Color Club Take Wing: Sky High

Hi my sweethearts! Long time no see! School started, and it has kept me very busy... sigh...
But anyway, here I have a swatch of Sky High for you, from Color Club's Take Wing collection. It's a beautiful teal based blue that has gorgeous purple shimmer with almost a glassfleck finish. I also got two others from this collection and I'll swatch it next time :3
This polish was a PAIN to photograph! The purple and teal shimmers just don't wanna show up ): stupid camera... I blame you dslr!!!

I believe this is one thick coat. If you do a thin coat, it can be quite sheer, but one generous coat is fine.
One Coat
Can you see the purple? I tried really hard, but my camera just doesnt like purple I guess... But it is quite visible in real life.

Here's a better look at the teal base, it's really shiny under direct light! Glassflecks are always gorgeous under the sun to :3

Here's a better look at the purple duochrome-ish shimmer! It does show up quite nicely on the nail, along with some subtle teal/green shimmer too.

 Great color, but doesn't suit my skin tone. A bit too... blue. Hahaha, too bright, I could see this working for darker skintones or a cooler skintone! Still, doesn't change the fact that I love this color :3 Formula was great, dries faily quickly, and goes on super smoothly! If you want thin even coats, I would suggest 3, but 2 really is good enough.
Hehehe, that's it for today! Until next time :3

Ants in my Pants

Hi everyone! Hope you guys had a wonderful Labor Day :3 I sure did! Full day of doing nothing hahahah. Anyway, I was flipping through my closet the other day, and I spotted these pair of shorts I made in... 8th grade? Sewing class hahaha. And the print was really inspiring so I did a mani on it!

 



Kind of a fail though, I made most of them too fat, like snowmen shaped, hahah. And I crammed too many of them onto my index finger ); But nonetheless, I love them!
Here are the polishes used:
Sally Hansen White on, nameless dark pink, Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby, LA Girls Fairytale, Sinful Colors Black
Would you like a simple pictorial perhaps?

Hehehhe, hope you guy like this! Because I LOOOVE IT <3 p="p">

Icing: Pretty as a Peacock Swatches and Comparisons

Hi my sweethearts :D I have a gorgeous polish to show you guys today! It's Icing's Pretty as a Peacock, lately, I've been pretty impressed with Icing's polishes, definitely going to pick up a few more next time I go earring-shopping! Pretty as a Peacock is a beautiful darkened teal with tons of teal shimmer, blue shimmer, and a bit of purple as well.

2 Coats, this picture captures the blue shimmer really well

1 Coat

2 coats, blurred to see some of the gorgeous purple shimmer at the edges of the nails!

When you first apply this polish, it's a fresh truer teal color, but as you add the second coat, it darkens up. The formula was amazing, smooth, thin. No problems at all here. So, remember the Blue Moon polish I swatched a few days ago? I was afraid that it would be quite similar to that, because in the bottle, the two colors look very similar.

But guess what? NOT ALIKE AT ALL! I love both of them, and I'm looking forward to wearing them during the winter!
Alright, this is it for today, have a fantastic labor day weekend lovelies :*
