Let's face it, I am nowhere near solvent or expert enough to be one of those people who blogs informatively about cosmetics that they buy, but I went wandering around Kmart in anticipation of being paid to be a subject in a neuro research study on Friday ($___$) and I bought the Blue Tiger nailpolish from Australis and it's GORGEOUS. Darkish cerulean, no streaks or glugs (fuck you very much, Revlon), dries matte -- which I love -- but can be given the shiny-wet look with a basic topcoat*. I have it on my thumbnail and I keep staring at it and wishing I didn't have to remove it (nailpolish is for weekends only, sigh).

I almost went for Peek-A-Boo but it's a more pinkish purple than the website suggests, and honestly I never wear pastels, so even though it's nice it's not at all me. Whereas this blue, OH YES, just what I wanted. Now I'm holding out to get a good green from OPI when I'm next in Canberra.


*Hmm, can anyone recommend a matte-finish protective topcoat that isn't too pricy?

I think Rimmel makes one.
