Essie Body Language

This polish is awesome! I'm very happy I finally bought it. It applies great (3 coats) and looks great! There's something so edgy and fresh about these sorts of colors. Fashionable without being flashy.

This polish applied and wore really well. I had it on for almost a week, no chips!

Ulta Limelight + dots


Ulta Limelight + dots, originally uploaded by kennasmomma.

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.

I hesitated to try this polish, because I expected to be disappointed. Ulta polishes are sort of hit or miss. Many are glopey and streaky and have poor formulas. This one is excellent! 3 coats were needed due to the sheerness, but the results were superb. It isn't really what I expect lime to be... its more of a soft spring green.

OPI Funky Dunkey

I've had this polish since last summer and never wore it. Its a great medium purple cream! It applies really well, this is 2 coats. The name is sort of lame... I guess donkey doesn't rhyme with funky.

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?

Even after a year I'm still loving this green cream. Its the perfect between bright and dark. This is 2 coats and the application was very good.

ChG Lemon Fizz


ChG Lemon Fizz, originally uploaded by kennasmomma.

Yellows and oranges always make my skin look purple in photos! This is 3 thick coats and you can see the bubbles that formed. I don't know why I felt the desire for yellow in January. My husband commented on the odd choice for this time of year.

I'm so impressed with this formula. It was streaky and needed 3 coats, rather thick coats. I was worried it wouldn't dry fully and would dent, but it dried so quickly and completely. I don't think the color compliments my skin tone very well, but I received a few unexpected compliments. It seems like a slightly lighter version of Zoya Sweet.

Flawless application. It did chip the next day, though :(

It is a fair bit darker than I imagined it would be. It can almost look black in lower light.

Zoya Skye

Love this polish. Its more like a ballet slipper beige-pink than the photo. Close to RBL Plie. I like this polish, because it isn't as sheer as some pale Zoya colors. Very pleased this one.

This is a pretty crappy photo. My day old mani is all gunked up. Still, I show you it, because I adore this color. I am smitten with the entire ChG 2010 Holiday collection. So many great polishes. I believe I bought them all.

Application and formula were great.
