Peachy Keen & Lighthouse

China Glaze Peachy Keen and China Glaze Lighthouse and both beautiful polishes alone but together they are extra special. I love this combination. This manicure is simple and is especially pretty in the sunlight. I am looking forward to wearing these polishes together for pedicures this summer :-)

Light My Tiki & White Cap

This is a simple manicure, two coats of China Glaze Light My Tiki, with one coat of my favorite topcoat, China Glaze White Cap. China Glaze Light My Tiki was one of my first China Glaze polishes. I still remember how great it felt to "splurge" and pay $6 for one nail polish at Sally's. After the start of my blog my collection has grown enormously, and I think I now own 20-25 China Glaze polishes. If you would like to see my last post on my polish collection visit here. I need to update again, I will put that on my list of things to do ;).

Coral & Stamping

Tonight I used my new Bundle Monster plates again to create this manicure. For the base I used Orly Pixie Stix, and for the stamping I used a cheap black Wet n Wild polish. I had been having trouble with this image plate, but the black Wet n Wild seem to work okay.

Orly Butterflies

Orly Butterflies is a shiny coral-pink creme. I like jelly/creme polishes but I think this would look pretty with a shimmer top coat. I love the Orly bottles and brushes, so found it pretty easy to apply. This is two coats, no top coat.

This polish looked just like Orly Coquette Cutie (from their newest collection) in the bottle. You can read my post on that here.

Orly Pixy Stix

Orly Pixy Stix is from the Sweet 2010 Spring Collection. Pixy Stix is a pink creme that looks like a combination between pink and a little bit of peach. I had no problems with application and it was opaque in two coats. Surprisingly I have no similar polishes. This is two coats, no top coat.

Coral With Teal Glitter

I tried another unnamed Dollar Tree NYC polish. The NYC was a bright coral that was pretty but was also sheer. For something different I added L.A. Colors Treasure Island as a top coat. I am surprised how much I liked the coral with the teal. This is two coats of NYC with one coat of Treasure Island.

Here are a few images of the coral NYC on its own.

China Glaze I Wanna Lei Ya

I Wanna Lei Ya is a cute bright pink, coral color with subtle silver shimmer. It will be great for summer. It does need a couple of coats to be opaque. Overall I am not thrilled with the color, it is nothing spectacular, but I think it would be pretty for a pedicure. This is three coats, no top coat.

100 Followers Giveaway Question & New China Glaze

I ordered these polishes from nailogy.com. I would recommend nailogy and I will order from them again. They had fast shipping, that was reasonably priced.

Bare If You Dare, I Wanna Lei Ya, Tantalize Me, Secondhand Silk, Emotion.

I will be having an international 100 followers giveaway (when I finally reach 100) and one of these polishes will be included. I am starting to collect polishes now. If you have any suggestions for polishes to pick up please leave a comment below :)

Essie Haute as Hello

Haute As Hello is from Essie's Summer 2010 collection. I thought this color would be a soft coral but it looks like a neon melon color. Either way, it's pretty. It is very bright, probably best for a pedicure. I did not have a problem with application, 3 coats may be best but i could work with two. This is two coats, no topcoat.

New Essie

My mom ordered me four new Essie colors online for my upcoming Birthday. I was bored and lonely yesterday so I may have opened a little them early ;) (My birthday is not until the 19th)

Haute as Hello, Forget Me Nots, Pink Parka, Splash of Grenadine

I spent at least two hours online looking through photos to pick out the four Essie colors I wanted. I love them all!

China Glaze Coral Star

China Glaze Coral Star is perfect for summer. It is a bright pinky coral with a fine shimmer. It is very bright and eye catching. It requires two coats to get it opaque, which is pretty standard for China Glaze polishes and is very easy to apply. This is two coats, no topcoat.

Coral Star is part of the China Glaze Core Collection.
