ChG Thunderbird

This just glows! A very sexy polish. I Loved it at first, but by day 2 it just looked ordinary. Maybe red shimmer is just too 'normal'.

OPI Yodel Me on My Cell


OPI Yodel Me on My Cell, originally uploaded by kennasmomma.

3 coats. Very good formula, but it doesn't wow me. Ack look at that dry skin! Its slightly duochrome. A wee bit greener or bluer depending on the angle. Its has that frosty shimmer visible in sunshine or bright lighting, that was so popular in fall 2010 collections.

ChG Gussied Up Green

From the fabulous Rodeo Diva Collection of 2008! This could be my ultimate favorite green polish! Its has those darkened edges that give it the vampy quality. The rich green just glows. If you've overlooked this China Glaze Collection check ebay or your favorite etailer.

My collection of squashy boob bottles is growing! Nicole is putting out some awesome nail polish. This is part of the 2010 Holiday Target Exclusive Collection. I picked up quite a few of them. They're just gorgeous! I feel as thoughthis picture is quite lacking. I love the depth of the color and the slight duochromatic pull to blue.

This is a really pretty nude with a subtle shimmer. A great polish when you want great application and need something subtle and clean looking.

My first Mac polish! My photos do not seem to do it justice. The Ott light seems to wash it out and make the coppery hue more prevalent. I am very happy with this polish. I found the formula very good and it wore well.

ChG Tempest over ChG First Class Ticket

I had intended to wear First Class Ticket. I got on 2 or 3 coats and the found the formula gloopey and uneven. So disappointing! I'm afraid I cannot recommend it highly. So I grabbed Tempest, which was untried. I had bought it at Sally's last year and never tried it. OMGosh I was missing out! It is smooth like butter! It has an unusual shimmer to it.. maybe a bit frosty.. I dunno, its sort of duochrome-y. I top coated it and it looks like glass covering its swirl-y duochrominess (are those actual adjectives?). It could be a tad brush strokey, so be careful. This is one coat over the First Class Ticket.

My husband picked this color. He said it was vibrant, but grown up looking. I agree. Its a gorgeous autumn shade, perfect for this time of year.

OPI Cuckoo for this Color


OPI Cuckoo for the Color, originally uploaded by kennasmomma.

I really do like this color! Its a wee bit duochrome. Has that darkened edge and glowing color. This is two coats and the formula was divine.

China Glaze Cowgirl Up


Cowgirl Up, originally uploaded by kennasmomma.

I actually only bought this a month or so ago. I got into nail polish about 6 months after this Rodeo Diva Collection came out. It is such an awesome collection, if you appreciate vampy colors with personality and shimmer. I like the way the edges are darkened and the colors glow from the center. I just ordered a whole bunch more Rodeo Diva's this weekend... they should arrive in the next couple days.

This color is almost the same hue as OPI Diva of Geneva. I layered it on top a couple days later, cuz I figured it was dumb to redo the whole mani. I'm sorry I did not get photos of it to show you.
