Sea Creature

Good morning!! I have a gorgeous polish to share with you all!! Two polishes, really! :)

First:
Wet n Wild's Teal of Fortune! This is a gorgeous teal jelly with lots and lots of glitter!

This is:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty base coat
1 coat Orly's base coat
2 coats Teal of Fortune
no top coat.

Here it is with flash! I really like this color. The brush is a little thick, but the color is worth fighting with the clean up! Speaking of clean up, it was a little tough. I feel like blues and teals like this always stain my skin. So I spent a lot of time doing clean up, because of that pesky brush. The formula is pretty thin, but the tiny glitter is not sparse. It is FULL of glitter.
I really love this color. I like darker teals. This polish by itself probably needs to have 3 coats to have full coverage, but I knew I would be layering with it, so I only did two.

Now for the star of the show:
The Hungry Asian's Sea Creature. This polish has been on my wish list for a long time. Even before I started this blog. I recently got it via mail for $4.50. Even though I knew I would love this polish, I went ahead and got the smaller bottle, due to financial lacking. BOO.
This polish is a jelly polish. Because I layered it, I'm not sure if it has an actual tint. I felt like it made Teal of Fortune just a tad darker. But it is FILLED with green, black, blue, and pinkish/purple glitter. The application was amazing. The formula is divine. And the way it feels on my nails is sooo smooth. Especially for a glitter!
Clean up was cake, mainly because the brush in this little bottle is awesome. I never have a big issue. I have a few stray glitters, but that is to be expected.
I literally can not stop staring at my nails. I am ALWAYS so impressed with The Hungry Asian's polishes. They're made SO beautifully!!!

Here's a sun shot. I took these in the evening yesterday, so they aren't the greatest sun shots. I'm sorry. I will be making a light box for myself again soon! I used to have one for my jewelry photos, but my little ones destroyed it.

Doesn't that picture make you want to go out and buy all of her polishes?? YUM! My next purchase from her will be U Jelly Red and Twenty Ten. I just need to start making money from buying polishes. Maybe I should be a secret polish buyer, or have a company pay me to try their polishes. Seriously. I accept polish as payment!

All in all, another wonderful manicure! I will probably wear this one for a few days, or until it chips. I can't bring myself to take off this gorgeous color/glitter/awesomeness!! I AM IN LOVE!!

 What do you all think of this color/polish/glitter? Have you tried any of The Hungry Asian's polishes??? What would you do differently??

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!! <3<3<3

Until next time....

I am thinking about hosting a tiny giveaway once I hit 25 subscribers. What do you think? What polish should I give away??

Let Your Garter Down

Yesterday, I was at Ulta, and I saw a mini set of Ulta polishes for $9.99. I couldn't help myself (especially since I was there to exchange a $10 polish!) so I picked it up. It is called Lust in Lace. And let me tell you that I am happy with my purchase!

My daughter asked me to use the blue polish today, so that is just what I did.

Ok, here is what I did:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty base coat
1 coat Orly's base coat
2 coats Ulta Let Your Garter Down
1 coat Seche Vite

Let Your Garter Down is a black based polish with blue glass flecks. I personally think it is gorgeous. I love wearing black/dark polishes, and having that extra color flash makes me oh so happy!

I do have a pros/cons list to share with you.

Pros:

• Beautiful color! I don't have anything like it.
• The clean up was unbelievably easy. Usually with darker colors it is a nightmare...but this polish cleaned up so fast and soooo easy! Love that!
• The blue is subtle...which I love. I hesitate on blue polishes...I don't know why.
• It was opaque in two coats! Usually with black based polishes like this, I have to do a coat of my Pure Ice Black Rage. But not with this polish! This baby is all by herself!

Cons:

• Drying time was a pain. I mean, it wasn't HORRIBLE...but I felt like it was tacky longer than any other polish.
• Let me just tell you how much I HATE square polish tops. I HATE HATE HATE them! (Right now my Seyhan would be saying "OHHHH MOOOOM!!! YOU SAID A BAD WOOOORD! We don't say hate in our house....so I'm sure you can see how much I dislike square polish tops. lol.)
• Because the polish bottle is small, I felt like the brush was shorter than a normal small bottle. I don't know. It just felt like it was weird in my hand.

As you can tell, there aren't as many cons...which makes me happy. I'm really excited to swatch and share the other 3 colors with you!!

 This is in the sun.

  The clean up, as stated above, was so incredibly easy, that I went a little overboard on my index finger. Lol. And don't get me started on my clean up brush. Let's just say that my children like to smash my paint brushes into every hard surface possible....

What do you guys think about this polish? Would you wear it? I think it would be a cool black to start with when doing a galaxy manicure! Ohh! I just might have to try that! <3

Until next time....
