NOTD Avon Starry Sky

Now as a rule I am gold not silver person, especially when it comes to nails. So I was a little nervous trying this colour. This silver especially as it is not for the faint hearted.

It is bold and loud, the is nothing subtle about it. The effect is like applying that spray silver paint you get for art work. It is dense and bright, and whats very surprising I loved it. It is a solid colour yet has the effect of glitter. To get the best effect you need to apply two coats and top coat, but for that bold look at the end of the party season it is brilliant.

As a whole I tend to have an on off love affair with Avon polishes, some I adore others I am sorely disappointed with. So this was a 50 /50 risk when I bought it. But for this time I was not disappointed. But as a whole Avon does seem to be shaking off its 50's housewife image and become more up to date. Even so you need to be aware of what works for you as with out the ability to test your purchases like you do in store, it a game of hit and miss.

But this colour certainly does lean to having some fun with nail art. I can see.  I may actually try and apply some beading on this, some thing like MUA constellation collection would be ideal as they would bring some light touch of colour to the look. It would also make a good statement nail against maybe a blue or black look. I will let you know what I try later.

I still prefer my gold and dark colours but for a bit of winter cheer this is the colour for me.
