A England Whispering Waves and Crown of Thistles with Cirque Colors Electric Sky

Nothing to Disclose

I took part in the big A England sale last month. I have to say, this was the polish I most looked forward to. And while this is SUCH a gorgeous polish, and I wore it for a full week, let's take a look at the sadness at the end of the post.

 Whispering Waves: 2 coats. A gorgeous, HIGHLY pigmented (read: staining--see end of post) teal scattered holo with a strong pink flash. I love it, but not the staining it leaves behind.

After two days, I decided to add a stripe of Crown of Thistles and place stars from Cirque Colors Electric Sky down the stripe.

 And on to the sadness. Here were my nails after the removal of Whispering Waves.  I had already been warned that it stains skin badly and to tin foil my nails for removal. I did that and my skin was saved. Unfortunately, my nail beds were still destroyed. Two rounds of cuticle remover, scrubbing my nails with a nail brush and whitening toothpaste, AND a light buffing, I've gotten them back to normal but now they are very weak.

This polish apparently does its damage to most people. I wish there were a warning when I bought it, or maybe, there's need to be more testing on this polish. This is truly unacceptable. I'm pretty scared to ever wear it again. Or maybe I'll try it with a peel off base coat. So just beware!
