Rescue Beauty Lounge Teal


This polish was so easy to work with! Inky, dark, and very opaque. Could have gotten by with one coat probably, but this is two coats, topped with Seche Vite. It's a gorgeous, calm feeling dark blue/geen color. Love it!

Deborah Lippmann I Know What Boys Like

Here are some swatches of a great color from Deborah Lippmann's collection from Summer 2011!




The formula was great on this - very easy to work with. I used three coats and topped it with the Addicted to Speed topcoat from Deborah Lippmann's collection. I took this off on Day 3 just because I have nail polish ADD, but I had only minimal tip wear when I did so.

Rescue Beauty Lounge - Bikini Bottom

This is a very, very sheer watery blue polish from Rescue Beauty Lounge. Since it's so sheer, I layered it over Essie Marshmellow - a polish I don't use much because it frustrates me - to keep the watery look going even with a more opaque background.

Please excuse the chip, my nail broke a little just before this was applied.

China Glaze Starboard

Here is China Glaze's Starboard, from the Anchors Away Collection. It's hard to get a good, true swatch of this one so I showed it in different lights. It's a relatively bright (but not super bright) kelly green. Somehow, it's almost muted and bright at the same time. I paired this with Zoya's Ivanka on my toes.


Application was pretty easy. My bottle was a tiny bit runny so I did a thin coat followed by a thicker one and topped it with CND Super Shiney and Seche Vite. My bottle of SV is super crap right now so it kind of mucked up the end product. I am thinning that sucker today!


I really love this color! It's definitely a different toned green than any others I have. Not too blue or yellow, not too grayed out. A true, fun green!

China Glaze Ruby Pumps

This is one I have had for a while and been meaning to try, so with the 4th of July so close I thought it was time!

Baby was getting fussy so please excuse my sloppy, sloppy work...



Blurry one to show the sparkles better..


Formula on this was pretty good, mine was a tiny bit goopy but nothing too bad. Top coat is CND Shiney and Seche Vite.
