Challenge: 52 weeks of untrieds

52 Weeks of Untrieds banner

Let's face it: I have quite a collection of nail polishes.

Something I'm not particularly good at is wearing all of different colours I own. I have a bad habit of sticking to many of my tried and tested favourites, even though I go positively nuts over the sheer prettiness of some of the untouched polishes in my collection.

So my challenge for the next year is this: I will be working my way through my collection, and each week I need to use one polish I haven't worn before. I think it's a pretty hefty challenge!

For week one, I tried not only a polish, but a brand I haven't used before...

Meltdown 1
Meltdown 2
Models Prefer - Meltdown

Meltdown is a gorgeous milk chocolate creme. Application was pretty smooth, with only two coats needed for a nice coverage. The brush is extremely wide and has a curved tip - most of my nails were able to be coated in a single stroke! Unfortunately the tip of the brush is a little unevenly cut, which meant that some cleanup effort was needed. Given my usual (no)skill in applying polish, I need to cleanup anyway, so no biggie.

Models Prefer is available through Priceline, and the polishes are usually $5.99, but can often be found on sale.

I give this one a thumbs up - not only did I enjoy wearing it, but it also scored quite a few compliments. Great for around the office!


with love, redambition xx
