Borghese Mezzanotte Blue

I went to Melbourne yesterday shopping. By myself. With no kids. It was nice. I bought nail polish.



Two coats of Borghese Mezzanotte Blue which is a gorgeous inky blue. Only problem is that the formula was CRAP. Streaky and didn't paint well with it's completely dumb brush. And after two coats it looks just like black, more so in real life than in these photos, so that gorgeous inky blue color which was obvious in the bottle just disappeared!


I stamped with a new Bundle Monster plate in Konad White and finished with 1 coat of Seche QD. This was on sale at a chemist for $3 so I am glad I didn't pay full price.

So, did I just get a bung bottle of Borghese or do they notoriously have horrible formulas and brushes?

    Shame that the formula isn't good, it's a great color! And with white stamp, looks crazy!

    I only have one Borghese... it's a one coater and I quite liked the brush. So I think these polishes are hit and miss. Nothing I have a problem with if they're on sale :D

    I think the stamping brings on this beautiful color. Sorry the formula was a fail /:

    Your swatch is very color accurate.Looks like a jelly. The stamping is excellent!

    I love the stamping over it. Looks amazing!
    I have yet to try my Bezzanotte Blue, so can't tell you if yours is a dud or not... the jelly ones I find do to tend to streak and pull though :( So probably not a dud...

    I've never bought this brand, but despite the poor formula, the manicure looks stellar! Glad you had a day of shopping to yourself! Moms need a break from time to time! :-)

    Gosh, I'm dying to get those BM plates, but not until next paycheck - 5/31. I hope they're still available.

    I love this mani! If you look at it long enough it's almost like an optical illusion
