Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Revlon Black Lingerie, 2 coats of Happy Holly-days<br />
Top Coat: 1 coat of Gelous, 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Happy Holly-days is a combination of red and green hexagonal matte glitter. Since this was a polish clearly meant for layering, I figured that black would contrast the most against the seasonal mix. The glitter kind of "glowed" against the black, it was an interesting effect.<br />
<br />
The glitter in this polish did require some "placement" and because I didn't do such a good job of that, there was a lot of bubbling. Which is kind of obvious in my pictures. This made me a little sad. It would have been a perfect manicure otherwise!<br />

<br />
For the remainder of the month my nails will be donning seasonally-appropriate shades. And almost all the ones I have are from indie brands. I feel like indie brands have been KILLING it all year but really did an awesome job with the Christmas collections. I have spent far too much money on Christmas polishes! And I probably have more than I can wear for the rest of the month (this coming from someone who changes their polish three times a week).<br />
<br />
Anyway. Today I have Trimming the Tree from 365 Days of Color. Let's take a look...<br />

<br />
Base coat: 1 coat of Nail Tek Foundation II<br />
Polish: 2 coats of OPI Jade is the New Black, 2 coats of Trimming the Tree<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Trimming the Tree is a wintergreen jelly filled with emerald, brown, and gold glitter. This polish seemed like it would be too sheer for my liking, so I decided to layer it over the OPI color.<br />
<br />
It's a very pretty glitter but more on the subtle side. I didn't get much glitter, nor did it spread over my nails nicely. But it doesn't bother me too much because I'm content with the end result.<br />
<br />
You know what's cool about this polish though? It's SCENTED! Normally, that doesn't do much for me but I loved that aspect of this polish. It smells like a pine-y soap or cologne or something. Definitely not straight pine. Typically, I hate pine scents...like can't stand them! But I really enjoyed this scent. And when I was actually painting my nails with this polish, that's all I could smell. Which I guess is better than the normal chemical smell.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure how long the scent lasts cause I'm still wearing it and it still smells nice and strong.<br />
<br />
You can find this polish on the 365 days of Color website <a href="http://www.365daysofcolorpolishes.com/">here</a>. I got the mini which was $4.50. I would like her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/365daysofcolor?fref=ts">Facebook</a> page or follow her on <a href="https://twitter.com/365dayssunny">Twitter</a> because she often has promotions and deals!<br />

<br />
Base coat: <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Polish: 3 coats of FeiFei, 2 coats of China Glaze First Mate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Top Coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I feel that Zoya is the best at polish descriptions, so I'm taking a page from their book on this one...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">" A medium steel blue base with heavy gold, blue and pink iridescent metallic sparkle."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">And the accent nail is my go-to navy blue, First Mate. Both are equally awesome and easy to work with. FeiFei is a bit sheer but at 3 coats, she's good to go! She sparkles so beautifully in the sun.

MyTenFriends and Takko Lacquer are both new indie brands to me. Their polishes are stunningly beautiful. Like what you see in my pictures is nothing compared to how gorgeous they are in person. They are almost too pretty to use! I kind of just want to stare at them in the bottle forever. But seriously. When I unearthed Jimi's Jacket from my package, my heart almost stopped. The golden shimmer and flakes in this is just too pretty for words!!!! And the multi-chromatic shimmer of Kiss the Sky is hypnotizing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Essence and OPI I got from Ulta. I had a $5 off $10 coupon so I got all those polishes for $12 and change. Pretty good deal, if I do say so myself!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can visit MyTenFriends on Etsy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MyTenFriends">here</a>. The seller is really nice and friendly and ships quickly! I totally recommend checking her shop out.</div>

Today I have a glitter combination that took the nail polish world by storm when it first came out. Something so simple as the contrast of black and white and everyone just went crazy!

I think the combination of aqua blue and black and white glitter just looks AWESOME. It's such a classic and eye-catching pairing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sticks n' Stones is one of many, many black and white glitter combinations in the indie world. And this one is supposed to be a pretty close dupe of the ever popular Lynderella Connect the Dots, the one that started it all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't have that to compare it to. But I can say I loved this rendition by Cover Band Lacquer. It was very easy to work with and jam packed with glitter! It was kind of bumpy but I feel that's inevitable with chunky glitters like this. Just do your best to coat it with thick top coat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Can I also just take a moment to dote on how wonderful For Audrey is? This is one of my first China Glaze polishes, and one that I bought when I was still a "muggle". That is...not a crazy person obsessed with nail polish! And after sitting in my nail polish rack for a few years, it still worked perfectly. No thickness, or ugliness. Just applied like butter, like they say....and the color is still utterly gorgeous as well!</div>

Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat<br />
Polish: 4 coats of Candy Corn<br />
Top Coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Candy Corn clearly resembles its namesake. It's a temperature changing polish that shifts from yellow to tangerine!<br />
<br />
It was really fun to wear because it's my first experience with a color-changing polish. I have to admit though that I wasn't a fan of the yellow shade. And since I guess my hands are really warm or something, that's what I typically saw on my nails. I didn't see much of the pretty color shift or just the orange unless my hands were in cold water. Maybe my nails weren't long enough, who knows.<br />
<br />
This polish was also super sheer! I realize that it's a jelly but I thought I'd be able to cover my nail lines with 4 coats but to no avail. Next time, I'd definitely layer it over white.<br />
<br />
Despite what might seem like a lot of complaints, I still enjoyed wearing this baby!<br />
<br />
This polish is actually still for sale in Chelsea's shop.<br />

Today I have a much older manicure...from when I had just chopped my nails to nubs. I still have to keep them really short, which is a shame, but it will never stop me from enjoying pretty polish...like this one!<br />

So this is a complex polish, I think. There's a ton of multicolored shimmer in a fiery orange-red base with a glassfleck-like finish. This baby really shined in outdoor lighting but still pretty all the time! Formula was no issue either, maybe a little thicker. </div>

This was from the Mineral FX collection, I believe I bought it from Sally's Beauty Supply because it was on clearance! You can still find it everywhere Orly is sold. I really loved this collection, I think it was pretty interesting and unique in the nail polish world.</div>

It's been ages since I've blogged but I really want to get back into it. I won't make a huge list of excuses, so I'll quickly say I've been busy with work and school.<br />
<br />
Now onto some polish spam! For the entire month of October, I wore nothing but Halloween-themed/related polishes. Most of them were from indie sellers too. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of all of my manicures but I'll include here some of the ones I did get to photograph.<br />

<br />
Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Royal<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Royal is a squishy royal blue jelly. I have to say, I really loved this one. I got so many compliments on it too (usually my nails go unnoticed so even one compliment is worth mentioning). One lady even asked if it was Shellac. This polish is crazy shiny in person. And it's very pigmented too. I was expecting a sheer mess but two coats were enough for opaqueness.<br />
<br />
The formula was lovely to worth with too! This polish is definitely a win in my book.<br />
<br />
You can find this anywhere Revlon is sold and I purchased mine on the Walgreens website.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by! <br />

Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Lady of the Lake<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Lady of the Lake is a royal purple scattered holographic polish. It's totally gorgeous and very pigmented. The formula was a breeze to work with!<br />
<br />
In a fit of agitation, I chopped my nails ultra short right before this manicure. I was having issues with my manicures peeling off and my brilliant mind thought if I cut off the little bit of free edge I had left, that would fix the problem. So that's why they look really short here! Thankfully they've grown a bit more since then...<br />
<br />
I purchased this polish from the <a href="http://a-england.co.uk/">A England</a> website a few months ago. It's the only polish I have from this brand but I desperately want more! The bottles are so classy and it's truly quality polish.<br />
<br />

I actually ordered one of those Julep mystery boxes. Needless to say, I was really disappointed. I got 4 polishes (2 that I already have, so they aren't pictured) and a sample of hand scrub, which is something I have the full size of and rarely use. I had been seeing blog posts about girls getting these mystery boxes with $120 worth of Julep gift certificates. I was hoping for that but meh...lesson learned.<br />
Optical Illusion comes from a <a href="http://head2toebeauty.com/">head2toe</a> order.<br />

Base coat: 1 coat of Trind base coat<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Farah (<i>I think)</i><br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
The Zoya website describes this shade as, "an opaque light khaki-beige with subtle sandy, greenish undertones". It reminded me of chocolate milk or a latte.<br />
<br />
I think I'm overly critical of shades like this. I don't like wearing colors that are anywhere near my skin color, I think it looks weird!<br />
<br />
The formula was decent enough to work with. Can't remember any glaring issues I had with it.<br />
<br />
I actually tried my first half-moon manicure with this polish as the base. I applied Essie Incognito over it. It looked really nice but sadly, I didn't get any pictures of it. After one shift, it was ruined and started peeling off.<br />
<br />
I won this polish from a contest months ago. You can buy it on the <a href="http://zoya.com/content/38/item/Zoya/Zoya-Nail-Polish-Farah-ZP586-Beige-Khaki-Nude-Neutral-Cream.html">Zoya</a> website if you're interested.<br />

<br />
Base coat: 1 coat of Trind base coat<br />
Polish: 3 coats of Indigo Illusion<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Indigo Illusion is a multi-chrome that shifts from a frosty purple, to a more grey-ed out purple, green and frosty grey with some gold in there somewhere. It's a really cool color!<br />
<br />
It starts off a little sheer but you could get away with 2 coats if you wanted. I did 3 for maximum oomph!<br />
<br />
The formula was nice enough to work with, I didn't encounter any problems.<br />
<br />
Talk on Twitter is what inspired me to purchase this. Multi-chromes are my favorite finish and this one is highly praised by <a href="http://www.scrangie.com/2011/08/nubar-indigo-illusion.html">Scrangie</a>, and we all know that her word is gospel in the nail polish world ;)<br />
So I knew I had to get it and bought it on Ebay, it wasn't too expensive.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by! <br />

Or my blog. Or nail polish...<br />
<br />
But my desktop has decided to stop working and that's where I have and edit all of my photos. My husband should be working on it soon, when he gets a chance. And I've been super busy with work.<br />
<br />
I'm really new to managing my time. I'm terrible at it! It often seems like there isn't enough hours in the day.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone's doing well. I should be back to posting soon.<br />

<br />
Base coat: 1 coat of Trind base coat<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Kristen, 2 coats Whimsical<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Whimsical is a milky baby blue filled with pink, blue and iridescent glitter. There's also some shimmer in there too. Kristen is a grey-ed out baby blue. It seemed like the perfect match to me!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Whimsical was a stubborn polish. I didn't get much glitter but plenty of base. I think this is why I got some bubbling (which is probably evident in the photos). That was annoying, honestly and I doubt I'll ever play with this polish again. Kristen is pleasant to work with, it wasn't my first rodeo with this baby.<br />
<br />
I got Whimsical from a swap a little while back and Kristen is one of the polishes I got from a Zoya promo months ago. You guys remember the ones where they'd post promo codes on Twitter in limited amounts? Some of them were for a free polish plus free shipping. I was lucky enough to get Kristen this way.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />

I hope you've all had a good week and are prepared for the start of a new one. Let's see what I've added to my stash recently...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My Maven box came in the mail early in the week. Apparently, they are jumping on the magnetic bandwagon as well. Kylie (the purple one) is the magnetic polish. Sarah was an additional polish I added on, the box only came with Nessa, Ashley, Kylie and the magnet. It also came with a sample of their pedicure cream. I actually have a few magnetic polishes now but have yet to use one as a full manicure yet. Need to get on that ASAP!</div>

Left to right: Bronze, Wine, A Million Sparkles and Bad Kitty<br />
Once again, the stupid Nabi polishes don't have names so those are the ones I gave them. As you can see, the Bronze is missing the magnet it's supposed to come with. Apparently, I didn't notice this when I was buying them...I need to exchange that one soon.<br />
<br />
I got the two Nabis at Walgreen's and found A Million Sparkles at CVS. I ordered Bad Kitty from <a href="http://www.elixirlacquers.com/">here</a>. It's limited edition and currently sold out but she'll probably post more at some point.<br />
<br />
All in all, I'm happy with what I've added to my collection. Lots of pretty polishes!<br />
<br />
Here's an older mani:<br />

<br />
This is China Glaze Gamer Glam. I added some pink heart rhinestones as an accent finger. Pretty, huh?<br />
<br />
I have some older pictures of the cats now. Starting from the first day I got Lillith as a kitten!<br />
<br />
It's a cell phone pic, so the quality isn't the best. But I will treasure this picture forever...<br />
<br />

<br />
Lillith is 5 years old now. She was only a few weeks old when I got her. I'm so glad to have her in my life. Looking at baby pictures of her makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside <3<br />
<br />
Sadly, I don't have any kitten pictures of Penelope because she was almost a year old when I adopted her from the SPCA. I do have a picture of her from when I barely got her, 6 years ago...<br />

<br />
Her belly is shaved here cause she had just been fixed. She's a lot smaller here too. This was apparently before she turned into the fat blob that she is now.<br />
<br />
I still remember what it was like meeting her at the shelter. I took her into that room where you get a chance to interact with the animal. She was SO sweet. Like, I couldn't believe it. It was instant love. I knew she was the one I had to take home with me. I can't express in words how much both of my babies mean to me. I feel so lucky to have them as companions and cherish every day I get with them.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I suppose that's enough rambling for today. Thanks for stopping by!<br />

<br />
Base coat: 1 coat of Trind base coat<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Westside Warrior<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Westside Warrior is a warm, olive green creme. And a <b>beautiful </b>one at that. This polish is a dream in a bottle. I can't state my love for green shades like this enough. I could wear them forever and never tire of them. So gorgeous!<br />
<br />
The formula was exactly what I've come to expect from China glaze...perfection. 2 creamy coats and this polish was completely opaque.<br />
<br />
China Glaze holds a special place in my heart. This is the brand that started my polish addiction. I am a total China Glaze fangirl! Out of my 420-ish strong collection, 84 of them are China Glaze...that should show how much I love this brand ;)<br />
<br />
This polish is from the 2011 fall collection. I bought it a while back and it's been waiting in my untrieds for me to wear it for months now...that should be a crime!<br />
<br />
I bought this from head2toebeauty, which you can check out <a href="http://head2toebeauty.com/">here</a>. I highly recommend this site, I've ordered from them dozens of times without any problems.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely weekend :D<br />

Base coat: 1 coat of Trind base coat<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Armed and Ready<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Armed and Ready is a dark olive green with a touch of gray that has golden shimmer running through it. These photos were taken with indoor lighting, so they're showing up more green. But in person, it normally pulled more dark gray on me. Penelope was right there when I was taking pictures with the lamp, which is why I used her belly fur as a background for that last picture hehehehe ;)<br />
<br />
So yes, there are my short little nails. I'm getting used to them already. It's so weird at first not seeing any free edge hanging off my fingers. They are easier to manage though, that's for sure. And at least I don't get stuff stuck under them anymore. Gotta think positive :)<br />
<br />
Armed and Ready was easy to work with, no formulation issues at all! I did have some major chipping after less than 2 days but that could just be because how hard work is on my hands/fingers/nails. So I don't fault this polish at all. It's too gorgeous to stay mad at! I love olive greens, even if they are this dark, but the gold shimmer is what sets it apart and makes it unique.<br />
<br />
I bought this polish from a blog sale a few weeks ago, no regrets!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />

Frostbite is an awesome electric blue shimmer. Maisie is described as "a sheer turquoise blue base with reflective Mylar flakes that shift from green to blue". I finished the look with a matte top coat.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This manicure was very bright and eye catching in person. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Frostbite holds a special place in my heart because it's one of the first China Glaze polishes I ever bought, years ago. I won Maisie in a contest a few months ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Both formulas were a breeze to work with. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sadly, this is the last time my long nails will ever grace this blog. I've had to cut them to nubbins and they will have to stay that way for the foreseeable future. Trust me, it's not because I <b>want </b>this. But they <i>have </i>to be like this. Ah well :(</div>

Not some bad loot, if I say so myself. I picked up the two Sinful Colors from Walgreens. They were on sale for 99 cents. I also found the Nabi polish there too. That was really surprising cause the Walgreens in this town is crap!<br />
<br />
And I ordered Sticks 'n Stones from Ninja Polish. It's so pretty! I'm looking forward to layering this over different colors.<br />

That first picture is an older one of Lillith. She was a pound heavier then and had her winter coat. So she looks a lot chunkier. Ain't she a doll?!<br />
<br />
And then there's Penelope doing what she's known for doing...getting in the way of homework >_<<br />
No, really. Like most cats, she loves laying on open books when I'm reading.<br />

Here's an older manicure:<br />

This is Sally Hansen Turquoise Opal. Basically, my number one favorite polish ever. It is a STUNNING multi-chrome. It shifts from different shades of purple, blue, green and teal. It's <b>insane</b>. And in person it's about a million times better too. I know I layered this over black when I wore it. Paid a ridiculous amount on Ebay for it too. To date, this is the most I've ever payed for one bottle of polish. 22 bucks plus 7 for shipping from Canada. Crazy but totally worth it.<br />
<br />
Nail news:<br />
I had to cut my nails down last night. My new job is tough on my hands and nails and they were just getting in the way and I don't want to worry about breaking them. They were already starting to chip in some places. It's been hell on my manicures too. Honestly, it sucks...but eh...what're you gonna do...it's nubbins for me :(<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks for stopping by!<br />

Base coat: 1 coat of Beauty Secrets<br />
Polish: 3 coats of Not ya Honey! Honey!<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
I would describe Not ya Honey! Honey! as a taxi cab yellow creme.<br />
<br />
How awesome is this polish? I am <b>not</b> typically into yellow polish. In fact, this is only one of two yellows in my 400+ stash. That should say a lot.<br />
<br />
At first when I put it on, I wasn't crazy about it. But I quickly adjusted and learned to like it. I think it's a yellow that works well with my skin-tone. I like the way it stands out against the color of my skin.<br />
<br />
The formula was just a bit iffy. Not terrible but there was some bubbling and it was a bit thick. If you're careful with it, it should be just fine. I think it's worth it though.<br />
<br />
My biology (male) teacher actually complimented me on them too. Which I was thought was funny cause guys typically don't notice that kind of thing. He was like, "Oooh, I like your nails! Yellow." Heh.<br />
<br />
My husband made a funny comment too when I was wearing this. We were talking about something, I don't remember what, and he said, "Don't be mad cause your fingers are covered in mustard." Of course, I didn't know what he meant at first until he pointed at my nails. Then it clicked. Hah. Silly story.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've been super busy cause I just started a new job this past week. I'm having some struggles managing my time. I have school and work now, which is something I'm not totally used to. So I don't have as much free time as I used to. It does make me sad but I guess it's something a lot of us have to go through anyway. That's just life.<br />
<br />
I hope you guys liked this manicure! I'm going to do my best to manage my time. I miss blogging :(<br />
<br />

I've been a really good girl lately (hey, maybe someone should reward me...) and haven't been getting much polish. This week I only added 3 to my collection. Here they are:<br />

Cult Nails recently had a sale, each polish was only $5 (limit 3). As you can see, I picked up Enigmatic, Iconic and Time Traveler. I love Cult Nails! They have some of my favorite bottles. And In a Trance is one of my favorite olive greens ever. It's to die for. I've only ever had good experiences with Cult Nails. They've always been sweet and helpful in emails. Not to mention, their polish is awesome ;)<br />
<br />
Well, since I'm rambling on about Cult Nails, might as well post an old manicure featuring one of their polishes.<br />

This is Awakening. A gorgeous, smoky blackened teal. So pretty! These photos are from last year in November. See, taking pictures of my nails is nothing new to me ;)<br />

And Penelope is being a total dope! Well, not really. This is an older picture of her but it's one of my favorites :D<br />
<br />
On a positive note, my nails haven't broken yet. It's been 49 days since my last chop. Yes, I'm a weirdo and keep track. This is when it starts to get a bit dangerous and they're more likely to break....here's hoping they don't! I feel like nubbins really highlight how small and stubby my fingers are >_><br />
<br />
At least with long nails I can sustain the illusion that my fingers are <i>somewhat</i> thin and elegant.<br />
<br />
Hmm...I think that's about it for this post. Did you pick up any new polish this week? If so, I'd love to hear what you got.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!

Base coat: 1 coat of CND Stickey<br />
Polish: 3 coats of Cold and Calculating<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
NerdLacquer describes this polish as "a cool shimmering violet and charcoal base with silver and royal purple glitter, medium purple hexagonal glitter, and large silver hexagonal glitter."<br />
<br />
It's just gorgeous. If the night sky were purple, this is exactly what a starry night would look like. This beauty has me all out of words!<br />
<br />
I don't have one negative thing to say about this. The formula was easy to work with, this one didn't smell weird like my bottle of Cyance Friction did and it dried pretty quickly. Not a top coat hungry glitter either. Essentially perfection in a bottle.<br />
<br />
I feel so lucky to have any polishes by NerdLacquer. If I could somehow (magically) own every polish from ANY brand ever, I would pick NerdLacquer in a heartbeat. She is easily my favorite brand of polish EVER. I only have three bottles but I treasure them immensely and can't wait to own more!<br />
<br />
I purchased this the last time her Etsy shop was open. Her shop is closed right now but you can sign up for email notifications for when she opens again. You can check her out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/NerdLacquer?ref=seller_info">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />

Base coat: 1 coat of CND Stickey<br />
Polish: 2 coats of Kiss me on my Tulips<br />
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite<br />
<br />
I would describe Kiss me on my Tulips as a fuchsia creme. I don't typically wear pinks, so it was a nice change for me. I think it's a type of pink that could flatter a wide range of skin-tones.<br />
<br />
The formula was lovely to work with. Perfect consistency and I had no issues at all. I guess that's what makes this shade special to me. I'm a sucker for good formulas. I just have a baby bottle of this but I might get the full-sized one sometime in the future...I think it would be a great color for toes!<br />
<br />
I won this polish in a contest a few weeks back but you can purchase it on various websites or from stores that carry this brand. It's not hard to find :)<br />
<br />
