School/Monday Appropriate Polishes

I thought I might as well group all my relatively tame/sheer polishes together that I could get away with at school. Some of these are generic randomers but others are ones that weren't discontinued in the 90's...haha :P
 I have nine polishes that I can choose between for Mondays/Wednesdays, when my nails are likely to be checked.

Without flash. The polishes are, from left to right:
Avon "Minimalistic Peach"
Generic Peachy colour :P
Generic Pearl
Nails Inc "Sloane Mews"
Rimmel "Lycra Wear"
From thumb to little finger:
Avon "Minimalistic Peach"
Generic Peachy colour :P
Generic Pearl
Nails Inc "Sloane Mews"
Rimmel "Lycra Wear"

I'm not too keen on the peach colour on the index finger. It shows up as fine gold microshimmer and is the most noticible out of all the polishes. I might use it for frankening or something. The Generic Pearl, I quite like. (I did one coat of everything) Sloane Mews is pratically a clear polish but I like to layer one of the Boots polishes over it to give it some kick. Rimmel Lycra Wear is one of my favourite gold glitters. It's buildable, and the glitter is so fine and shimmery it goes wild in the sunlight.
Left to right - Generic Silver Glitter, Boots Glitter Babes in Clear, Confetti and Glitter.
From Right to Left (just to keep you on your toes, aha)
Generic Silver Glitter,
Boots Glitter Babes in:
Clear,
Confetti
Glitter.

Confetti just sucks as a polish. It's so hard to pick up any of the hexagonal glitter and when you manage, it just falls off after about twenty minutes or so. However, what I like about Confetti and Glitter is that they tint your nails a slightly, barely noticable pink colour which really makes Sloane Mews pop. The Clear has long strands of bar glitter in them. You usually end up with about four or so on each nail if you make a special effort to get it on. Not bad, I guess. Glitter and the Generic Silver are the most noticable, in my opinion. The glitter in the Generic Silver is larger, though, and a uniform silver, whearas in the Boots Glitter, the glitter is smaller and many different colours. Anyway, I'll choose one of these lucky polishes to wear to school tommorow. Joy, eh?

Love,

Sheers for School - Avon Colour Trend Minimalistic Peach

Hi! Today I went to school with this colour on - a recent acquisition from a family friend. It's a great, very light pearly pink.
That was three coats, and there is still VNL but it's just so pretty! I couldn't stop staring at my nails, they reminded me of Mother of Pearl or something.

 
Do you guys thing this suits me? It looks very golden in this picture but it's not really.

And a bottle shot:


Nails Inc Sloane Mews

Managed to obtain another Nails Inc polish today! It's named Sloane Mews and looks very white in the bottle but once on the nail it was very sheer. Like, really sheer. It took another coat for a passer by to notice, though it was very school appropriate - noticeable, but not. Perfect for Mondays.

It's very hard to capture...on the nail, it looks like quite a translucent white with some very pretty shimmer but this doesn't seem to translate on the camera...
