Ardene Matte About Blue - 3 coats with T.C - Ring nail w/ Matte T.C.
Here is one of 3 Ardene Polish's I picked up recently. So far it is a pretty decent polish, the formula is decent and the color payoff I just like most brands I love and use. I do not have any other colors even close to this to do a comparison for you. I bought this polish at an Ardene Store in my town that is moving locations... all their stuff is 50% off right now.
above- Ardene Rockin Purple, AppleTini, and Matte about Blue
Although it is a matte, I added a coat of Nailene Acrylic Strong Top coat to it. On my Ring nail, I added a coat of Claire's Matte Top Coat. I'll hunt around my collection to see what I have that is similar to this. Its a really pretty vibrant teal.
I have to be honest though.... I hate caps like this, and although these have been available for a few years and Ardene Stores have some beautiful colours, I do not generally purchase polish with caps like this unless it pops of revealing a slender normal sized brush handle. But I am happy I grabbed this one becuase I dont think it is a duper or even close to anything I already own...
Next up; AppleTini { tomorrow }

Seriously cute color. It's pretty both matte and with topcoat. Like!
ReplyDeleteThe color is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeletePrr, pretty colour! I'm loving it glossy but it looks good matte too.
ReplyDeletenice colour :)
ReplyDeleteThe Ardene polishes aren't too too bad, I find they take longer to dry than others. I went in to an ardene the other day and found that they have some funky neons close to the new china glaze ones... i resisted lol. I have an outlet by my house so hopefully they go there after summer :)
Why don't you like the caps on these bottles? It must be cumbersome to not have slender brush handle. Anyhoo, the color is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis color is a true beauty !
ReplyDelete♥ ABOP - thanks this is a pretty colour, very summery
ReplyDelete♥ Anita - Thanks
♥ Michelle - Its one of the few creme-ish colours I like matte
♥ Danielle - The Appletini did take a little longer to dry but I am not sure if it was my crappy application( too thick ) or the polish. What? there is an Ardene Outlet? Where is it?
♥ Starlight - Yes! It is the too thick dandle, I guess I am just used to the average smaller longer brush handle.... I know I should practice with these more♥♥♥
♥ Ayuu - thanks I am trying to find a polish colour that is similar to this colour.
