Hi everyone,

At the end of last year, there was a collection by China Glaze called Operation Colour. In this collection was this AhMayZing colour called Agent Lavender, which applies pretty horribly, but the gorgeous colour makes it all okay.

I wanted to update the colour to the end of the Summer 2009 by adding a Konad image (plate M65 ) with the Pink Konad Polish on top of the polish and then making the nails matte with the Nail Tek Foundation II Ridge Filling Foundation. I also used NailTek as a basecoat.

If you're like me and you're trying to find a matte topcoat in your country (they don't ship many nailpolishes to Europe anymore... so my nailaddiction will be very limited again :( ), don't try the Essie Man-e Cure, it's said it makes the nails matte, but it doesn't. The way I make them matte (with the Ridgefiller) is something that's also given as a tip in Elle Magazine (I did it before the tip came out ;) ). Using a ridge filler as a topcoat does lengthen drying time a lot though, so it's not a perfect solution.

As you can see it's a soft pastel and it only took two coats to get this kind of opague-ness. The best thing about this colour is that it makes you look more tan. I also haven't found one person who couldn't wear this colour... so that's good.
