Zoya has incredible polish. Beautiful. Aesthetically appealing.

Forest green gold foil shimmer polish??

Complex.

Turquoise & Caicos

Feb26 by Cheryl Cheryl

This is such a near dupe to China Glaze “For Audrey”…. (and my Tiffany pouch). “For Audrey” is the tiniest bit bluer.

———————————————————————————

Essie “Turquoise & Caicos”

The Essie formulation is a little thinner and streakier than I would have hoped. This was three coats. Still lovely.

But of course, I splashed all kind of dots over it. This actually made me want to lay off the dots just a tad.

Lava Lamp

My hands look like hazard cones!!! for real. lol

Man, this polish is so bright, it really COULD hurt your eyes.

I used the gold glitter holographic top coat. I just can’t give up glitter completely. lol.

w/ Northern Lights Gold Holo Glitter topcoat

Pictures make the color look more “red”, but they are really “orange-y”! Smile Straight hazard cones!

Midtown Magic…Set the Nude

Feb22 by Cheryl Cheryl

China Glaze “Midtown Magic” – GORGEOUS! it’s such a pretty color. Chocolate Burgundy – definitely magical with a pretty gold glitter almost dissolved within.

I know, I know, I was supposed to be on glitter/shimmer hiatus….

….. BUT I COULDN’T HELP IT! lol. It’s so sparkly and it was making googly eyes at me.

I striped the tips with Ulta’s “Set the Nude”, but next time, I am just wearing the “Midtown Magic”. all by its lonesome.

White on White on Dots

Feb20 by Cheryl Cheryl

The colors were sitting together on the polish rack…. like they wanted to be used together. so…

NO, I will never tire of dots. 🙂 no. never. lol

At least that’s what it felt like when I finished my nails. Smile

OPI – “I Eat Mainely Lobster”
& a bunch of acrylic paint dots (my fave obviously)

Red heart P.S. Happy Valentine’s Day!!!! Hope love finds you and keeps you happy!

it’s not Spring

Feb11 by Cheryl Cheryl

It’s freezing outside, so I couldn’t bring myself to use a “Spring” color…instead, I moseyed on over to my China Glaze Metro Downtown collection.

I chose China Glaze “Westside Warrior”

I still wanted it to be “girly”, so I added a flower of Sinful Colors “Vacation Time”, with a dot of gold metallic acrylic paint.

NO MORE GLITTER!!

Feb7 by Cheryl Cheryl

*in my best <and loudest> Mommy Dearest voice*

….or frosts and shimmers for that matter.

In my blog browsing I have seen the most beautiful swatches of the tidal wave of glitter polishes available these days. BEAUTIFUL! And, I, like the rest of the nail polish masses, LOVE them. They lure you with their sparkle and dazzle. Whispering your name like an irresistible lover…

I am putting my foot down.

I don’t want to read any more blogs telling me the easy way to remove glitter polish is by soaking cotton pads, covering my beds with aluminum foil and…….. waiting. Yes, I have a problem with patience. LOL. I’m working on it. haha

Removing the Nicki Minaj collection glitter polish (OPI – “Metallic 4 Life”) was a small test of patience. I can’t even imagine how long it would have taken without my reliable Automatic Nail Polish Remover! Even with it’s superb and consistent results, it took too long for my taste.

SO…. even though the task is still much easier with my polish remover machine….. I’m back on my glitter hiatus.

But I will never forsake my beloved dots.
