NOTD: China Glaze 'Dorothy Who?'

Since I work in the customer service industry, I am usually required to wear "natural" looking nail polish- which usually excludes sparkly rich blue shades, like 'Dorothy Who?'. However, when I had a nice couple of days off, this was the color on my mind!

'Dorothy Who' looks like  a royal blue; but when it is actually applied, it is a lighter, cyan blue. Still just as amazingly sparkly, but the color is just gorgeous when on the nails. I picked up the entire 'Wizard of Ahz' collection, and I have to say, 'Dorothy Who?' is easily my favorite of the bunch!

Oh and by the way, I am giving away a brand-new 'Dorothy Who?' HERE. All you have to do to qualify is leave a comment-- but hurry, contest ends June 30th! :)

NOTD: China Glaze 'Sun Worshipper'

As promised, here is a quick NOTD of China Glaze's 'Sun Worshipper'. The response I got from everyone who saw me wearing this was "Whoa, nice nails!". Not sure if they meant it, as the color is a bit crazy, but one thing is for sure: it draws attention!

The thing I was disappointed about, was that about 50% chipped off by the next day. It got these weird bubbles underneath. And that did not look very pretty. So definitely wear a top coat w/ this bad boy!

What do you think, is this color too bright?

Review: China Glaze Poolside Collection

Well, the Poolside collection came out well over a month ago, so I know I'm a bit late in this review. But, I still think they are so gorgeous that it would be a shame not to share the beauty of them with you all!

NOTD: China Glaze 'Light as Air'

Sometimes I wonder if I should just have a nail polish blog, since half of the entries have been polish lately. :) But anyways, I picked up this polish from Ulta the other day. And, since they were having a B2G1 on China Glaze, I also got 'Peachy Keen' and 'Lemon Fizz', which are also from the Up and Away collection. As always, please ignore my crap polish job. :)

Anyways I really like this color, it's very soft and pretty, and I would say it's office-appropriate. What do you think?

On another note, I have been a bit MIA lately but not because I haven't been buying makeup; I think I've been spending a little TOO much at Walgreen's on drugstore makeup. Sigh. MAC, bring out some more collections for me to drool over! :) Oh but I am in North Dakota this week (!!) and there's not so much as even a MAC counter in the state, so I have to wait to grab Art Supplies 'til I get back to civilization!

Anyways, I'm sure I'll have some stuff to share with you this week. But as for you, what are you lemming lately?

NOTD: St. Patrick's Day with China Glaze

Happy St. Patty's day! I didn't have anything green to wear today, so I figured this would be a perfect time to try out my new polish, "Re-Fresh Mint" by China Glaze! Sorry it's so sloppy, I did it pretty quickly, and CG's consistency is a little different from MAC's, so I kinda need to get used to it. :)

What do you think of this color? Would you wear it? 

Haul: Nail Polish!!

I've been a nail polish hoarder lately! Never mind that I barely have time to change my polish, but I just can't get over all these awesome colors. :) I picked up these three yesterday:

l to r: China Glaze "Refresh-Mint", MAC "Blue India" and China Glaze "Solar Power"

I believe "Refresh-Mint" and "Blue India" are both LE, but "Solar Power" is permanent. It's funny because although I didn't intend it, these all kind of match, in a weird way. :) Now, I've got to decide which one to use first, but when I do, I'll be sure to post a NOTD for you all! :)

PS: I've found that MAC polishes last the best when the nails are completely dry (no lotion, and just after using polish remover), and no base or top coat is used. They tend to last a good while. Other than that, do you have any nail polish tips? What are your favorite colors out of these three?
