China Glaze "No Name Yet"

"No Name Yet" first caught my attention in one of Scrangie's posts. it's a lavender/periwinkle creme, more pink (lavender) in the sun and more blue (periwinkle) in the shade. Polish Insomniac noted this interesting quirk in one of her posts. "No Name Yet" is an older non-B3F black label polish and i don't know old my bottle is. here is the My Latest Obsession China Glaze Wiki entry about it.
normally i'd shy away from such a cool-toned colour but when i saw it person at a nail supply store, i thought it just might be saturated and dark enough for me to pull off...and i was right. i totally love this polish. the formula was soooo easy to work with and smoothed out so nicely. i could have gotten away with 2 coats if i was careful, but since i wasn't i had to do some 3rd coat bald patching. but its beauty was worth the bother.

  1. Oi! I found an unlabeled bottle of this and thought I had a dupe, so I put in back in a rare display of discipline. It looks lovely on you, and I prefer the old font a lot more. I guess I should have just gotten it!
