China Glaze Peachy Keen

Hi,

Since the weather here has been rainy and cold, I felt like wearing a polish full of sunshine. As I was frantically looking through my helmer in order to fulfill my sunny aspiration, I stumbled upon China Glaze's Peachy Keen and thought it would be perfect for the occasion.

I applied two coats followed by Fast Forward topcoat.

Don't you just love this color?!:)

Thanks for reading!

Tape Mani 1

Hello again!

I've been wanting to try a tape mani in such a long time. I've been eyeballing them for a couple of weeks, especially those done by Nailside here on Blogspot.

You must check her blog out: http://nailside.blogspot.com/. She posted a few tutorials for these "explosion" manis.

The polishes I used are:

Base: China Glaze's Sunset Sail
Phase 1: Nivea Calcium Power in Hot Coral (#43)
Phase 2: China Glaze's Aztec Orange

This is my first attempt, so please be indulgent!

Phase 1: All the pictures were taken in natural daylight (late PM).

Phase 2: All the pictures were taken in natural daylight (late PM).

China Glaze's Sunset sail (#955)

Hi!

For today's NOTD I used China Glaze's Sunset sail (from the 2011 Anchors Away collection), an opaque peachy nude with very discreet silvery white micro shimmer. I tried to capture the shimmer in the photos but it doesn't really show up too well... but believe me it's there!

The formula on this lacquer was rather on the thick side, even after having added a few drops of thinner, but nothing dramatic, I've seen a lot worse! I don't know if it's just my bottle, the hot and sticky weather here or just the formula itself. I will have to swatch this color when it's a bit cooler and I 'll see if it gets any better.

Enjoy!
