China Glaze Desert Sun

This is part of China Glaze's recent African Safari Collection. I found it on clarence at Sally Beauty Supply. This is a brown that reminds me of a caramel color. I love it! The shade is to dark to be a nude, dark enough it to show you don't want it to be a nude, but light enough to work with everything. I think this may be my favorite fall color. 


Like all the China Glazes I own, I didn't have any problems with the forumal. No streaks or clumps. I used Essie All In One Base Coat and Orly Sec n Dry Top Coat.

Pure Ice Superstar

Hey! So, as most of of you know, white is a basic color to have in your nail polish collection. It is also one of the hardest colors to find a good fourmla in, at least for me. It took me forever to find on that wasn't streaky. While Sally Hansen White On was good, this is my favorite white.


I didn't have any problems with it streaking or anything! This really suprised me since I've never had good luck with Pure Ice. I'm sorry that my nails are kinda messy, I was using this as a base coat and didn't think that I was going to publish any swatches of it. Enjoy!

Orly Snowcone

Hello! I recently swatched Orly Snowcone. It's a pastel blue that reminds me of Periwinkle, but more blue. This is one of my favorite nail polish and also looks good on toes :) For these pictures I used Orly Top 2 Bottom as a base coat and Orly Sec n Dry as a top. As you can tell, I love Orly.

The pictures are a little dark, but it's the same shade pretty much. I used two coats. One works, but I have a tendency to see balled spots that aren't there. I didn't have any problems with it being streaky, to thin, or too thick. The only small issue I had was that I had to mix up the polish a couple of times because it the color clumped up, if that makes any sense.

Essie Blue Rhapsody

Hello! Today we have one of my two Essies. Blue Rhapsody is part of their Mirror Metallic Collection. I have to say, this may be one of may favorite nail polishes yet.

I was able to score this one on clarence at Ulta. I have no clue why it was on clarence seeing as it just came out. There was nothing wrong with the bottle and the rest were on regular price. I love metallics and this may be on of my favorites. I had no problems with it being streaky or clumpy like some of the other metallics I've tried. It's more of a gray than a blue, but there's enough of a blue tint to see where the name came from.

I used two coats for this, but once again one would have been fine. I used the Orly top and bottom base coat and Orly Sec N Dry top coat, which I what I'll use for everything unless I say other wise. I love them!

This also looks really good on my toes but since I've been in dance my whole life and I'm also a competitive figure skater, I won't subject you to seeing my feet :) 
Thanks for reading!
