed, my mum made a lovely mother of the bride. No, more in the head-to-toe-lilac-plus-frosted-nails kind of mother of the bride way. Not good.

It took  several coats to reach opacity, which as you can probably tell from my application, I lost patience with, and then it kind of sat there as a bit of a goopy mess. Thankfully some Seche came along and dried it but it far from sorted it all out as this is a total and utter mess and one ot definitely avoid.

So there we have it. Daffodils? I still can’t quite get my head round that one.
