French Tip Crackle!

I am showing today a french tip with the color "In the Lime Light" by China Glaze. I then stripped black on it and realized it was too messy (the brush did NOT want to work with me) for me to wear out. I added some black crackle by CG and it looked MUCH better :) Then finally toped it off with "Fairy Dust" by CG also.

Pure Ice now has crackle!!

While I was driving today, I looked at my local Walgreens sign and it said Crackle Nail Polish 3.99. Of COURSE I had to check out what it was. It was Pure Ice! I didn't even know they were coming out with some! They do have multiple colors. I couldn't take a picture of the display the lady was standing right next to it. But here are two I picked up and I will swatch later!

Maxed out Magenta and a Comparison!!

Today is my manicure "Maxed Out Magenta" by Sally Hansen. When I was doing this manicure it reminded me of "Caribbean Temptation" by China Glaze. I decided to compare them!



Blurry ugh. I didn't realize it when I took them and I have to go to my lesson. After I may!

Now here is my comparison:


Yep, pretty much dupes as I thought. In person one is a TAD bit purple which is the Sally Hansen. The only problem is it's actually a bit more sheer than the China Glaze. The Sally Hansen takes 3 coats to be opaque while China Glaze only takes two. If you have one of these, you definitely don't need the other.

Grape Pop/Silver Shatter

This combo I have today is actually an idea from another site "The Daily Varnish". I loved it soooo much I wanted to do it for myself. It did not disappoint! I LOVE IT!!!

It is "Grape Pop" by China Glaze and "Silver Shatter" by OPI.

China Glaze Blue Iguana.

These are some pictures of my swatch of Blue Iguana. In person it is actually darker. I saw swatches of it online and it didn't seem like the same color I had on, but once you take pictures it does show up lighter on the pictures. Overall though I LOVE it! It has "glass flecks" as a finish and its just gorgeous.
