The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 2 - Silver

Hello...
Today our theme for the New 31 Day Challenge is "Silver"...

What an opportunity to use my Xmas Haul... :)

Anyway, I used Bourjois 1 Seconde polish in Gris Nightomic for the base. I had bought this polish hoping that it was pigmented enough to stamp. But it has a really sheer formula. I used 2 coats for this mani and a third one was definetly necessary...

But still, the drying time is below 1 minute and the color is nice, a nice grey with silver shimmer in it.

I used BM 206 for stamping the circles on my middle finger and pinkie. My stamping polish was Essence Marble Mania silver...

Bourjois - Corail Magique


Another Bourjois... But this time, with tiny gold shimmer. It is a soft peach color. The golden shimmer really makes it different, but not my style of color... :(

Bourjois - Taupe Classy

Another Bourjois 1 Seconde polish I had bought... Still looking for the nice brown shade... This one is nice, but still not what I'm looking for.

Anyway, another emergency polish, let's say... :)

BOURJOIS - Lavande Esquisse

These bottles from Bourjois cought my attention the other day. So I thought I should give them a try... :) 

I have never used Bourjois polishes before, so I won't be able to compare these but this collection is a must have...

First, let's start with the brush. It is a flat, fat and big brush, nothing like I've ever seen before... It may not be suitable for people with small nailbeds but I loved it. The brush was able to cover all my nail with one motion... :)

The formula on this is awsome also... One coat makes a visible nail line but two coats give perfect opacity... You see only one coat on my nails... (I don't know why... :)) And it dries super quick... Suppper quick... I was able to stamp on it 1 minute later... :)

By the way, I used Kleancolor metallic purple for stamping. It kind of stained my stamper at first, but then I managed to clean it. It is a super polish for stamping... :)

Anyway, I loved Bourjois, but not for everday nail art. I don't know, maybe I had my nails in water so much, but it chipped and peeled sooner than I expected. But it is always a lifesaver when you have no time to wait for your polish to dry... :)
