It's Monday. It's Monday and I don't want to get out of bed. It's Monday and I don't want to go to school. It's Monday and my nails look awful. And I'm going to show them to you now. I never had my camera on me when I remembered to take pictures, so these ones you're about to see are from my iPhone. And from inside a Starbucks.
So here it is. Ingrid. And I hate it. It's a shame, too, because this is the color I was looking forward to the most out of my fall polish purchases. On other people I think it does look "greige," but on me I felt like it just looked brown. A poo brown. A gross poo brown. People kept asking me what I had on my nails, though, so maybe it's not as bad as I think it is. When I put it on and didn't like it I thought I would give it a chance. So I wore it until it chipped (four days) and the color never grew on me.
As for the positive, the formula was really nice. The brush was a little weird, though. It kind of reminded me of a Rescue Beauty Lounge brush in the way it fanned out at the end without putting any pressure on it. Does that make sense? Probably not. Anyway, I didn't have any problems with it. Two coats, dried to a high shine, done. My mom liked this polish on me too so I told her she could use it. She came over for dinner last night and I couldn't believe how terrible Ingrid looked on her. She said she only kept it on so that I could see it and she wanted to take it off right away. It looked like poo on her too. How sad!
I was so looking forward to Ingrid. I think it would look better on someone with darker skin, like my friend Amber. Oh well. I'll try to post tomorrow, too. I have a few things I need to get my mind off of, so maybe blogging will help. Hope everyone's well.




Ugh, I hate it when a polish is that disappointing. I'm currently wearing Demure Vixen and can't decide if I like it or not! Hope the rest of your week gets better!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore Demure Vixen. Maybe I'll put that one on...
ReplyDeletebummer that you don't like it! that's the worst.
ReplyDeleteDammit. I ordered this and I'm not sure why I did that when I really wanted Camel. What kind of fool am I?
ReplyDeleteI still haven't gotten around to putting Ingrid on since I saw you. I'm polish-free at the moment and have no idea when I'll get some time to put any on. Well, I guess I have time now. But I'm on the internets, so ... nope.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more. Ingrid looks just beautiful in the bottle with the gold shimmer, but on the nails it dries much darker! I also have very light skin so I guess it could be the issue.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna rant about Ingrid, I just stopped by to tell you how great your handwritting is. =)
ReplyDeleteIS VERY GOOD..............................
ReplyDeleteI hear you! I got Ingrid hoping for a greige-y color, but got sparkly poop brown. :) I've worn it twice and like it more each time, but can't seem to keep RBL Anne off my fingers for now.
