Swatch Spam: Flower by Drew Barrymore, Gosh, Hean, Hedy's Oke Doke and Depend

In this post I have swatches of 5 random polishes to show you: Flower by Drew Barrymore NP8, Gosh Lambada, Hean Aubergine, Hedy's Oke Doke Camo Loco and Depend 362!

Flower by Drew Barrymore NP8

Flower by Drew Barrymore NP8 is a teal leaning strong green cream. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

Gosh 60 Lambada

Gosh 60 Lambada is a bright red cream. It is fairly opaque in 1 coat, but this is 2 coats and a top coat.

Hean 617 Aubergine

Hean 617 Aubergine is from the Color Obsession selection. And it is aubergine also called eggplant purple with a subtle shimmer, and it dries with a beautiful and shiny finish. Unfortunately it isn’t super opaque, so this is 3 easy coats without a top coat.

I showed it to my husband outside in the sun, and he spontaneously said WOOOW THAT one is truly gorgeous! – and it is, in the sun it’s like glowing from inside. 

Hedy’s oke.doke nail colour in Camo Loco

Hedy’s oke.doke nail colour in Camo Loco is a shimmery metallic army green. It is not too brush-strokey to work with, and this is 2 coats – and I chose to use a top coat for these photos.

Depend 362

Depend with the interesting name 362 is a mid yellow, neither pastel nor sunny yellow cream. It is easy to work with, and in most cases 2 rich would be OK, this is however 3 coats without a top coat.

So - do you see anything you like?
