Another swatch!

Today's entry is brought to you by China Glaze's "Sex on the Beach". This is a mid-tone pink color that leans mauve and a tiny bit purple. It has very fine silver shimmer throughout, and is just a really pretty pink color. It took 2-3 coats to be opaque and had a nice formula.

Thanks for stopping by!

And even more swatches!

Hope you guys aren't getting sick of these! :) Today I'll be sharing a color with you that I was a little hesitant on purchasing. It's China Glaze's "Knotty". I purchased this online hoping I'd like it. It's a nude, beige color with iridescent shimmer in it. I think it's actually a really pretty color. It took 3-4 coats to get the coverage I was looking for. I think it's just a nice, unassuming shade that doesn't stand out, but has a hint of razzle dazzle to it. Just enough if the light catches it right. It will be a color on my summer list for sure, especially if I need to wear something work appropriate but still want a little bling bling :)

Swatches Cont'd

Today I will be sharing a polish that I wanted to love so, so bad, but unfortunately, it flat out sucked. It's from the China Glaze's Wizard of Oz Collection, and it's titled, "Good Witch?". This was like trying to polish your nails with water. It was soooo liquid-y, and pooled up in my cuticles. I wasn't applying it thick, either! Just trying to get an even coat. Maybe I'll leave the cap off for a while and see if it doesn't thicken up a little. It's such a pretty pink color with pink glitter. Maybe today was just a bad polish day :(

This is about five coats. To me, that is insane to get full coverage. Looking back at the pictures, it doesn't look as bad as I remember it looking, but I still remember the nightmare that was applying it. We'll see, Good Witch, we'll see.

Swatches Galore!

Hi Everyone! Whew, been super busy lately! I am going to be traveling for work until Sunday, so I'm going to try my hand at scheduled posts. Hopefully it works! I have been going through all of my polishes and picking out ones I have yet to wear. I am still on my polish (and makeup) buying hiatus... (come on Easter!) so I am trying to wear every polish I own before I buy anything new. I love a good challenge! :) Ok, so for today, I will be sharing with you China Glaze's "Strawberry Fields". Words can not express my love of this polish. It is bright pink with gold shimmery glitter. It is SO PRETTY. Definitely one I will be wearing throughout summer! Here it is:

 

This is 3 coats. It applies very nicely and is a good consistency. I just love the way light reflects off of it! 

Well thanks for reading and have a great day everybody! :)

Orange Monday!

Hey there! Hope everyone had a great weekend! The weather in Chicago on Saturday and Sunday was beautiful! FINALLY! Thank you Ma Natch! (Mother Nature) It's cooler today, but I'm hoping snow days are behind us. Although around these parts, you never know! I was watching some Tosh.O last night and settled on painting my nails with Zoya Tanzy. A bright, sparkly, tangerine orange/gold color. It's really pretty, and a perfect spring/summer orange!

I'm thinking about adding some gray crackle over this! There might be an update soon! :)

Update! Tanzy with China Glaze "Cracked Concrete" Crackle polish! I like this combo!

Now, with a top coat!

I'm a fan! :)

Simple Sunday

Hi guys! Just wanted to do a quick update with a simple, single polish. So without further adieu, here is Zoya Faye! Zoya describes her as: A bronzed mauve with purple and brown undertones flooded with bright gold sparkle. She is a very complex color and changes constantly depending on what light she's in. But it's a beautiful polish! This is three coats:

Have a great rest of your weekend everyone! :)

It's Friday! Oh Happy Day!

Good morning! Today is crappy and rainy in the Chicago area, and to spruce it up, I settled on a pink with glitter mani. No better way to brighten a day than by looking at your nails and seeing a bright pretty color with some bling, that's what I always say!... Or maybe I just said that now.... err... never mind. Anyway, behold the succulent Zoya Areej! Zoya describes it as: Soft, muted cool fuchsia pink with an opaque cream finish. A pink for when you want a bold pop of color but not something neon-bright.I think that's pretty spot on... it's not obnoxious in your face pink, it's just a nice mix of mostly pink with a little purple. Again, Zoya formulas are second to none. It's such a forgiving polish... even if you get a streak or a blob, it just kind of evens itself out in the drying process. It's luscious! Ok, so here it is!

Me likey! Now, for the bling-bling, I used China Glaze's Fairy Dust. It's got fine particles of holographic glitter throughout a clear base. Perfect for adding a touch of sparkle! And I loooooooooves me some sparkle!

So lovely! Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend! Happy Nail Painting!! :)
