Surprise...

This little beauty really came as a surprise!
I´ll travel to the States again later in the year and that gives me the opportunity to order Opi, Essie, Deborah Lippman at prices a European girl can only dream of. Especially as I can have them sent to a relative and that makes them cheaper still.
Addicted as I am to nailpolish, 16€ for an Opi is still a price I am not willing to pay.
But when visiting our local chemist I fell for this little number: Raspberry Fields Forever by Clarice.

It´s really not expensive at all, but applies well, looks nice after one coat (though I am wearing two in the pic) and shows no chips and damages even after gardening (with gloves of course). I used Essence Gel-Look Topcoat on it, which is not entirely satisfactory. It takes forever to dry and even if you are extremely careful id will still get dents and bubbles a long time after applying.
