Absolutely awesome colour! I loved the colour on the website and I loved it in the bottle… time to put it to the test!

With the bottle came a label that says that with the suede range, (a) it won’t last as long as the normal range of polishes, and (b) not to put top coat, drying products, hand lotion, and (c) to do an all suede.

I don’t know why but I decided to put base coat on (since it’s not technically a top coat…) and then painted my left hand (I’m right handed)… Turned out to be the hardest thing I’ve ever painted on my nails!!! First stroke (middle of the finger) comes out perfectly, next one practically scraped off the first stroke, and so on… it was practically too slippery… But I finished the left hand with two coats. Looks lovely, but I got it all over my fingers (eek!).

Time for the right hand, the one I dread doing… it turned out tremendously monstrously horrid that I had to remove everything (with great difficulty trying not to touch the left fingernails!).

Deciding against a base coat and painted… Much easier but still tough!!! I only had to remove my pinky nail with this. So definitely no base coat!

The left hand (with base coat) looks a tad shinier than the right… but not paying so much attention to it, they look pretty much the same! And because of the texture of my finished nails (a little bit rough – I’m scared it will rub onto my clothes, etc), I’m really tempted to put top coat on to smooth it out a bit… but because it said not to, I’ll probably hold out this time and test it next time to see what’s different.

So yeah, difficult, otherwise lovely!!! <3
