Mirrored Nails Du Jour 6.29.09

I have been searching for a mirror like/ foil finish on nail polish FOREVER! I always talk about it and try hundreds of silver nail polishes in hope of finding one like this. Someone on specktra had told me about this one and the only place to get it is on eBay from a UK Seller. I went straight to eBay and scooped it up. THANK GOD I DID! This is exactly what I have been looking for, a foil metallic like finish!

This nail polish comes with two bottles, a base coat and a silver coat. I put the bade on first and let fully dry for about 4-5 minutes. I then put on the silver coat and it looked like any old silver nail polish after I got to my third finger, the first finger was dried and turned into a foil finish like magic before my very own eyes. I couldn't believe it!

Anyway, see for your self...good stuff. Be warned though the wear life is not too hot. Mine started to chip quickly, I did not use a top coat though. I was scared to use a top coat as I thought it might dull the finish.



Any suggestions for a top coat besides Seche Vite?

Obsession Du Jour 6.24.09

Nail Polish from Illamasqua in Rampage, this is the stock photo from their website. The color shown in Muse. Rampage is a rich hunter emerald green, shown below.

I love GREEN! Its my favorite color ever and on my nails it is no different. I have been on the hunt for a hunter green, har har har, pun intended. Seriously, I love rich jewel tones and Rampage by Illamasqua is a deep emerald color, with no shimmer. I absolutely ADORE it. The formula is creamy and very opaque, 2 coats and it is opaque as it gets! This is my new go to color. It is so unique, and a great alternative to black or OPI Lincoln Park after dark. It is unexpected and I love it!

Took this picture in a taxi to work today!

A little bonus shot, of Stephy last night, we carried our salads home to eat in my apartment. Here she is with a salad with a blob of guacamole on top, what a happy pretty girl! Hi lovie.

China Glaze: For Audrey and Recycle

I was walking downtown today and I found a little beauty shop that had every China Glaze color ever. I was so excited I burst through the doors and guess what I found... For Audrey. The perfect tiffany blue box color. I also found the best grey ever, I have been on the eternal search for the perfect neutral grey color. I have tried everything from OPI for Sephora Metro Chic (too purple) to OPI You Don't Know Jacques (too brown). Recycle from China Glaze is AMAZING, it is the most perfect elephant, matte grey. I am extremely pleased. I will swatch on nails tommorow.
Has anyone else fallen in love with Recycle by China Glaze?
