Ever had one of those days where your swatches just look like crap?

Welcome to my week. I haven't been happy with anything I have photographed since my Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears, but I'm just going to say the heck with it and post the last two polishes I considered good enough to save the pics of.

Borghese!!

Fun to say! Borrrrghaaayzzzaaaay!

I got two of them courtesy of an amazing US sweetheart, and here are my terrible pics that do the polish no justice AT all. Arriba!

Borghese Stellar Notte

This is a shot of the green side of Stellar Notte, Borghese's kickass duochrome. The colour range in this polish is amazing and it shifts from the green you see here, through a gunmetal grey, through to purple. Fabuloso.

Here's a shot of the purple angle. Gorgeous. If only my application didn't look like doody we would have some winners on our hands!

Borghese Plumaggio Purple

To my eye, Plumaggio Purple looks a lot like OPI Russian Navy. I should note though, that I need to wear glasses when driving. It's really blue on my nails. I don't know whether it's my skintone pulling out the blue or what? It's definitely blurple if anything.

So I love the colours. But lets talk about the brush. Again. Because much like Sally Hansen, these new Borghese's have a super hyoooge brush. I didn't think anything could be worse than the India Pro Wides, but I stand corrected. It might be easier for gals in a rush to just slap on a coat and rush out the door with their nails lookin like caca, BUT for those who paint with precision for a neater look, it's a pain in the ass!

It's not always about speed, nail polish companies! Give us a brush we can work with and we will save half the time cleaning off the mess from our fingers.

AAAAND rant over.
