more texture

Another textured polish from Zoya, Vespa from the Pixie Dust collection in a pale celadon or maybe pale pistachio that I feel like I've been seeing a lot of lately in polishes and otherwise.

Best application I've had from a Zoya yet. I even liked it a bit sheer in one coat, so I did one coat on one hand and two on the other. I had someone remark on how sparkly it was, even in dim lighting. I did really enjoy wearing this one and it wore quite well. Can't wait to try the black one!

Fiat 500 that reminds me a bit of Vespa :)

holo gradient fail

It'll make me feel better to point out just a FEW things wrong about this--did I even clean this up? Didn't I know you're supposed to take pictures of holos in the sun? This makes me sad. Anyway, my original plain Cherubic nails chipped to fast to get pics and it had been really grey here. So...craptastic. Jacked up. Sorry. 

These Color Club Halo Hues holos are really holo and really cheap. I used an aqua base here. 

The layers are Jade Seducao Rose, China Glaze L8R G8R (nearly invisible), and Color Club Cherubic.

another pretty from Enchanted

I haven't really seen swatches for this yet and don't have any, but it's way better in person than the few pics I've seen online and in the sun, holy jeez. Check out these bottle shots (in a stupid format I can't fix) of Enchanted February 2013. I'd love to see some swatches from others!

I'm SO BORED

With everything else--so I really hope I have time to do my nails tonight :) and so on that note, let's start the month off right, with this new Liquid Sand from OPI, called The Impossible, I think. 

One of the only blue-based (it is, right?) pinks I've ever works on me, ever. It reminds me so much of cherry chapstick brand chapstick. I was expecting to hate this, but it was way more beautiful than I expected and wore really well. Not too bad to remove, either. I'm wondering if any of the other texture polishes drastically differ in their look or feel.
