Spoiled Blues

Hi there!

I received a request to do a side-by-side of these 2 polishes...

My nails painted with Spoiled - Good Karma and Plenty of Fish in the Sea.

I painted 2 coats of each polish to achieve what's pictured. They both applied nicely and, unlike many other Spoiled polishes I've tried, the brushes were easy to work with.

Good Karma (index and ring finger) is a teal blue with flashes of teal, while Plenty of Fish in the Sea (middle and pinky finger) is bright blue with flashes of teal. They each have shimmer that make them look like metallic polishes.

Do you own either one of these?

Until next time...

China Glaze - Exotic Encounters

Hi there!

This is the first polish I decided to try from the On Safari collection...

My nails painted with China Glaze - Exotic Encounters.

I painted 2 coats to achieve what's pictured. In some lighting, it appears as a greyed teal... while in other lighting, it can appear emerald. Either way, I like it :-)

Will you be adding Exotic Encounters to your collection?

China Glaze - Aquadelic Versus For Audrey

Hi there!

This is Aquadelic and For Audrey...

My nails painted with China Glaze Aquadelic and For Audrey.
Aquadelic is painted on my pointer and ring finger.
For Audrey is painted on my middle and pinky finger.

I painted 2 coats of each polish to achieve what's pictured. At first glance, they look the same- but For Audrey has a little bit more blue and grey in it. The formulas and dry time seem to be the same.

Here are the bottles...

China Glaze - Aquadelic and For Audrey.

I like them both... but if you own one, I don't think you need to own the other. Will you be purchasing Aquadelic?

Until next time...

Teal Leopard

Hi there!

I've been wearing this manicure for a few days now...

My nails painted with Diamond Cosmetics - Don't Teal My Heart Away.
Stamped with Konad image plate M57. 

I used China Glaze's Adore to stamp over my ovarian cancer awareness manicure. Adore stamped very easily, as do the rest of the polishes from the Romantique collection :-) I topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite.

What do you think of this color combination?

Until next time...

Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Hi there!

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and teal is the color for it. Teal Toes works to raise awareness, and while I don't have a teal pedicure to share... I am sporting a pretty teal manicure...

My nails painted with Diamond Cosmetics - Don't Teal My Heart Away.

I painted only 1 coat for this polish to be opaque, and it dried very quickly. Pretty, right?

Will you be wearing teal this month?

Until next time...

Sinful Colors - Rise and Shine

Hi there!

I'm kind of bummed. I painted a lovely manicure, and as I was cleaning up around my cuticles- I completely smudged it! It wasn't just a small smudge that could easily be fixed by applying another coat of polish or by pressing down on the polish to even it back out... somehow, I managed to move the polish from my fingernail up onto my skin. Woopsies! So I'll show you what I have left...

My nails painted with Sinful Colors - Rise and Shine.

I painted 1 regular coat and 1 thick coat to achieve what's pictured. I added a thick coat because the brush in my particular bottle has some very coarse bristles and it left light marks on my nails with just a regular coat. It's a great color with pretty green glass flecks throughout.

I think that my smudging my nails was some type of a sign from the procrastination gods. I haven't been putting much effort into landscaping our backyard... so I suppose I'll get to work and I won't worry about fixing my nails until tomorrow morning.

Until next time...
