Barry M - Chameleon Blue

Somehow this manicure was never posted, but here is it. A bit later than planned, never the less. 

It's a gorgeous blue color, I like the shine it puts of.  The Chameleon colours can't have topcoat on them, cause that makes them change colour. and even then, it doesnt seem to last long for me. Kinda puts me off wearing this, but it looks beautiful. 

... And ... its a stainer.

I tried it briefly last year, when I bought it, and it stained my nails like hell. (link to prev. blogpost) This time I used a different basecoat, but with no luck. I had it on for a few hours and even that was enough to stain my nails. I have tried it with Linda Johansen basecoat, and OPI Nail Envy, both leaves me with staines. 

Anyone tried it with other basecoats? 

Is there hope for this polish?

Hi girls.

Lets go Berry, and Blue today!
There has been so much stuff going on in my life the last few weeks. I'm packing all my belongings and moving to the UK. Leaving everything else.
The company I worked for, can't afford to have me anymore, and it's time for a climate change.
So why not the UK? Right?

Today's polish has been making me wanna cry.
Its stained, everything (!)  Sadly its gorgeous as well.

Barry M - Chameleon Blue.

The thing about Chameleon is that once you apply topcoat the color will change. The colors on the cap indicates what color it will change to.

For this, I used Sally Hansen Double Duty as topcoat. I wanted to see if the amount of topcoat made any difference, so I lightly applied it.
And I am actually going to show you both my hands today :)

I had it on for a full day, and when I removed it, the nail was all gross and yellow-y. They almost when in one with my skin tone.

If it was only a basecoat problem, well lets hope. I used OPI Nail Envy.
