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 :-)

Smooth Sailing & Lighthouse

Essie Smooth Sailing is a beautiful muted blue from one of their recent collections. I added one layer of China Glaze Lighthouse on top. I prefer China Glaze White Cap as a top coat over Lighthouse, but this manicure was cute for something different. Layering manicures are simple, fast, and I think most times they turn a plain polish into something really unique.

Gumdrop & Lighthouse

I have been loving China Glaze Lighthouse as a top coat. Today I tried Lighthouse on top of Orly Gumdrop. Gumdrop is pretty on its own, and is pretty with Lighthouse as a top coat as well. I think this is a fun combination and I have had several people ask me what nail polish this is.

Lighthouse With Pink Parka

Here is another mani with China Glaze Lighthouse as a topcoat. I used one of my favorite polishes, Essie Pink Parka, as a base. This combination looks very similar to Lighthouse with Orly Fancy Fuchsia. If you want to see that combination you can read my post here. I had trouble photographing this for some reason, it is brighter in person.

China Glaze Fly & China Glaze Lighthouse

Like China Glaze White Cap, I have been finding so many uses for China Glaze Lighthouse. I love using these shimmering polishes as a top coat for an easy manicure. Today I am wearing China Glaze Fly with Lighthouse. This is two coats of Fly with one coat of Lighthouse.

Does anyone have any new recommendations for other shimmer polishes similar to Lighthouse and White Cap?

Turned Up Turquoise & Lighthouse

I am not a huge fan of China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, but when it has a special top coat I think it is gorgeous. Today I used China Glaze Lighthouse and I love this combination. I think Lighthouse is a prettier top coat than Jesse's Girl Fire Fly for Turned Up Turquoise. If you would like to see Fire Fly with Turned Up Turquoise you can read my post here.

Lighthouse Over Black

If you were curious to see China Glaze Lighthouse over black I tried it out. I am not a fan at all of this combination, but I rarely like dark polishes. I still love Lighthouse though, it looks great over my large collection of pink polishes, and yellow of course.

Last day for my giveaway :)

Fancy Fuchsia & Lighthouse

I was wondering how China Glaze Lighthouse would look layered over different colors. If you want to see what Lighthouse looks over yellow you can read my post here. I used one of my favorite pinks, Orly Fancy Fuchsia, with one coat of Lighthouse on top. I love this combination. In different lighting my mani changes from orange to pink shimmer.

China Glaze: Lighthouse

I was not sure if I would like Lighthouse but I ended up being pretty impressed. It is a bright, yellow gold with flecks of metallic gold sparkle. I used Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow as a base coat.

Has anyone tried using Lighthouse has a top coat for colors other than yellow?

Bright Water Marbling

I experimented with bright water marbling. This was fun to do, but I think I will stick to more subtle water marbling like this from now on.

Spring Mani

I alternated Sally Hansen Hard as Nails "Mellow Yellow" with China Glaze "Peachy Keen" as my base. Then I topped each nail with China Glaze "Broken Hearted", and a topcoat.
