3x coats W7- Spearmint// Sally Hansen Insta-dry topcoat

W7- Spearmint// NYX- Pink Avenue// Rimmel matte topcoat


As you can probably tell, I love this W7, OPI Mermaid Tears dupe so much I just can't stop using it, I've been swatching it up like crazy this week. Clearly it's very versatile. My favorite of the lot has got to be the matte satin with 2true lavender layered on top (first pic, sorry if the OPI rotterdam bottle is confusing, will be swatching that soon!), it's very subtle and day dreamy, and the slight duo-chrome of 2true's lavender gives it a sheeny, ethereal edge.

Mostly I find W7 creams easy to work with, if a little streaky on the first coat, and maybe a bit slow drying (you need at least two minuets between coats) but it's nothing a nice thick layer of insta-dry or Seche Vite won't sort out, and at under £2, how can you complain!? As a skint nail fiend, I can make it work!

    1. Thank you, I love that top one too, and yeah, it is SO spring-y, which is very unlike me, usually I'm wearing dark purple and navy in the spring and pastels in the fall, nice to get it the right way round for once!
