Nail Polish Haul

Are you excited about warmer weather? I am!
I love wearing opentoed shoes and showing off my pedicure. I have been trying not to buy makeup.
Nail polish doesn't count right?
Swatches coming soon!

These beauties are from China Glaze Spring 2011 Collection.
There are 12 in total. I only selected ones I thought would compliment my skintone. I prefer opaque shades.





The next group are some from my wish list.

Diva Bride (Pale Pink cream),
Naked (Coral w/ shimmer),
Rich and Famous (Blue based Pink Cream),
Fifth Avenue (Light Mauve Cream),
Pool Party (Neon Pink),
Ruby Pumps (Apple Red Glitter),
Four Leaf Clover (Kelly Green Cream),
Recycle (Steel Gray Cream)

I bought these Sinful Colors from a limited edition display at Walgreens. It was a complete impulse buy. There were a few more colors, but I liked these best. I believe the theme is inspired by Greece.
The light green with shimmer is called OLYMPIA.
The beautiful blue color is called GRECIAN SUN.

Have you purchased any nail polish lately?

Revlon (Rite Aid Buy 1 Get 1 50% off with $4 Up Rewards)

Gray Suede 705 (A interesting color, I thought to be sickly gray with the 1st coat, it improved with each additional coat. I ended up doing 3 to get it to look the way I wanted)

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Revlon MINTED

I am loving Revlon MINTED!

It reminds me of creamy sherbert.

I am so ready for Spring.

This formula was a little bit streaky after two coats. I used three for it to appear opaque. The result was a little bumpy because I was eager to get it opaque. I put too much polish on the brush. I was watching Celebrity Apprentice in my living room, so my lighting was not the best. Energy Saver bulbs are great for the enviornment, but terrible for painting nails.
I didn't realize it was bumpy until this morning. UGH!

Overall, I'm enjoying the color. The next time I use this I will take my time.

Indirect Sunlight Indoors No Flash

I think the colors create an interesting contrast against my brown skin.

Would you rock this shade in the Winter?

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Revlon PERPLEX

This color is rumored to be a dupe
for the more expensive
Chanel PARADOXAL.
I won it in a give away from
nailsbeautiqued

I love it! It's very chic.
I would describe it as a dirty plum.
You might be able to find this treasure
in the clearance bin at your local drugstore or at
BigLots.

A Peek In The Makeup Drawers - Nail Polish (Pic Heavy)

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Wet N Wild craze MORBID

It was super overcast today.
I attempted to compensate for the cloud cover by using the white balance feature.
The camera truly does not capture the real beauty of this nail polish.
It is supposed to be even more cloudy tomorrow, so there is no chance of sharing this in bright sunlight.
Photos are taken in indirect sunlight with flash. Blurred photos are taken without flash.

This polish is very unique. It seems to be a blackened Hunter Green with micro-fine green and teal shimmer. This probably as close as I will ever get to one polish I've been lemming, NARS Zulu.
*smiles*


1x NK Ridge Filler Base Coat
3x Wet N Wild MORBID
(it was opaque with just 2 coats)
1x NK Fast Dry Top Coat on all but the ring finger and thumb. The glitter eats up top coat. I didn't want to fight that today. I was happy with a semi-matte finish on the glitter fingers. I thought it created a nice contrast.

I stacked Sinful Colors
Nail Junkie and Call You later
on the ring finger and thumb.
I used a dabbing method.
