Nail Review: Liberty of London x Hello Kitty

I don't know if I'm going mad or what but I can't find a single thing about the Liberty of London x Hello Kitty nail polish collaboration, and I know it exists because I'VE GOT IT IN MY BLADDY HAND. Its a trio of polishes all in the Liberty colours that comes in a really cute tin. I got it for Christmas around the same time I also got the eyeshadow pallet so I don't even know if its still being sold, but I got it from Boots anyway. They look like this:
I've gotta be honest, it's a really weird mixture of colours that I wouldn't wear together, but for the purpose of this review I've put all the colours together since I assume that's what you're meant to do, otherwise why would they come together? So there's a greeny blue one which I have been describing as "navy green", a dark pink and a berry red colour. The pots are small and hard to open, as these bite marks on the lids will testify to:
And here are all the colours on my nails, as helped to be shown off by Totoro:
Okay so, firstly I found them quite runny and for someone as rubbish as me at applying nail polish it was a bit nerve-wracking, in fact my fingers looked a mess afterwards. But it does dry very quickly! I've only done one coat as I'm taking it off again, but the green is a nice, deep colour whilst the red could do with another coat. The biggest surprise was the pink polish, WHICH DRIED MATTE. You sneaky thing. It's my favourite one and it looks bloody lovely, but it's quite thin so you definitely need another coat. The matte is really nice though and I would say if you can get it by itself then get it because it feels lovely and looks great. Overall, I'm glad I didn't buy this for myself. If you're a fan of Hello Kitty then you might want to get it because they are cute bottles! Also the tin is the perfect size for storing all my ticket stubbs.

  2. Ahh I love how you posed with the Totoro plush - so cute! I definitely wouldn't have thought of putting those colors together, but they look surprisingly pretty together, I think! xo

  3. I love matte nail polishes... they're so different and the look/feel of nails painted with matte polish is the best! My favorite matte polish [so far] is OPI Lincoln Park After Dark... It's the most gorgeous shade of a deep purple/black and I love that is matte!
