Scandal - Disco Purple

Today, I have another Scandal for you.  This one is called Disco Purple although, in reality, it's a pink.  So someone at Scandal HQ buggered up the name unless, for whatever reason, in discos, purples are really pink.  I don't go to discos so I can't really comment.

Ok, enough Grandpa Simpson-ing already Jacie!

This is..... ok.  I quite like the pink base but the glitter is a little one dimensional.  Unlike Green Pearl, this just doesn't have any depth to it, making it nice but bland.  Which is a damn shame because it looks so promising in the bottle.

Better luck next time, right?

Scandal - Green Pearl

Wow, it's been a long time between drinks for Scandal polish.  I fell in love with the first - and only - swatch I did but just haven't gotten back to that fab little Korean grocer. Part of it is just that I've been busy.  Another part of it is the fact that I found an even better place that sells pork buns and, so, didn't need to make the trip down.

Well, I eventually got down there last week and, I swear, the squeeing started even before I entered the store.

Green Pearl is even better than Amoled Glam. It's a chunky glitter encased in a light teal base.  Four coats and I was done and, quite seriously, I feel like a mermaid wearing this.

Let's just say that I shall never shun the grocer again, inferior pork buns or not.  Well, that is, so long as the lovely shop assistants let me in the shop again.

Scandal - Amoled Glam

Oh my, I can hear the squeeeeeee-ing from here.

Is this just not the most amazing glitter?! It reminds me of pink champagne were it to be suspended in a disco concoction of glitter.

Serious.  Glitter.  Coma.  You better believe I'm wearing this for Valentine's Day.  The boy doesn't stand a chance.

And now for the mystery.  I have no idea the brand of this lacquer although the top of the bottle says 'Scandal' and the label at the bottom of the bottle says Amoled Glam.  So that's what I'm going with. 

I tried to get some information about the brand from the shop assistant, but the poor thing wilted under the barrage of 'What is this brand', 'Where does it come from', 'Who makes it', 'Now, tell me where the pork buns are'.  I think she needed a nap by the time I left the shop.

Mystery Solved!  Gum Leaf Mafi-ette, Kaz, has found out about the manufacturer and where these can be purchased online.  Seriously, the colour range on these is phenomenal.  I'm buying more.  Forget the ban I imposed on myself five minutes ago.  All bets are off!

Quality-wise, I can't fault this.  This swatch is two coats, which I always find impressive in a glitter.  And it dries to a super shiny finish.  No Seche Vite needed here!  Although, if you're in a hurry, you'll still need to use a fast dry top coat.  This took around 30 minutes to dry.

Another thing I wanted to mention was the bottle.  I'll hide this part under a cut because I know some of you read YGN at work and, whilst the bottle isn't quite p0rnographic, it's still a little risque (Scroll down and click 'Read More').
