Bliss Polish Raspberry Beret Swatch and Review

So last night I was running in my neighbourhood (OK, let's not lie to myself - I was going for a walk). My knee and ankle were sort of sore so I wanted to take it easy. I was wearing a giant oversize hoodie and Umbro shorts, some soccer socks and some ugly running shoes. Paint the picture: It's not attractive. I am listening to Iggy Azalea on my iPod, texting with my bestie Caitlin on my iPhone and all of a sudden this bus stops in front of me and this guy comes out. He is eyeing me up and down - probably looking at my thigh tattoos because they sometimes attract the weirdos - and smiles. I give him eye contact but go back to texting Caitlin. He yells at me to talk to me, "so you run around here often?" I reply, "uh I just started I guess, hopefully I keep it up". He then asks, "so where you do run from?" Uhhhh... Pretty sure the dude just asked me where I live. And uhhh no. I lie and pointed in a vague direction. Later, I swear a similar looking dude drove past me and pulled over. I tried not to give the car eye contact, and then it drove away. Call me paranoid, but what the Hell! Seriously guys: Walking faster, ear buds in, texting... What more says "NO I AM NOT AVAILABLE"? Anyway. Bliss Polish. Let's go back to Bliss Polish. Again, you can visit the shop here. You can also follow Bliss Polish on their Facebook page for more updates.

This one is called Raspberry Beret!

From Bliss Polish: "A pink crelly with various pink, orange and white glitters."

Again, I am still thinking these polishes are jellies but that doesn't matter too much. Nothing much to say about application other than that it's been fantastic and consistent with the other jelly glitter confections I've tried in the last couple of days. Self-levelling and easy to dab more glitters where needed. Here's my swatch in two and a half coats with top coat:

Here's some gold nail studs and bling 3D nail decorations. I think they look pretty good with Raspberry Beret!

Really love the glitter mix here. I like that Yvette picked some complimenting colours as a secondary glitter colour unlike Walking on Sunshine and Sailing. The orange compliments the pink jelly quite nicely.

How do you avoid weirdos on your evening runs? Avoid the evenings? Go to a track? What do you think of Raspberry Beret and its awesome squishiness?

    1. Hahaha I really should have. Next time I'll never do that again. Or we'll Facetime and you can see me huffing and puffing while I strut my pathetic athleticism.
