Bikini So Teeny!

Hello all!

A quick NOTD for your: Essie's Bikini so Teeny, the star of their Summer 2012 collection. It is a lovely bright cornflower blue with a  very subtle shimmer. So subtle, I couldn't really capture it on my camera. I might have had a bit of a Rage Moment trying to do just that. Still lovely!

It seems to be a bit patchy in the pictures, but it looked quite nice in real life. Perfect for summer!

Lillibet's Jubilee

This is adorable. Butter London created a special polish for Queen Elizabeth II's 60th anniversary. How cute is that? Its called 'Lillibet's Jubilee' after the Queen's childhood nickname. Love it! It is a quite pretty lavendar foil. It has a good consistency and the brush marks are not too problematic, see?

*Sigh* So pretty.

Orly Skinny Dip and OPI Divine Swine

Morning (er, Afternoon!)

Summer summer summer! Time for neons! A nice blue neon, like this Orly Skinny Dip, part of their 2012 summer collection "Feel the Vibe." And I have felt the vibe! It felt funny. But resulted in an excellent bright blue neon!

 Skinny Dip - this is two coats, and could have used another as you can see by the bald spots :( Otherwise, it is excellent consistency. This dries in the typical neon fashion: rubbery matte.

Did I ever tell you how much I love glitter gradients? BECAUSE I LOVE GLITTER GRADIENTS. They are a cinch for me to do (eventually I'll get a feel for the other kind for regular polish and a makeup sponge) so I tend to do them a lot when I need a little something-something for my mani.

Enter: OPI Divine Swine from their Muppet collection (which is full of happy glitters!). I did a 'reverse' gradient, from the nail bed rather than the tip. I'm a rebel, dontcha know.

 Wheeeee! I loved how this turned out. Makes me happy :)

What combos make you happy?

Zoya Wednesday and Zoya Zuza

Hello all!

Today I have two more additions from the Zoya Beach and Surf Collection!

Wednesday is a delightfully murky mint. When I saw it, I had to have it!

Zuza is Wednesday's "Companion" - its shimmery counterpart. Now Zuza you almost have to see in real life to believe. It is devastating, almost like a lighter version of Zoya Charla/OPI Catch Me in Your Net.Take a look:

LOVED this. Loved both, actually. I am SUPER impressed with the Beach and Surf Collection. I have a feeling I will be buying the whole collection at some point.

Cheers!
