Nails Of The Day (NOTD) China Glaze FOR AUDREY and SNOW GLOBE

This was a hastily applied mani. I applied 3 coats of color over China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base and sealed everything with 1 coat of Seche Vite. I opted to layer China Glaze SNOW GLOBE and Sinful Colors OPAL GLITTER for accent nails.

I usually do my manis at about 3am.
I do my nails at my desk because it is the perfect height and I have sufficient light. Seche Vite affords me the opportunity to crawl back into bed and not get sheet prints.
I would love to change my polish at least twice weekly. I have been making more of a concerted effort in changing the colors. It is a challenge because of life's priorities.







How often do you change your polish?
Do you own any of these colors?

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) Sinful Colors AMETHYST and FRENZY

This was a fun mani. I kept it simple. I only added glitter on the ring fingers and thumbs.

I did my standard base, 3 coats of color and Seche Vite top coat.

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Sinful Colors ENDLESS BLUE

I love this beautiful blue! It has to be my favorite by far!
It was so opaque, I could have gotten away with applying just 1 coat.
However, I am accostomed to applying 3. Old habits die hard.

Base: China Glaze Strong Adhesion
Color: Sinful Colors ENDLESS BLUE x3
Top: Seche Vite

This mani is old, but I wanted to capture it to share before I changed it.

Would you wear this color?

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Sinful Colors - ISLAND CORAL

I was delighted when I saw this shade at my local Walgreens.
I have been scouring the shelves for months for a color called Scandal.
This was as close as I could get.

This is a beautiful feminine pinky, peachy coral cream.
Base - China Glaze Strong Adhesion
Color - Sinful Colors ISLAND CORAL
Top - Seche Vite

This manicure is about a week old.














Full Sunlight No Flash



This definitely reads more peach than pink without the flash in full sun. I am enjoying this color. Summer is almost over.



I cannot get enough of Sinful Colors nail polish.

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Sinful Colors - CINDERELLA

I picked up this beautiful nail polish over a month ago. I need to buy a backup as I have two teen aged daughters who also agree that it's gorgeous!

I got tons of compliments the first time I wore this.
A lady asked me what color it was.
When I told her, she asked me if it made me
"feel like Cinderella."
My reply was, "No, not really."
*laughing* I just thought it was pretty.

This is the second time that I've worn it.
Duo Chromes are mesmerizing!
I see gold, pink and purple reflects.
They are tiny.

Base: China Glaze Strong Adhesion
Color: Cinderella x3
Top Coat: Seche Vite
This was difficult to apply.
It was streaky and felt like a flaky nail polish.
I do feel it is certainly worth the effort to get the true color as shown in the bottle.

Do you like this?
Do you own it?
With what other colors would you pair it?

Yes, it was a complete impulse buy.

Nail polish doesn't count right?
Swatches coming soon!

These beauties are from China Glaze Spring 2011 Collection.
There are 12 in total. I only selected ones I thought would compliment my skintone. I prefer opaque shades.

Naked (Coral w/ shimmer),
Rich and Famous (Blue based Pink Cream),
Fifth Avenue (Light Mauve Cream),

I bought these Sinful Colors from a limited edition display at Walgreens. It was a complete impulse buy. There were a few more colors, but I liked these best. I believe the theme is inspired by Greece.
The light green with shimmer is called OLYMPIA.
The beautiful blue color is called GRECIAN SUN.
