NOTD: Claire's Mellow/ Crazy

Posted by Halifax @ Sparkled Beauty

I don't normally do 2 NOTD posts in a row, but this colour deserves a post ASAP.

It's the other new Mood polish from Claire's: Mellow/ Crazy. Not really like the name, but I'm telling you, I am in serious love with the colour and what it can do.

This first pic is how my nails look when I first painted them, and when I'm outside in the cool weather. It's quite close to the bottle colour, with a darker purple on the tips and lighter purple on the rest of the nails. Lovely gradient French, isn't it? The difference between the 2 shades of purple is subtle. If you don't look closely, it appears to be a lilac colour all around, which I don't have any problem with, as it is very lovely lilac, with fine silver glitters.

And this is how my nails look in a warm/ cozy room or when I first wake up in the morning. The tips are still purple but the rest of the nails is pink, and the contrast is more visible. I don't even have to do the warm/cold water test to see the changes, which is awesome.

All day long, I kept looking at my nails. The change is just so quick and visible, it feels like I am wearing 3 different manis :)

So Mellow/ Crazy is definitely a winner and a keeper. I'll make sure to give Lonely/ Loved another chance to impress me. I am having some hope, after seeing how well Mellow/ Crazy does.

Shots at another angle which shows the gradient effect a little better.












What do you think? Like it?

Note: I think something screwed up my blog template, as I'm seeing Tinipic errors all over the pages. It won't be a problem if you are reading from Google Reader, but just in case you wonder what happened. I have no idea how to fix this, except to change the template, which I don't want to, at this point. Any thoughts?

  3. This post helped me pick what color to buy, thanks! I got happy/earthy and it works so well, I love it. But the fabulous/funky has NO change at all, so I'm returning it. I think I'll get this mellow/crazy instead.

  4. Stephanie, mood polishes are like that, works on someone, doesn't on another. Hope you'll like this shade :)
