rainbow nails.

Day nine of the 31 Day Challenge, rainbow nails!
I had so many ideas for this one, rainbow tips, rainbows, each nail a different color, etc. However, for now, this one won. :)



I was a little strapped for time so this is not to the best of my ability, I should of taken the time to do this properly with scotch tape or something.
Thumb: Avon "Tangtastic" & Avon "Urban Grey" 2 coats each
Index: Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Lively Lilac" & Revlon Scented "Bubblegum" 2 coats each
Middle: 17 Lasting Fix "True Blue" & 17 Lasting Fix "Orange Soda" 2 coats each
Ring: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Blue Me Away" & Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Lightening" 2 coats each
Pinky: Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Mint Sprint" & "Lickety Split Lime" 2 coats each

you know how the time flies, only yesterday was the time of our lives.


17 Lasting Fix "True Blue" 2 coats
My camera simply didn't agree with this color, it's much brighter than it appears, slightly darker than a royal blue.

never mind, i'll find someone like you.


17 Lasting Fix "Chateau" 2 coats
Now... i'm a little disappointed, although it's a bittersweet kind of disappointment. In the bottle this looks like a gorgeous red with gold through it. Hoooowever, it's pink. =/ Although, I really do like the pink (bittersweet part). It looks nothing like the bottle, it's really pink and not even close to red. I tried multiple coats on a sheet of paper and it never did turn red, just got darker pink.

all i wanna see is a sky full of lighters

I was getting kinda bored today & decided to swatch some of my international haul polishes, however, i'm losing light pretty quickly so two of them will have to wait until another day. This post is also a comparison post because of the slight similarity I noticed between one new and one old polish.

Thumb, Middle and Pinky finger are wearing 17 Lasting Fix "Orange Soda" 4 coats
Index and Ring finger are wearing Revlon Scented "Mad About Mango" 4 coats
As far as the color, Mad About Mango is slightly darker, however, on the first coat these two look almost identical. As for coverage, Man About Mango was good in three coats but I did 4 for a fair comparison. If I had to choose between the two, i'd probably pick Mad About Mango just  because of the scent, it smells amazing and kind of reminds me of mango frozen yogurt. However, I do love the color of both polishes equally.

wingdings & blue skies.

So, today, I have a bunch of things to do, all of which do not come with times attached. SO, just to avoid being caught with my nails bare or half done, I added to yesterdays nail design.

Design: Rimmel London 60 Seconds "Sky High' 3 coats

Then, because I can't leave things alone, 17 Fast Finish "Peacock" 1 coat

haul

International haul!
My mom was in Scotland for the last ten days or so and I sent her with a list of polishes I wanted from the UK. She got me these beauties from Boots, I had a lot of George polish on my list but she couldn't find any of them while there. Anyways, on to the haul and todays nails.
Now, although I tend to participate in Pink Wednesdays, I loved my nails from yesterday so much, I just had to keep them on an extra day! However, earlier this evening I tested out one of my new polishes.

Hot Looks "Mint Mojo" 3 coats
I have no idea where exactly this polish came from but I like it!
