My Boyfriend Scales Walls





Name: My Boyfriend Scales Walls


Collection: Spider Man Collection


Colour: Very Light Grey with a Hint of Blue


Coats: 2-3


Pros: This polish is an interesting opaque, light grey that is almost white with just a hint of shine. It is quite a modern look which can be fun and funky but it isn’t really my style.


Cons: The first coat was really patchy and streaky but the second coat pretty much evened everything out. It was a better, smoother formula than most opaque whites I’ve tried that tend to be sticky and stay streaky but it was still difficult to control. I didn’t really like wearing this polish but it was great for underneath glitters to create opacity or for under the Green Spiderman Shatter.


Similar Shades: “Alpine Snow” is an opaque white that I also use as an undercoat while “Moon Over Mumbai” and “My Pointe Exactly” have the same light bluish-grey tint as “My Boyfriend Scales Walls”

Give Me The Moon


Name: Give Me The Moon


Collection: Night Brights

Colour: Pale Periwinkle

Coats: 3+

Pros: A lovely romantic, whimsical periwinkle with an iridescent sheen and pale gray undertones. I love how this colour allows me to branch away from the regular pinks and reds without going for something too bold or something boring. It is a subtle, pretty colour, made more exciting with its pearly finish.

Cons: I really like how it looks on my fair skin but I’ve heard that it doesn’t go very well with medium skin tones. Also don’t be fooled by how this colour looks in the bottle as it seems like a flat blue-gray but looks very different on nails. Finally, this polish takes a few coats to reach full opacity. In the pictures I have 2 coats on, but it is still rather sheer.

Similar Shades: OPI “Sheer Your Toys” from their Hollywood Toyland collection is almost identical to GMTM, while “Moon over Mumbai” is a good choice if you want less blue and a plain creamy look.
