Gabrini 317 and 355

Hello my lovelies! It's time for a Pink Wednesday! I recently decided that I don't have many pinks in my collection and that I need to get some more. So I got a couple of pinks from Gabrini because they are very inexpensive and they are available where I live. I swatched them 2 weeks ago and it was a total disaster. Honestly, pinks are impossible to photograph. The photos were way off and I had no idea how to edit them. I finally managed to get them as close to the original color as possible. These 2 polishes might look similar, but they are different in reality. Here's the first one.

317 is a coral leaning pink. It has some orange in it so it's a bit warmer. The formula is that of a crelly, because it's pretty opaque but still very squishy. I did 2 coats for these swatches and there was a tiny bit of visible nail line, but it didn't show up in pictures. I like the Gabrini brand because they have a nice formula and application. They do contain toluene however, so if you want to stay away from the chemical you better avoid them.

I like this color, even though warm polishes don't look that good on me. The next one looks better on my skin tone though.

355 is more of a cooler toned pink. I googled pink shades and this one seems to be called bright pink. At least that's the closest I could find. I admit that it looks a tad too toned down to be called "bright". The formula is similar with the other one. There are 2 coats on my nails in the pictures. These swatches also have top coat because I like my nails extra shiny.

If you are a lover of pink, I'm sure you like these polishes. And if you are not, it's still nice to have some basic shades in your collection. I'm glad I got these because I'm gonna use them for lots of nail art in the future.
