Nail of the Day: China Glaze For Audrey

So I had been reluctant to actually buy this polish. Not sure why, but I figured it was a shade I could easily find a dupe for. Well, I never really found anything, and so I went ahead and snatched it up. And, I'm glad, cause I love it. I love China Glaze polishes, they apply well, have great formulas and the bottle design is nice. Oh, and they are not expensive at all. I used two coats in this picture. It applied nicely, formula was good, not too thick or watery. Typically a cream needs 3 coats to get it even but not in this case. Once again my picture does not do it justice. It is supposed to be close to the blue in the Tiffanys packaging. I would say it's pretty close. It's not a true blue as my picture shows, it's a tad dustier with a little bit of grey. Amazing color!  Sorry the application is not perfect. I am lazy and don't usually go back to clean up the edges.

Nail of the Day: Color Club Disco Dress

Hi everyone! I have a bunch of catching up to do on reviews, so I will start with my nails. CVS is having a sale on Salma Hayek's new line, Nuance, and I bought a bunch of products. Will be doing reviews soon. Onto the nails. Today I have on Color Club in Disco Dress. This is an amazing purple color. I am not sure why it did not photograph true to color, but it dries matte, which makes it part of the neon family.  So, I figure that's why the color wouldn't come up accurate no matter how many pix I took. This is an amazing and vivid purple. It looks blue in the pic but it is not, it is a true royal purple color. Very bright yet deep if that makes any sense. And I got it for about 3 bucks, so definitely go out and pick up this color!  It applies nicely and evenly, this is two coats in the pic.

Nail of the Day - SinfulColors Pull Over

Ok so I was checking out  a recent review on the Daily Varnish on this shade, and I just so happened to stop at a Rite Aid. I saw the color and had to get it.  It's such a bright taxi yellow color I couldn't resist.  It applies nicely, but a tad on the streaky side, but this seems to happen with all yellows I have.  It was opaque in three coats.  For two bucks....it's worth picking up for a nice sunny pick me up. I used another SinfulColors shade I picked up in Paradise on my thumb. It's hard to tell here, but its a nice sky blue.  Definitely cheered me up all day!

Nail of the Day - Sinful Rise and Shine

Hello! Another day another polish. I was going to paint this on my toes only but fell in love with the color and couldn't resist. It's Rise and Shine from Sinful Colors Adventure Island Collection. There were a few good OPI Pirates dupes in the collection, but this one was unique to the Sinful collection.  It's an amazing color. The formula was good....thicker than normal, but at least I only needed two coats of polish. The color is a great green, leaning toward a blue green color. It was really hard to photograph this color. It just would not work with my camera.  This photo is the closest to the color, but does it no justice. It is a darker shade than what you see here, but you can really see the shimmer in the color here. It is a kelly green color but with blue mixed in.  One interesting thing about this formula is that it dried to a matte finish. I added a layer of topcoat. It's a great bright color for summer, and a bargain at 1.99.
