I recently got this textured polish in my Nail Canada Polish haul. I wanted
to check out a texture polish so I chose China Glaze’s Unrefined, a matte barbie pink.
Now when I was taking pictures of this polish, I noted that it was almost impossible to get my camera to really show how blue based the pink is. The first picture below is a good representation of what the colour really looks like IRL. It was taken by the window. I would have liked to taken all the pictures by the window but it has been so cloudy rainy here for almost a week it was just not happening. Grrrr.
IRL, I really like how almost neon-y the pink looks against my skin tone. It will make a great summer polish. I had originally thought the texture might put me off, but nope I found I was actually touching the textured surface of my nails more. LOL is that weird?
I applied Unrefined over a base coat only and no top
coat. This polish applies pretty easily and was completely opaque in two coats.
It lasted 3 days with some chipping happening on the fourth day.

Even when I looked at swatches online I noticed the same
thing, this colour photographs more baby pink than barbie pink it is closer to. Weird! But I am glad it came out a bit darker IRL. :)
I am kinda digging
the texture polishes. Now I want to try the Zoya Pixie Dusts...
How about you guys? What are your thoughts on textured
polishes?
