The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 6: Coral Colours - Silk

Don't forget to enter my Blogiversary Giveaway and Nail Art Competition! There's three Born Pretty Store gift vouchers to be won. Entries close tomorrow!

 Coral Colours -  Silk
4 coats

Silk is a frosty purple shimmer. My bottle is really old. This was one of my original polishes from about 10 years ago. I think it was my mums and I claimed it as my own. It was my first favourite polish, I loved to use it for pedicures. It looks a little duochrome in the picture above but it's not really, it looks more like the bottle colour in person. My camera was just having a really hard time trying to focus on it.
My bottle was very dried up, you can see how it looked in the picture below before I added a heap of Seche Restore to it. I think this colour is still available today, it's listed on the Coral Colors website but it looks a lot darker. I want to buy a new bottle to see how it compares.

  2. So cool!! I love seeing vintage polishes =) Seche Restore is fantastic, I once revived a completey dried up bottle of Urban Decay polish with it.

  4. I love this colour - shouldn't surprise you that I was in my prime way back in the '80's and '90's. I used to wear polishes like this all the time, haha!

    1. I've seen a lot of frost polishes from the 80s and 90s. I grew up in the 90s but didn't buy many polishes.

  6. I own some seche restore but havn't used it yet. But i was talking to a women who does nails & she said restore breaks down the color of nail polish? or maybe yours is lighter because it is just old

    1. I've never heard that before but that could be why it's lighter! Thanks for letting me know. :)
