For Audrey by China Glaze



NOTD is For Audrey by China Glaze.  I thought it would be nice for the Easter week.  The girl at the coffee shop was telling me how this was her favorite color and she had to buy the entire display so that she would not run out anytime soon.  Hmmm, maybe I should have gotten a backup of this one too?

Tropical breeze


Hello! I am so very happy Spring is here.  I was due for a renewal of some kind.  I always find Spring reminds me of Hope.  I thought this was perfect for Spring.   There was a pleasant breeze of orange blossom scent when I was taking this picture.  I used China Glaze OMG in GR8 for the base, Sally Hansen intradri in Mint Sprint and SH insta in Orange you fast and Konad plate 36  BTW: Somewhere over the rainbow by IZ is playing in the background- all that is missing is a tropical Mojito in my hand.

I'm still in the mood




















Part two of the In the mood by China Glaze. The first 4 pictures are of Gold Brown to Golden Mauve.  After freezing my hands for quite a while, I did not see a change in color. Ugh, the things I do for polish ;)  The golden brown color is so beautiful- has a little iridescent and golden going on.  I don't have many polishes in this soft taupe/brown color family but this is my favorite color of that family.   The next pictures are Mocha to Light Cappuccino. Once again, my nubbins were freezing and there was no color change in sight. This color has lots of micro shimmer in a smooth finish.  It reminds me of the shimmer in the suede YDKJ by OPI.

In the Mood? by China Glaze












Hello! I was rearranging my polishes and came across these oldies. This is the In the Mood line by China Glaze. I am not sure what year they came out.  The first color is called Raspberry to Orange Sherbet.  In the 3rd picture shows the Orange Sherbet color when your hands are warm. Here, the shimmer is more apparent because I was out in the sun for awhile. OT:  Why is raspberry spelled with a p? It is as if a random letter fell out of the sky and landed in the middle of the word. The 4th picture is the raspberry color with cold hands-holding an ice cube.  I like both variations of color.  The next color is Teal to Silver. The 5th picture shows the silver color when out in the sun. The 6th picture is Teal with ice in hand. IRL the teal was more vivid. Since my hands are usually cold the polish is more teal on me. Cold hands warm heart :)

China Glaze Fortune Teller











Hello! This is my nail of the day. Fortune Teller by China Glaze. I used two coats and S.V. top coat. I was not able to capture the different sized orange glitter in this polish. I know there is a lot of hype around this polish and it is well deserved. The glitter seems to float to the top and really shine, as opposed to most glitters that have a layer of polish color that impedes the glitter shine (see picture 3 Milani). Picture 1 is outdoors, Pic 2 indoors, and the Pic 3 is outdoors  FT on pointer finger and Milani on thumb in Spellbinding.
