China Glaze - Adore - Romantique

Hi there!

Today, I wanted to polish my nails with something quick and effortless. My experience with metallic polishes helped me choose China Glaze's Adore, from the Romantique collection...


My nails painted with China Glaze - Adore.

I only needed to paint one coat to make this polish opaque. It applied like a dream and it dried very quickly. The picture shows a couple of streaky nails, but that was the fault of my being in a hurry- not the polish.

What's your favorite metallic polish? I don't see people sporting them too often :-/

Until next time...

Sally Hansen - Lilac Chantilly

Hi there!

This manicure is for my mom. When I sent her a picture of my nail polish rack, she said her eyes were drawn toward the pretty shape of the bottle near the middle...

My nails painted with Sally Hansen - Lilac Chantilly.

I applied 2 coats to make this polish opaque. It has what I can only describe as a sheer metallic finish- the first coat is mostly sheer, and the second coat achieves a metallic finish. Since it's not a true metallic, I don't recommend it for stamping... unless you're aiming for a subtle look. I tried stamping with it when I was playing around, and it is pretty... it just wasn't as bold as I like.

Until next time...

Graffiti Lace in Lincoln Park

Hi there!

I wanted to use some of my metallics, so I chose 3 to stamp over yesterday's manicure...


My nails painted with OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark Suede.
Stamped with Konad image plate M70.


I used...

From left to right: OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark Suede,
China Glaze - Passion, Sally Hansen - Ruby Chrome,
Nicole by OPI - Positive Energy, Seche Vite, double sided
stamper, scraper, and Konad plate M70.

All of the polishes are fairly new except Ruby Chrome. It's suuuper old, so I'm not sure you'll be able to find it in a store. Each of the colors I stamped with were very easy to work with, but I think any brand of metallic gold, pink, or silver would work for stamping this image.

Until next time...
