Swatch: CND No. 565 Sweet

(above camera flash - below natural light)

My first CND polish and I really love it. I love the color, the formula and the brush.

The only let down is that is really similar to other two colors that I already have: ORLY Pixy Stix and basic 42. They are not identical but very similar. Below you can see a comparision.

The first time I saw Sweet was on ALU and I loved it immediately. I didn't purchase his "twin" Sugar Sparkle because I already had a KIKO polish that looked similar so here is Sweet with a layer of KIKO 228. The final look is ok but maybe in the future I will still purchase Sugar Sparkle because it seem really nice.

Here the comparion I talked about above.

As you can see the colors are similar but different.

Compared to Sweet, Pixy Stix is more peach toned and the basic polish is more darker.

NOTD: Ruffian Nails

Like everyone else I was curious to try the new CND creation... Ruffian Nails.

My result is different from the original but I still like it.

For the gold part I used MAYBELLINE FOREVER STRONG No.810 Chic Gold and for the black I used Deborah Shine Tech No.30.

Then using essie Matte About You Top Coat I mattified the black part only.

I also added some gold flat glitter on my ring finger but I didn't like the result.
