As autumn is right around the corner, I was thinking of some of my favorite fall shades of polish. Deep emeralds flatter my fair skin and dark hair, and they go great with the brown, red and orange fall color palette. After polishing on two coats of HTAT, I decided to go with a shiny finish versus the matte suede. I love the shimmer hidden in the polish and I think it comes alive with some seche vite. I think I like this better than the original!<br />

This is two coats and it's all creme-y goodness! I'd say it's more of a slate or smoke than a charocoal, but this is a pretty trendy color. I don't think I have any dupes, but I plan on doing a grey comparison swatch real soon just to see. All of these pictures are in direct sun.<br />

Sorry for the wear on these--I've been polishing at night lately and haven't been home during daylight hours to take a next day pic. I use my hands all day at work and there's often tipwear by the time I get home. The color is accurate anyway!<br />

I started this blog at the start of the summer as a way to pass the time and share my finds, but now I have no time to pass! Anyway, I finally made it to Ulta this week to check out the new polish collections. Though I'd been waiting forever to see the Orly Cosmic FX collection in person, the $10 price tag still upset me. I picked up this one, </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It's Not Rocket Science</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, as I was feeling the swamp thing vibe it was giving off.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Bottom line: I love this color. I've seen that there are two dupes (a SpaRitual and one of the new China Glaze halloween colors) but I have neither of those and so I don't care! This is one of those pretty ugly colors that you either love or hate. I love. This is two coats of INRS and one of seche vite--it was more opaque than I had thought it would be; I was anticipating three coats. INRS is a darkened olive shimmer with a hint of gold--at some angles there is even a bit of a teal tint. It's definitely a cool color--not for the weak!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<br />
I recently got my hot little hands on the Ulta "I Got the Denim Blues" collection (which I will hopefully have time to swatch next week) and I just wanted to give you a bit of a preview. For $9.95 you get 5-0.24 oz. polishes ranging from a baby blue to a deep navy. Of course they're all blues, and they're all fabulous. I would be sure to pick this one up while it's still in stock!<br />
<br />
This is Vintage--a deep peacock blue, two coats and one of seche. Try to ignore the tipwear--I didn't take the pic on day one and I neglected to wrap my tips. Plus, I've gone back to work this week, so lots of typing! <br />
<br />

And I need sparkle therapy! Wild and Willing is a gorgeous sparkley, shimmery duochrome from the Wild at Heart collection (fall 2009). It's a copper rose-gold foil with hints of green in some lights. I don't even know how to describe it--it's gorgeous!!<br />
<br />
This is after two days of wear (two coats and one of seche vite!). This totally satisfied my craving for shimmer. I love this one!<br />

I did not want to come back to the humidity of the East Coast, but I am here. I have to face reality again--and I will do so with another UO Polish on my nails! This is Orange 2 and, while it looks a bit more "burnt" in the bottle, it comes out as a nice bright pumpkin creme on the nails. This is two coats with some added sparkle and a coat of seche vite. I was in a sparkly mood and so I went with CND effects in Gold Sparkle....a wise choice, I think.<br />
<br />
I hope you've all had a wonderful week as well. Back to school on Monday...ugh.<br />

As you are reading this, I am hopefully eating something delicious on the bay! I swear, my only reason for vacationing is to try restaurants/trendy food spots that I've heard about. I eat my way through every vacation...at much more than $40 a day (suck it, Rachael Ray)! You should have seen me during my year in Europe--not pretty.<br />
<br />
Anyway, speaking of European cities where I made a glutton of myself, this is Paris Couture for Sure. It is a smooth silver glitter holo, labeled as a "glitter top coat". I have a lot of silver holos, but this one is my favorite. One of my OPI oldies, I think it's discontinued, but I believe you can still find it on ebay. I love this silver holo, though I am still lemming the Nfu-Oh one.<br />
<br />
Since this is a top coat, it is a bit sheer. This is three coats and I still have some vnl, four is perfect.<br />

My favorite season is winter--I love when everything is frosty and cool and I love to see the trees covered in snow!<br />
<br />
This is three coats of Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Silver Lining. I then sponged on Wet n Wild French White Creme and used a Sally Hansen chrome in Aqua Chrome along with bundlemonster plate bm19 for the leaves. My nails really felt icy!<br />

This is three coats of Milani Dress Maker--I saw the new(?) Milani Haute Value collection at my local CVS yesterday and I picked up a few of the colors. After I polished this on, I did a bit of research and this is said to be a dupe for Chanel Jade. Now, I've never really been into the Jade hype, but it's good to know for those of you who are still looking and don't want to shell out your life's savings for a bottle on ebay.<br />
<br />
This is a pretty opaque jade green with a slight shimmer--very pretty. Three coats:<br />

I have a number of silver foils, but this one is very different. It leans towards a cloudy sky grey with a very faint blue shimmer with a pinkish duochrome. It's incredibly difficult to describe. Though this color is quite sheer, I think that the four coats it takes to make it opaque are totally worth it. My fingertips feel icy and gorgeous.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is from last summer's neon collection. I polished on two coats of Essie Perky Purple with one of Seche Vite and I probably could have used one more coat, but I was in a rush. This is a neon purple/pink and so it dries matte...and shows every flaw. Have some topcoat ready. I do love how awesomely bright it is though.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

My nails look like little mouths! This is a coat of Wet n' Wild (WnW) Black with OPI Dim Sum Plum (mixed with white) for the tips. I used WnW white for the teeth, and WnW red for the blood with some China Glaze Ruby Pumps for the glitter on top! Hope you like them.<br />

I've been sitting with the bottle for a while, but I just haven't felt like wearing it until today. I think I needed a nice sunny day to show off such a gorgeous glitter!<br />
<br />
This is three coats of ATU on one coat of Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler and a coat of Orly Bonder, and topped with a coat of Seche Vite. The glitter in this polish is amazing--small bits of sky blue, mixed with larger blue and green hex sequins. It is gorgeous--and all floating in a navy jelly base. Three coats made it perfect, though I had to wait for it to dry between coats in order to allow the hex glitter to settle in its spot. It was slightly bumpy to the touch, but the SV seemed to smooth most of that up. <br />
<br />
All of these pictures were taken in the sunlight.<br />

Bottom line: you need this. I cannot stop staring at my nails; they remind me of the scales of a fish, or the tail of a mermaid. It really looks like my nails are made of sequins! Gorgeous, Deborah Lippmann. Well done!<br />

I just got back from a three-day power outage! We had terrible windstorms on Sunday and it pulled power lines down all over the DC metro area. It felt like I was Amish! Oh well...power is back and here are some swatches.<br />
<br />
I stopped into H&M this weekend and came out with this "Summer Nails" set of minis. H&Ms here never have polishes and so I grabbed these. They had some single colors too but I figured I only needed this for now. Each polish is 0.1 fl. oz. and while they don't have the best brushes, I thought it was a nice sized kit for only $4.00.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Purple is the one I chose to wear for the day. I adjusted the color on my computer so you could see how red this purple is, so excuse the weird skin. Again, perfect application in two coats with a bit of shimmer. I love these kinds of purples.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall, I think this is a great kit for the price. There's nothing original about the colors, but they certainly are perfect for summertime.

Though they are regularly 2 for $8, I saw a bunch for only 99 cents and so I had to pick up a few colors. They also had a bunch of their "sparkle" colors on sale, which looked like flakies, but I decided not to get those. Does anyone have the UO sparkles? I was intrigued...<br />
<br />
One of the shades I picked up was Grey 1. Though it's not the most creative name, I kind of like how they maybe decided to choose simplicity over cheesiness. Grey 1 is a very dark green-tinged grey in the bottle. On the nails it's a dark charcoal. I really like the darkness of it. The cap/brush are a bit difficult to polish with, but the color was smooth and opaque after two coats. I then used the geometric pattern from konad plate m64 with white stamping polish. I topped the whole thing off with a coat of China Glaze matte magic--this looks soooo much better matte.<br />
<br />

It's a lovely navy with teeny silver microglitter and some claim it as a dupe for the coveted Essie Starry Starry Night. The formula was a bit thick and the brush was a bit wonky, so it was difficult to polish with--I think I'll need to thin it out a bit. It's not my favorite summer color (and I wish I had applied three coats instead of just two) but it's beautiful nonetheless. <br />

I went to the beach with the boyfriend this weekend and, though I had an awesome manicure, I forgot to take pictures. Though the Orly Luxe/SH Hidden Treasure combo held up awesomely well through the surf and sand, it was a bit too chipped to show you guys when we got back. I have something much prettier anyway. I saw Michelle Mismas' <a href="http://www.alllacqueredup.com/2010/07/quick-easy-gradation-manicure-butter-london-stroppy.html">"Quick & Easy" gradation manicure</a> last week and knew that I had to try it myself. I couldn't wait to attempt it on my own nails.<br />

This is two coats of American Apparel Berry--a perfect berry red-violet. All of my AA polishes go on smooth and glossy. I used this pattern from the bm10 plate and stamped it with Sally Hansen Chrome in Burmese Ruby. SH Chromes are the best for stamping!<br />

I'm happy with how this turned out, but I still have trouble keeping these full nail plates completely straight!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Of course, I only decided to polish on Robyn last night after a failed glitter manicure that had to come off. It was a bit too blingy and uneven for me--I know, who thought too much bling was possible?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This was two coats of Pro 10 (not to be confused with 10 Pro) nail lacquer in Muse, a pretty pale yellow creme (Dollar Tree find). On top I polished three coats of NYX Girls Enchanted Forest. EF is a green-tinted clear base with various sizes of green glitter. There is tiny green glitter, small hexagons, medium hexagon and big hexagons. It was just too much--and really gloopy. It didn't dry. I took a few pictures just to show you--but then I took off the whole mess. This would have been much prettier had it worked. I did like the spring green tinge that the yellow took on once I layered the green over it. Oh well!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

I just cannot get their polishes to work on me...thanks for reading!</div>Lunulandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14250814543687648187noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249592034366155347.post-59569087351978375132010-07-11T15:30:00.002-04:002010-07-11T15:50:19.229-04:00Chanel Paradoxal...and some other recent endeavorsAs a high school English teacher (I know...the enemy!) I've found myself trying to explain the meaning of a paradox more than a few times. Next time, I may just have to bring in a swatch of Chanel Paradoxal, the newest color in the Chanel polish line.<br />
<br />
As soon as I saw other bloggers swatch this, I knew it had to be mine. I walked my butt over to Neiman Marcus...then left Neiman Marcus to go to the ATM, because I forgot that they only take cash, AmEx, or an NM card...and then walked back into Neiman Marcus to complete my purchase.<br />
<br />
Paradoxal is lovely (like every other Chanel polish I've tried) and it dries to a smooth, glassy finish in two thin coats. I could have gotten this to look good with one thick coat, but I'm a two coat kind of girl. The color is hard to describe. Inside it looks like a dusty plum, or even a dusky grey. Outside it's a purply, taupey shimmer that is just so beautiful. I am in love with this color and I cannot stop putting my nails in the stream of sun coming through my window. It's Chanel and it's lovely.<br />

I made this on my sewing machine from a $3 placemat and some brown satin ribbon:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

However, today's "animal style" manicure actually refers to my favorite of animal prints--the leopard. Leopard nails are my favorite. I used to do them freehand all of the time before I was spoiled by my konad stamper. Perhaps one day I will go back to my simpler ways.</div><br />
This leopard mani is two coats of China Glaze For Audrey with the full nail leopard stamp from konad plate m57 (stamped with Wet N Wild Black Creme). I then used a dotting tool and Essie Exposure for the pink accents, all with a coat of Seche Vite to make them shiny.<br />

The bottle looks very similar to China Glaze, except that there are long S shapes on the cap. This color stood out to me immediately--Black Pearl is, like its namesake, a darkened blue-teal/purple duochrome with a shimmer. Here are some lovely black pearls for you to look at :</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ah, so pretty. I wouldn't say that the formula was as smooth as China Glaze--but the color is to die for! And it definitely lives up to its name...look at this pearly finish:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's not that I'm not patriotic...I just am not into "themed" nails, though I love the works of art everyone else has displayed on their blogs. I have seen some amazing konads and gorgeous reds and blues. I decided--in a very slight nod to our forefathers--to go with a purple.<br />
<br />
Hey--it's red and blue <b>combined</b>! That's about as patriotic as I get...<br />
<br />
This is two coats of Zoya Yasmeen with two of Out the Door. My OtD had some silver foil (from my pedicure) stuck in it and some of it got onto my nails. Excuse the silver color--Yasmeen is in fact, silverless.<br />

I had seen two different versions of Pure Ice Free Spirit on various blogs and I was hoping I would find the one that wasn't mint green--I was never into that trend even though I have a few. I prefer a unique green polish and I was in luck!<br />
<br />
Free Spirit is a darkened lime with a hint of shimmer. Love it! I'd never used this brand before and I'm happy to report that, despite one finicky nail, it's held up nicely for three days. Minimal tipwear.<br />
<br />
This is one coat of Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler, two coats of Free Spirit and two of Out the Door:<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I still have a few more Pure Ice colors to try out, but this dries to a bit of a satiny finish, as it is a hint neon. If you can find this version of Free Spirit, I highly recommend! This is a fun spring/summer color and I'm loving it in this beautiful weather.</div>Lunulandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14250814543687648187noreply@blogger.com5
