Step out with these multi-faceted jewel tones, rich reds, titillating taupes and smoldering sands.

I trimmed my nails down ^_^ 

Riveter Rouge...Red with gold sparkly glitter it shimmers and glows. Picture shows silver glitter, but in real life its gold.

Foxy...Reddish brown copper shimmer, this color was hard to capture. Picture taken without flash. More true to color
With flash

Goin' My Way...Brown Frost gold/copper shimmer

Classic Camel...Gold Micro glitter sparkle.  Most reviews don't favor this one but it's unique to me and I love it!

Swing Baby...Taupe/champagne  shimmer foil packed  with silver micro glitter. It glows!

 
Ingrid...Chocolate brown creme with gold sparkle micro glitter and you can see the glitter

  
Hey Doll...Pink/brown base, Rose Mauve with micro silver glitter shimmer.  Really pretty!

 
Bogie...Plum/purple with silver micro shimmer. Love it!

First Class Ticket...Deep Purple with blue/silver micro glitter shimmer

 
Midnight Mission...Navy Blue packed with micro glitter silver shimmer.  So gorgeous Love it!

Emerald Fitzgerald...Turquoise green with micro silver glitter shimmer.  It is a beautiful blue/green. Love it!

Jitterbug...Grey chrome but looks like a foil. Packed with micro silver glitter shimmer. it's really bright and sparkly, you will get noticed wear it.  Love the name. (ha ha)

Great formula on these not thin or thick.  No application issues what-so-ever.  Applied 2 coats. I love this collection its a great selection of colors and I really am impressed with Classic Camel because its unique in my collection.  These are great for Fall or really anytime you want to wear them.  Dries fairly quickly and no problems with removal so you don't have to worry about smurf fingers on any of these.

JESSICA ALBA WEARS CHINA GLAZE SCARED HEART FOR PHOTOSHOOT

JESSICA ALBA WEARS CHINA GLAZE SCARED HEART FOR PHOTOSHOOT


Marsha Bialo Works Her Manicurist Magic For Genlux Magazine

( Los Angeles , CA ) – June 2010: Celebrity manicurist Marsha Bialo recently gave the gorgeous Jessica Alba a manicure with China Glaze Sacred Heart for the cover of the summer 2010 issue of Genlux Magazine. The neon red polish which launched in 2008 as part of the Ink Collection, complimented Jessica’s olive skin tone perfectly!

Marsha and the stylist were working hard trying to find the perfect color that would represent a good transition of summer nail trends into fall. They finally agreed that China Glaze Scared Heart would be an excellent choice because of its neon base combined with the richness of red. Not one to give so quickly on the importance of a well-done manicure, Marsha was also campaigning for Jessica’s hands to be shown in the shot and succeeded! Not only are her hands prominently displayed though out the editorial, but they even made the front cover. Poised with her hands and fingers grazing her collar bone, the photo chosen for the cover came out absolutely perfect. A China Glaze beauty shot indeed!

China Glaze colors may change from season to season, but our longwearing formula continues to provide consumers with the highest quality nail lacquers. Designed with the professional in mind, our 220-strand brush is great for ease of application. Best of all, our non-thickening formula provides perfectly even coverage.

ESSIE Demure Vixen Oh so Elegant

It's Friday, The best day of the week! YaY!  I went to Ulta and picked up a couple of Essie's along with some others (will reveal that later. ha ha) .  Today I am showing Demure Vixen.  From the promo pictures I thought it was meh.  After seeing it in the store holding it up to the light its a very beautiful unique polish. (put a smile on my face) I would describe it as a taupe with a pinky/purple flash to it.  The formula is spectacular.  I am impressed ^_^

                                           Demure Vixen
I used 2 coats
 very soft and elegant
I really love this one 2 thumps up

Do you have this one?  If not, what are you waiting for?  I think you need it in your collection.

I hope you have a great weekend and until next time please be safe and have a great nail polish day ^_^

 

From Far Far Away!!

Good Morning,  ^_^ While searching on ebay sometime ago I came across this lovely polish *Orlane*.  Love collecting nail lacquers that aren't readily available to the US.  All the way across the pond from Paris.  I would describe this as gun metal/charcoal grey with a hint of blue shimmer  the shimmer is not noticeable from the pictures.  Very smooth application and required 3 coats to cover up my visible nail line.   The bottle is just beautiful the top looks like a Lapis Stone.

                                      #92


 Here are the swatches:

 

I wish you could see the blue shimmer
Sure would like to have more of these lacquers.  Do you know where I can get more Orlane's other then from ebay?

Until next time please have a great nail polish day.

NYX Asphalt layered with Wet N Wild Black Creme

Good Morning to you on this hump day Wednesday! NYX named this polish Asphalt doesn't look like Asphalt to me.  Or,  maybe they mean its Asphalt with bling. Didn't know this polish was sheer it took 4 coats...sorry for the tip wear...wore this polish a few days before I took pictures and I didn't wrap my tips. Oops! 


                                  Asphalt
I decided to try this again layered with  back.  
I think wet n wild black creme is an incredible 1 coater super shiny black polish. Can't beat it for $1.00.  I hear that Illamasqua Boosch is the best black creme on the market. Maybe one day I'll purchase it and whenever I do it better knock my socks off! Lol! Somebody tell me who owns Boosch is it all that and a bag of chips?
 
I think Asphalt looks alot better layered and only needed
1 coat 
Flower back ground is some type of Elephant Ear.  They come back every summer.

My friend just started a blog. Please check her out here



Until next time please have a great nail polish day ^_^

 

SinfulColors Mint Apple!

Good Morning, ^_^  Mint green polishes are one of my favorites.  Seems I buy them in every brand.  Sinful Colors Mint Apple is a beautiful teal/green with slight shimmer.  They are exclusive to Walgreen Drug Stores and they have an array of colors to choose from.  What a great price for only $1.99 can't beat that. It's even greater when they are buy 1 get one free! 

                             Mint Apple
                                Applied nicely, used 2 coats 
This is a Jade Plant..it survived our cold winter.
♥♥♥ 
Until next time please have a great nail polish day. ^_^

                                                    Blue Monday by Annie Lee

Good Morning,  another Blue Monday,  I tell you the weekends just go too fast!  It was another hot one and we got lots of rain.  Did you buy any new polishes? Any good sales?  I missed the postman and got one of those slips that says "Sorry we missed you!" Aw, schucks I wonder what it was. Right after work I'm going straight to the post office to pick up my package.  (rubbing hands together) Well,  I have another blue polish to show you.  Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Ocean View.  A mid-tone frosty blue.  The formula is great, used 2 coats.
