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”

My Pointe Exactly


Name: My Pointe Exactly

Collection: Soft Shades New York Ballet

Colour: Pale, Sheer Greyish-Blue

Coats: 3-5

Pros: I like that there was a sheer blue included in this collection as there are mostly only pinks in the other Soft Shades Collections. It went on very nicely and there was no problem with streaks or clumps even though it needed many coats. This colour looks like it would be a beautiful colour for a tutu so it fits well in this ballet themed collection.

Cons: Even after quite a few coats my nail line was still visible and I found the grey undertone of the blue could be a bit too dull if you only but on 2 or 3 coats.

Similar shades: Quite like “Moon Over Mumbai” or a paler, glossy version of “Give Me the Moon”
