Morning everyone! Do you ever have days where, for no reason whatsoever, you just feel meh? Yeah, kinda having that day. Also, I feel kind of meh about Vapid Lacquer Fish Out of Water, which I feel bad about because it was a birthday gift. Let’s talk about it!
Fish Out of Water is a turquoise green with golden shimmer. Formula was thin and application was brushstrokey. It dries matte. This is 2 coats plus top coat.
Like…there’s nothing wrong with this polish. It’s a pretty polish. Maybe after seeing so many beautiful pictures of it, I just felt underwhelmed when I actually got it on my nails. Do you ever feel like that with polishes? Let me know about it in the comments!
The color is very pretty.
It is a very pretty color – maybe it would be a bit deeper with another coat? Unfortunately, I know all too well about nail polishes not living up to all the lovely pictures – I run into that more often than not. It’s mostly because I live and work under regular old lighting conditions, and the pictures online are always in lightboxes or direct sunlight or something like that. Fortunately, I’m getting much better at figuring out which polishes will do better in my lighting conditions, which makes me a lot happier with them!
I definitely know that feeling, some polishes either photograph prettier or some serious editing has been done! That one looks quite gorgeous to me :]
I am definitely underwhelmed sometimes. This one looks a little sheer for me, but it does have a pretty shimmer!
