Pretty and Polished Candy Corn

Hi everyone! Time for a manicure that's just a few weeks late ;)
This is what I had on my nails for Halloween!

The orange side of Candy Corn

Here you can see both colors

Looks like a sunset, no?

Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
Polish: 4 coats of Candy Corn
Top Coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite

Candy Corn clearly resembles its namesake. It's a temperature changing polish that shifts from yellow to tangerine!

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.

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.

Despite what might seem like a lot of complaints, I still enjoyed wearing this baby!

This polish is actually still for sale in Chelsea's shop.

Orly Emberstone

Good afternoon, everyone! 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!

Base coat: 1 coat of Julep Nail Therapy

Polish: 2 coats of Emberstone

Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite

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. 

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.

Zoya Heidi

Hey everyone! Today I have another bright, spring-y color for you. It reminds me a lot of Barielle's Gotta have Fate. Let's take a look:

Base coat: 1 coat of CND Stickey
Polish: 2 coats of Heidi
Top coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite

Zoya's website describes Heidi as, "Soft but bright warm orangey-coral creme." I'm not sure what it is about me that makes these coral colors turn crazy bright orange. Like, I barely see the coral tones in this one on me. Just like Gotta Have Fate, it looked mostly orange on me. There was still a little nail line visible too. Maybe the whites of my nails are just super pigmented or hard to cover...cause they've been making a lot of appearances lately ;)

If anything, Heidi is a bit softer than Gotta Have Fate, not as in your face. But still in the same color family.

The formula was nice to work with, not unpleasant or anything. I'm typically a fan of Zoya's formula, so no complaints here!

I purchased this polish during their most recent Spring promotion. They often have promotions though, so keep your eyes open! You can purchase this polish on the Zoya website here.
