Today I have To Me, You Are Perfect, which may just be the most amazing polish Noelie has ever created, however it was an utter PITA to photograph, so we have quite a story to explore!


Firstly, this polish is AMAZEBALLS with a side of ice cream.  Seriously, it's fabulous.  I layered it over Barry M Indigo, and was blown away with what I saw - micro glitter and flecking in an utterly epic rainbow of blue, purple, teal, fuchsia, magenta, pink - ALL AT ONCE.


And that's where my troubles started.  I saw paradise, my camera saw THIS - 






This was taken in my normal lighting set up.  Glitter blinding the light - this looks like a shiny blurple swatch.


So, I decamped to the bathroom, where the light is colder and weaker.  Although it captured more of the colour-shifting  spectacle of the polish -






- it also gave my hands a Simpsons makeover.  Not attractive.


At this point, I quit, and decided to go shopping.  It's Christmas Eve, I need a few last minute bits, and it's going to be HELL.  I get in the car and ..... GASP.  Somehow, the indirect natural light within the car is suggesting photographs of an epic magnitude may be possible.






I run inside to grab the camera, ignoring Beth who wants to know why I need to take a camera to Tesco.  I sit there, clicking, and not only does the light now show the glitter - It Shows It As It Changes Colour!






I feel like the man who discovered gold.  By now the car has been on the drive for 15 minutes, and Mark wants to know why I am not at Tesco.  Well tell me, could you stop taking photos of something as beautiful as this?  :)
