Essie Mint Candy Apple :D

Good evening!

I finally convinced myself to edit some pics so here my last mani of 2009, Essie Mint Candy Apple! It's an amazing bright pastel green creme that really pops against my neutral warm skin, and it's made its way into my top 20 for sure!! Unfortunately it ended up snowing or being cloudy all the time I wore it so my pics just don't do it justice :(

I decided to add some konad using plate S6 in Princess Pop Green, and since my stamping wasn't perfect enough for me I topped it with ChG Glacier and wow did that work!! I wore that kotd a week lol :O

Enjoy and have a great evening! :D

China Glaze Poolside - Summer 2010!

Good afternoon!

I'm currently away on training camp in (cold) Florida, and I've been feeling pretty lazy wrt changing manis and taking pics so today I thought I'd post the promo pics for the Summer 2010 China Glaze collection that will be available next April.

"Introducing Poolside by China Glaze!

Dive into summer with these hot neon hues! No matter where you are this summer, China Glaze takes you poolside with 6 new juicy neons. Vibrant colors add bright, dare to bare deliciousness to your manicure and pedicure. Dip your toes (and fingers!) into a bolt of lightening blue, kiwi cool-ada green, poppy pinks and candy-colored citruses. Bold, brilliant polishes are the perfect accessory to any summer wardrobe!"

The Poolside Collection by China Glaze – Swim in Colour.

Pool Party - neon dark pink creme
Flip Flop Fantasy - neon coral creme
Sun Worshiper - neon tangerine creme

Kiwi Cool-Ada - neon green creme
Towel Boy Toy - neon blue creme with a hint of irridesence

What do you think, don't you agree this looks like my very own collection? ;-) I don't think I've ever looked forward that much to a collection, and I'm actually most likely going to try to get my hands on the display to put on top of the Helmers!!!

Enjoy this summer preview and hopefully I'll be back soon with new pics :D

Essie Ruby Slippers :D

Good evening!!

After a few days of pondering, I settled on Essie Ruby Slippers for my Christmas mani, and although I wasn't too sure at first it certainly grew on me! I ended up wearing it 3 or 4 days and fixing the little chips along :D Great red jelly with magenta and gold glitter it seems on my skin, it was opaque after 3 thin coats. The gold glitter didn't show as much IRL as it does in the pic, the magenta/burgundy was way more prominent!

Enjoy and have a great evening! :D

OPI Dear Santa :D

Good afternoon!!

I don't tend to wear reds often, but after trying on OPI Dear Santa last week I just might have to change that! DS is the most wonderful red infused w/ red and gold microglitter :D It's quite warm tho, but it fits perfectly with my warm skin tone :D It is definitely my all-time favorite red now.

And here's one more Christmas-y konadicure using the holly from plate M12 in Princess Deep Jungle Pearl polish. I wore that one for 4 days!

Enjoy and have a great day!! :D

FP Evergreen Dream :D

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Now that I'm back home, here's another of last week's manis, FingerPaints Evergreen Dream. This is a fantastic dark green shimmer that is opaque and even in only 2 thin coats! :D

And here's another Christmas-y konadicure using plate M12 and ChG 2030 (sorry for the blurry pic) :D

Enjoy and have a great evening! :D

CC Wild At Heart :D

Good morning!!

Just a quick post before I'm off for some last minute Christmas shopping (for my SO!!) and then to the pool. CC Wild At Heart is a great slightly holo/glittery purple, and it applies like a charm in 2 thin coats :D

Enjoy and have a great day! :D
