Hey everyone! I had a great day yesterday because yesterday was time for Rockin' Park! Rockin' Park is an open air festival in the Netherlands and this year the closing act was Pearl Jam - my favourite band. So of course I had to be there! I went with two friends, Janina and Michèle and even though the weather was crazy hot (30 degrees celcius) we had an awesome time.
Ben Harper & Eddie Vedder performing Under Pressure
The picture above was a surprise, all of the sudden Eddie came on stage and sang a song with Ben Harper. Awesome! Pearl Jam was awesome and the vibe was great, all day long. For more impressions of our day you can check my flickr here.
Now, polish wise, I painted my nails the night before (after taking a shower) with Claire's Mood polish peaceful/confident. A bright green that changes into teal when cold. This pretty much has written awesome all over it - a nail polish that changes colour, omg! Well, it started chipping the next morning.
After a half day of wear, this is what it looked like:
Icky. It started cracking, tearing and polish came off in pieces! I used Nail Tek as my base coat and Nubar Diamont as my top coat like I always do, and never fails, so this was really, really disappointing. I didn't do anything crazy with it. I didn't pick my nails. I didn't scratch the polish off. This was really after doing NOTHING with it.
This is really sad. I got this polish in a swap and I was so excited but it'll end up standing in my helmer or only be polished on my toes. Never going to put this one on my nails again.
At least I scored some goodies.
Plectrums from Rise Against and Pearl Jam (!). Yeeeeeehaw! This is my thumb the day after. How you like that nohhhh? :o)
What's your experience with the mood polishes?

Too bad your polish chipped that bad, but thankfully you had a great day!! <3
I have the calm/wild that I haven't tried yet - no good if it chips right away!
My mood polishes calm and wild, and the yellow/green one don't chip at all! Maybe you need other BC/TC for this polish?
I love the colour though :)
Calm/wild and the green one chipped on me, and also would hardly turn colors. Waste of $$ for me...
I just had this on the other day.. :) no chips for me, I use Orly nail defense as a base and Seche Vite for top coat. It was on 3 days before I got bored of it...
Yes, it was great! :D
Nope, it wasn't! Curious about yours, have to try that one too
I'm not sure if it's the base or top, maybe it was the temperature. But I think the quality of the polish isn't that good either - I'll test again.
I can see why, really blahhh
SV doesn't work for me, hate it. I don't think Diamont has to do with this, maybe my nails really disliked the green and kicked it off. :o)
Eeeek, that chipping looks awful! Well, at least you had a good time! :D
Its not your fault, on me this polish wears badly as well! Love the guitar picks!
wow, that sucks! i went to parkpop yesterday, also very hot!
I had this same chipping problem with the green/yellow mood polish from Claire's. By the end of one day, it had all but fallen completely off.
However, I did wear the green/teal with Orly Bonder basecoat and Sally Hansen Mega Shine topcoat, and got two days wear out of it with no chips and no tipwear (I just changed it because I was bored). Weird...
It was awful, I'll test again later. And I had an amazing time, still hyper. :')
Good to hear I'm not the only one, I was so surprised!
How was it? I heard it was good too!
That's so weird! I'll try my Bonder with OPI RapiDry and Diamont, I really wonder why this started to be all crappy on me.
Wat leuk dat je van Rise Against houd! Ik ben ook gek op Rise Against en heb ze vorig jaar gezien. Helaas was ik 1 van de weinigen die toen geen plectrum kreeg.
Ik moet je wel vertellen dat ik Rise Against toen voor het eerst zag, en hoewel ik ze leuk vind soms een beetje een te erg Green Day gevoel kreeg :o) Ging vooral voor PJ!
ik wil die claire's mood polish al zooo lang.
Alleen nergens in nld verkrijgbaar. Ik kan ze ook niet vinden op ebay of een andere webshop. Waar heb jij ze vandaan? Leuke blog btw
Hoi Nina, ik heb de Claire's Mood Polishes gekregen in een swap. Je kunt ze ook vinden op eBay!
