Old Del Sol Polishes Tested for 'nadding

First here's my setup for 'nadding. I did this one night where my bf was putting in can lights and I couldn't watch TV while doing my nails.


This is what I won from polish-lounge.com from answering her reading quiz correctly. This was my first non-nad plate!
I decided to test the del sol nail polish that I got from my mom's closet, Medusa. I tested it over Jessica Silk (see a true color swatch here). So I got out the new plate from polish-lounge and went to work.

Thumb and ring finger has Pure Ice Outrageous (I would use this again for 'nadding), pointer has Pure Ice New Lilac (not the greatest for 'nadding) and pinky has Del Sol Medusa (also not a good one for 'nadding). Middle finger has nothing. As you can see I am not that great at lining up the image :)

This is the same as the picture above.

I don't know if anyone else has used Del Sol polishes for Konad, but I wouldn't recommend them. This could also be a problem because mine as so old, too.

Thanks for looking!

I Raided My Mom's Closet and Look What I Found!

Ok, ok so it's my really old stash from high school found at my mom's house, but whatever it's still nail polish!!!


Let's start with the awesome part: tons of del sol nail polishes from our visit to Nasau.






I totally forgot about all of these! There is even a second of Looking Glass in there. I think some of these are discontinued, too! More on the del sol's in a minute.



Here's an OLD Sinful Japonese Violet, then 2 Jessica's Silk (swatch below) and Pashmina.





No brand name for the blue or the yellow, but the colors are Liquid Affair and Space Girlz. The one on the right is a Bonnie Bell (i believe) scented topcoat in pretty (haven't smelled it yet-- don't know if I should go there :) )

Revlon Super Speed in Typhoon, Maybelline Utlimate Wear in Sun Drops, and L'Oreal Jet-Set Quick Dry in Dawning Rose

This is Del Sol Medusa. I hate how this turned out on my nails. It just looks old and makes my nails look really yellow. I think this is about 4 coats.

In the sun. As you can see it's not really changing colors. It looks a little purple.

but it looks nothing like it should. I even let the bottle sit in the sun for about a half an hour and it didn't end up any darker. Maybe these would be good to use for 'nadding (this will be in a later post).

Here is a close up of Jessica Silk, lovely in the bottle.

Very pretty on the nail, but it took forever to dry- probably the old age.

There will be more swatches of these polishes coming up! If there are any that you would like to see swatched, let me know in the comments!

Thanks for looking!
