Quick update on the <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.aldoshoes.com');" href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng" target="_blank">Aldo</a> polishes <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/04/28/coming-soon-aldo-nail-polish/" target="_blank">I blogged about the other day</a>—samples arrived in the mail shortly thereafter, so I gave 'em a test drive. And I've gotta say: I'm impressed!

The first thing you'll notice is how über-bright the colours are. But even if you're usually a pale pink kind of gal, you might surprise yourself at how much you like these shades. (I did.) I'll probably skip the yellow (Daisy on a Date) and bright blue  (Thunderbolt Love), but <strong>I'm loving the violet </strong>(La Vie Violette, not pictured) <strong>and the various pinks</strong> (Bright Idea, Pink of Me and Mini Bikini).

The quality is also great. No issues with the brush (sorry, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/04/23/tried-tested-joe-fresh-nail-polish/">Joe Fresh</a>) and these seem to dry really, really fast. There's also a clear, fast-drying base/top coat in the collection.

I can confirm that they're in stores now and are just $6 (not $6.99 as I posted earlier). Definitely a beauty bargain for summer toes (and fingers, if you dare)!
