Alrighty, surprise! Another Second Chance Saturday for your viewing pleasure. This little love is Black Pearl, part of the Spring 2011 release and its sister polishes are Pearl Drop and Pêche Nacrée.
I picked this one up when we went to a wedding in Toronto and I was so pleased to be able to get this early in the season. I nearly didn’t, as several of the concessions we visited were already sold out. But thankfully I struck gold, or black pearl in this case, at the Eaton Centre.
As you can see from the images, it does go a little streaky, but it is the most unusual of colours. Its a blackened teal, kinda of like the edges of a healing bruise (pleasant I know) but I have nothing else like it. For these pics, its based with G & G Stuck on Blu! and topped with Dior Gel Coat.
Formula is good, coverage is excellent, if it was just that *little* less streaky, it would be perfect.
What do you think? Does this have a home in your stash?

Such a pretty polish! I picked up Pearl Drop and Pêche Nacrée back then but I left out Black Pearl. You might think now ‘what happened there that she did not buy the showstopper of the collection??’ … yeah well, that’s what I’m asking myself too … 😦

It’s too bad it’s streaky! The finish looks nice otherwise though 🙂
