China Glaze BFF
Never wore this one before. I have a bunch of the OMGs, but I've sort of ignored the pinks in my collection. This one is fabulous! Cool, girlie pink.

Ulta Limelight + dots
I got a set of 5 dotting tools on Ebay for $4.38. I've been wanting to try some nail dot art. I used Limelight as the base and for the dots: ChG Lemon Fizz, OPI What's With the Cattitude?, OPI Ogre-the Top Blue, Essie Little Brown Dress, and Essie Sew Psyched.
I'm happy with it. I have a scrub top that has these sorts of colors that inspired me.

China Glaze LOL
They might be laughing out loud, because this is the least holo color in the OMG Collection. Its a fabulous purple, but the holo is just a hint. These are linear holos, meaning the particles are tiny and the rainbow reflection is very tight and organized. These are my favorite holos. I do wish they would come back again. The Tronica China Glaze collection, this spring, is a scattered and dull holo. I didn't buy any. They're exclusively at Sally's and Cosmoprof.

ChG Empowerment + NOPI Love Your Life
3 coats of Empowerment. The polish looks better in these photos than it looks right now in shade. I don't know if it changed colors or if its just the different lighting. It looks so pale and soft in the photo, but currently its a less flattering (for me) warmer, louder pink.
The formula on Empowerment was a little thick and goopey. I thinned it, but it got goopey again by the next coat.
Love Your Life was thick. Not the easiest to apply, but it worked out. It seems to have tiny pink and light blue glitter in it. I wonder if this is a dupe for the UK Valentine's 2009 polish, Be Mine You're Fine!
I think I need to find a cooler pink cream that looks like Empowerment to make me happy! Hmm maybe one of those OPI Hong Kong pinks?

ChG Underground Pink + CG City Lights + OPI Teenage Dream
I get a little crazy with the layering. I'm just trying to make a good polish better. Often, if I put on a polish and it just doesn't have the wow factor I will make it better. I like to experiment on nail wheels first, also.
I did 2 or 3 coats of Underground Pink and it just wasn't doing it for me, with the tone of my skin. I added City Lights, a fine holo clearcoat, but it wasn't enough. Time for Teenage Dream! The result: a sweet subtle pink with "in your face" sparkle. Like pink cupcakes with sparklie sugar sprinkled on top! Nom nom nom
