Jessica Explosives Collection – Summer 2013

Posted on 16 September, 201316 September, 2013 by Cynthia

September is the last true Summer month of the year as the Autumnal Equinox falls on September 22nd (my birthday!). I don’t think California really cares about seasons and such considering that I always feel October is one of the hottest months of the year. I yearn to experience actual seasons, but I guess it’s just not meant to be unless I move somewhere else. There was a time when I swore up and down that I would never live in California as an adult, but now I think that I kind of love this place. I have the beach 10 minutes away, I have nice weather year-round and I have the most amazing dusties known to mankind so why would I ever move?!

The collection I’m sharing with you today is like a stealth ninja collection that completely flew under the radar. In fact, I had a hard time finding any information about it when I first purchased it. I did eventually find information on it and it appears to have been released abroad but didn’t get much fanfare here in the US. That is a true shame because this collection blew my socks off. Let’s take a look at the Jessica Explosives Collection for Summer 2013.

Jessica Radioactive is a lime green polish made me think of a refreshing mojito—not so much radioactive goo. I also kept humming that Imagine Dragons song while I applied this polish. Strangely enough, this is not a color that is very well represented in my stash, and I just don’t get why because I really love this type of color

I am never going to get over my love for teal polishes. Jessica Dynamite Teal is a bright teal polish with some dusty qualities. I love that it’s not so bright that it overpowers your nails. As beautiful as this color is, it’s also a major stainer so make sure that you double up on you base coat.

You probably already know that I love pink polish, so it should not surprise you that I am a fan of Jessica Pink Shockwaves. It’s such a bright bubblegum pink that makes me feel so girlie! How unlike me. I’m always trying to find easy ways to incorporate flashes of color into my wardrobe or make up, so this is the perfect way to achieve it.

Since red is the color that launched my rabid love for nail polish (I still swoon when I wear OPI Vodka & Caviar), I never tire of red polishes—especially when they are well-done. Jessica Atomic Red is a highly pigmented red that is almost a one-coater. It’s so bright and juicy looking but it’s definitely more of a tomato red-orange. I definitely approve.

Hello, yellow! I don’t think it’s a secret that I love yellow polishes, so it should come as no surprise that I loved Jessica Yellow Lightning. The formula wasn’t as problematic as some other yellows I have used in the past, but it was fairly streaky so 3 coats were necessary. This polish does stain slightly so make sure that you apply a generous coat of top coat to protect your natural nails.

Who doesn’t like a beautiful sky blue? Jessica Argon Blue has a very dreamy quality about it, and I just loved the crazy pigmented formula. However, the pigmented formula comes at a price–another major stainer here. A stainer isn’t necessarily a deal breaker for me when the color is this nice, but it’s still a downer.

So what do I think about this collection? I FREAKING LOVE IT! While I don’t think that these are traditional neons, they are fairly bright and do dry satiny so a top coat is necessary if you want them shiny. The formula on all of these polishes is everything I have come to expect from Jessica Cosmetics: absolutely flawless. These polishes are everything I wanted the China Glaze Sunsational neons to be but weren’t. I had to totally search the Jessica website for these polishes as they are super hidden, but they are on there if you’re interested in picking these up. Get these. Get them now! You’re welcome.

Hit Polish – Fall 2013

Posted on 15 September, 2013 by Cynthia

Well hello there! I hope you’re enjoying a relaxing and lazy Sunday. As usual, I have spent my Sunday running errands, doing my laundry and cleaning. I’ve also spent a good deal of it agonizing about having to go to work tomorrow. That’s normal, right? Next week is probably going to be a little busy for me so I’m trying to queue up a a few posts since I probably won’t have time to do my nails–perfect time to try out one of my Fall Incoco designs, eh? Well, this weekend I swatched over 20 polishes so I am really happy about that considering my unplanned hiatus after the great nubbinizing incident of 2013 which I am calling the Nail XYZ Affair. (Winking at any fellow history buffs!) I have three fun Fall polishes to show you today from Hit Polish, and I am really excited about these because it’s my first experience with the brand. Let’s take a look at these pretties.

I was super excited when I saw the bottle of Hit Polish Swamp Thing because the murky green base color along with all that gorgeous glitter just set my heart aflutter. This would be a great layering polish, but I just wanted to try it out on its own. The formula is pretty easy to control, but I still think using the dabbing method is the best way to get good even coverage. I don’t think I was wearing my glasses when I applied this polish because of that huge bald spot on my middle finger! I know I’m totally aging myself, but all I could think about while I used this polish was:

Hahaha! That’s classic. I loved that movie!

Hit Polish Teal Abyss was a biatch to photograph. My lighting made this look a lot more blue than it really is. I first tried to use this polish when it was very hot so it got crazy lumpy. I tried it again when the weather was better, and I didn’t have any issues with it. I would you could see the holo glitter in it, but it’s barely noticeable here. In sunlight, it looks amazing! The formula was a little thick but was manageable at 2 thickish coats.

Lastly, this is Hit Polish Bronzed Beauty. This is a really summery polish in my eyes because it just looks sun-kissed. I think Mr. T would definitely approve of this mani! The formula was really great and super opaque so you will get great coverage with two coats.

Overall, I am super impressed with the quality of all three polishes. I didn’t think that they would be so easy to apply and control since they are very glittery so I am pleasantly surprised. I think that my favorite of the three is Swamp Thing because it’s so unique! I don’t think I have anything like it in my stash, and that’s saying a lot. Make sure that you check out Hit Polish on their website, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest for all their latest news and creations.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope you have had a nice weekend. Talk to you soon!

Marc Jacobs Blue Velvet

Posted on 14 September, 201314 September, 2013 by Cynthia

What a freaking lazy Saturday. Last night I just couldn’t fall asleep, and it was around 3 am when I finally passed out while watching a dumb movie. For whatever reason, my allergies have been acting up really badly so I’ve been feeling kind of miserable despite taking some allergy meds. Oh well. It’s been ridiculously hot here which is typical since we are heading into Fall. Oh you silly California, when will you ever get the temperatures right?

Now that my nails have grown and I am back on the swatching train, I swatched a crapton of polishes last night so I will have plenty of new content for you lovely people. The polish I have for you today is one that I was very, VERY excited to finally try: Marc Jacobs Blue Velvet. I don’t know about you, but I kind of really love Marc Jacobs…maybe a little more than Tom Ford because TF seems like such a smug bastard in the most delicious way possible, of course. When I first read that Marc Jacobs was launching a line of beauty products at Sephora, I nearly expired. When I finally got a chance to see the products, I think I felt a little let down. Before I rattle on and on, let me show you one of the polishes I picked up from his line.

Marc Jacobs Blue Velvet is a highly pigmented blue shimmer polish with the slightest duochrome. In the bottle, you can see some slight pink/purple flashes, but that doesn’t really translate to the nail. Considering that these polishes are supposed to be “Hi-Shine” I was very surprised with how dull-looking it dried. This isn’t really a problem for me since I always use Seche Vite and that makes every polish crazy shiny. The formula is decent: it’s highly pigmented and has a good consistency which gave me great control. I did notice that it was very easy to create bald spots so I do recommend giving this polish a little extra time in between coats. As far as the packaging is concerned, I think the bottles are just weird. I am a sucker for beautiful packaging, but I can’t say that I really like this bottle shape because it just looks awkward. The cap does come off so you don’t have to worry about dealing with the huge cap. My friend Lesley commented previously that if the bottle was a little taller, it would look like deodorant. Hahahahaha! So true!

And this is what happened when I removed Blue Velvet. Arrrrrghhhhh! This polish really stains but on the Cynthia Stainer Scale it’s nowhere near thermo nuclear stainer rating–that is reserved for OPI Fly. I recommend doubling up on base coat so you don’t have to deal with this when you remove your polish.

Overall, I would have to say that I am glad I picked up a couple of polishes from this line, but I am not sure that I will be getting more. I have to admit that I like the allure of luxury polish because you can still experience a little bit of the haute couture magic without spending thousands of dollars. At $18 for a .43oz bottle, these aren’t cheap but they are also more reasonably priced than other luxury polishes. I found the choice of colors painfully dull–not as dull as the colors from Michael Kors’ polish line, but definitely not unique or exciting. Have you picked up any polishes from the Marc Jacobs line at Sephora? Let me know what you think!

Duri Cosmetics Insidious: Chapter 2 Collection

Posted on 11 September, 2013 by Cynthia

I am a movie buff. I love watching tons of movie and don’t really have a favorite genre. If I gave you a list of some of my favorite movies, you’d probably laugh. Actually, let me give you a small list: Dersu Uzala, Billy Madison, The Rock, A Heart In Winter, Anchorman…and the list goes on. I have always been a follower of horror movies—even as a child. I don’t know if this is strictly a cultural thing, but my mom was always telling us ghost/demon stories when I was a kid. I remember being 4 years old and begging my mom to tell me about the time she thought she saw Satan in the family cornfield. I’m not kidding. Coming from a traditional Mexican background meant that all of our family stories involved supernatural events. As much as I liked hearing those stories, I was also scared out of my mind to the point that I would have nightmares every night. I wouldn’t tell my mom about my nightmares because then she would stop telling us the stories and I would miss them. Vicious cycle, I tell ya…

So today I have something to share with you that involves two of my favorite things: horror movies and nail polish. This is my very first experience with Duri so I was very excited about trying out their products. Without further ado, let me show you the Duri Cosmetics Insidious: Chapter 2 Collection.

Duri Lady In White looked like a traditional white cream in the bottle so I was already inwardly groaning thinking about most of my past experiences with white polishes. However, once I applied the polish, I noticed that it had a beautiful pearly sheen to it. While the formula was fairly streaky, I was able to get a good opaque finish with 4 very thin coats, and I would imagine that 3 regular coats would do the job. I really liked this white but it is a little too streaky for my liking. I also liked that the pearly finish kept the color from looking chalky and severe, because who wants White Out nails?

Duri Shocking Twist is one of my favorite colors in this collection because it’s kind of ugly but kind of awesome. The formula on this polish was pretty awesome as it is almost a one coater. It is very pigmented, smooth and shiny. I think the color looks a little off on my darker skin, but that has never stopped me. Because of the green shade (more of a chartreuse?), this polish seems like more of a Spring inspired color. Other than that, really like it!

Duri Red Door is a bright red jelly. Holy Toledo it’s bright! The name of this polish reminded me of my mom using Elizabeth Arden’s perfume, Red Door. I remember how cool I felt trying out her perfumes and such. I got pretty good coverage at one coat, but I don’t really like VNL so I applied a second coat to make the color more opaque.

Duri Steel Shadows looked kind of strange when I was looking at the bottles—strange but promising. I ended up really liking this polish because it has that steely look to it. I do wish that the polish hadn’t dried so dull, but a coat of Seche livened it right up. The formula is thick and easy to control so one coat is all that I needed. One thing to mention is that this polish had a slight odor…I couldn’t quite place it but it didn’t smell like the other polishes.

Hello blue polishes! Haven’t we seen oodles of blues this fall? Duri Nightfall was the polish I was most excited to try and it did not disappoint when it came to the look of it. Just like Steel Shadows, it dried very dull looking—almost like a matte or satin. That’s not really a complaint because I always top coat my manis, but this one had a really bad odor. It smelled like bug spray or something along those lines. Once the polish dried down, the odor went away but it was very unpleasant! I can overlook the odor issue because this polish is so dark and glowy—definitely my favorite.

Remember when black nails were all the rage? Duri Into The Further is a great black crème that applies easily. This could be a one coater because of how thick and opaque the formula is, but I opted to apply 2 thin coats. This color dried to a satin finish which I top coated for a shiny and glossy finish. This is a pretty traditional black crème so I don’t have much to say about it.

Overall, I am pleased with my first Duri experience. I liked the formula on these polishes, and I can’t wait to try more because you know how I love me some creme polishes. These polishes are available now so go get ’em! Are you going to be watching Insidious: Chapter 2? I am!!!! I’ll be watching it on Friday the 13th just to further temp fate since I know how it likes to play cat and mouse with me. If you’re interested in learning more about Duri Cosmetics, make sure that you check them out on their website, Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks for stopping by today!

China Glaze Sprinkles

Posted on 10 September, 2013 by Cynthia

I don’t know about you, but I love finding older polishes. One of my favorite things to do when I need to get my mind off stuff is to head to a few of my dusties and spend some time looking through all of their old polishes. And when I say old, I mean these polishes belong in the land that time forgot because they are usually all dried out and horrible looking. I love spotting old looking bottles and my heart skips a beat when I find some ancient polishes from some of my favorite brands. The only bad thing about dusty hunting is that there are times when I emerge from the stores feeling dirty and covered in dust which is my worst nightmare because of my allergies. It’s all worth it…yes it is. A few weeks ago, I went to a huge polish warehouse and I was completely overwhelmed by the sheer size of this place. I think I would have stayed there for hours, but the owner was basically kicking us out since he wanted to close up. This place isn’t really far from me, but it’s not exactly close either so next time I’ll be sure to get there early so I have plenty of time scope out the joint.
One of the polishes that I picked up during my visit to the polish warehouse Mecca is the one I’m showing you today: China Glaze Sprinkles. From the information I have found, Sprinkles was originally released in the China Rain Collection for Spring/Summer 2001. My bottle doesn’t have the old school lettering, but it does have the old formula/bottle size (.65 oz!) I always love opening up pre 3-free polishes because the chemical scent is mesmerizing…or I could just be getting high off the fumes. I can’t be the only person who really loves the smell of nail polish, right?!

China Glaze Sprinkles is a pink polish with a smattering of magenta and pink glitter. When I first looked at my nails, I thought they looked kind of funky—like they were dirty or something, but that’s just the way the glitter looks. This polish is rather sheer so I had to apply 3 thick coats to get good even coverage. It dried fairly quickly but it did need a coat of Seche to look smooth and shiny. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I keep thinking of pink cupcakes when I look at this polish.
So what do you think? Is this a polish that you would wear or is it to girlie? Even though I like this polish, I think that I have to be in a certain mood to wear such sweet nails. How do you feel about older polishes? Does it annoy you to see polishes on blogs when they are probably very difficult to find? Anyway, thanks for stopping by today!

Jindie Nails Princess Breath

Posted on 8 September, 2013 by Cynthia

Ahhh…Sunday. I don’t know why, but I just thought of the first time I ever read Sunday Morning by Wallace Stevens and how beautiful and true I found his words. Of course it didn’t hurt that the person reading the poem was the professor I was in total brain love with. If you have never read this poem, do yourself a favor and read it. I also really love Wallace Stevens’ story of really coming into his artistic own later in life. There is still hope for me! haha! Anyway, let me get back to the situation at hand: polish! I found a few swatches of polishes I had never gotten around to posting which is great since I haven’t been doing much ever since I cut my nails down to nubs. I am officially overwhelmed by the amount of polishes that are in my “to swatch” box, but I just can’t get to them since my freaking nails are refusing to grow. The next time that I start my crack talk about nubbinizing my nails, please talk me out of it.

Today’s beauty is Jindie Nails Princess Breath. It’s such an appropriate name for such a delicate polish. Since I had been swatching some Bettina polishes when I got my bottle of Princess Breath, I decided to apply it over a coat of Bettina Ocean:

I am sure I have mentioned this a million times, but I will say it again: I am a huge fan of Bettina cream polishes. Isn’t this gorgeous?

This is two coats of Jindie Nails Princess Breath. I love the delicate green base of this polish and the multi-colored circle glitter just make this a beautiful combination. What I really like about this polish is that even though the base is creamy, it doesn’t completely hide all the gorgeous glitter.

I don’t have much going on today besides laundry and cleaning–if you know me, then you know I’m having a great day! I don’t know what it is about doing laundry, but I just love folding warm and clean towels/bedding. I am also very glad that it’s not scorching hot because I am going to wash my car so I’d rather not do that in 90 degree weather. I am not looking forward to starting another work week, but in the same vein of Wallace Stevens’ poem, without work, we wouldn’t be able truly enjoy and appreciate our days off. Amirite or amirite?

I hope that you’ve had a nice weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will catch up with you soon.

Michael Kors Glam Nail Lacquer Envy

Posted on 7 September, 20137 September, 2013 by Cynthia

I hate that I haven’t posted in such a long time, but I’ve been in a craptacular frame of mind so I’ve just been laying low. This month I turn 34–holy crap hello mid-30’s! While I am not a person who is afraid of growing older, I am a little jarred by the idea that one more year has gone by and I am still nowhere near where I wish I was at this age. I am working a dead-end job that I abhor, my health is horrid and I haven’t made many improvements in my personal life. I guess I can say that 2013 hasn’t been THAT bad to me as opposed to 2012 or 2011 which have been the most horrible years of my life so far. ANY improvement is already a small victory, right? Besides being annoyed with my life overall, I also can’t get my dang nails to grow. I nubbinized them a couple of weeks ago, and they are basically refusing to grow at all. Since I hate super short nails AND long nails (hey, I’m the Goldilocks of nails!), I haven’t been able to do any swatching. This really bites because now I am extremely behind with all my swatching but there’s no point crying over spilled acetone.

The polish I have for you today is from Michael Kors’ new beauty line. I’ve got to admit that I was super excited when I saw promo imagines because the packaging looked so luxe and decadent. When I got a chance to check everything out at Macy’s, my excitement fizzled.

I’ll be the first one to say that this promo image looks awesome. However, the bottle does not have a substantial feel to it and the cap feels like cheap plastic so it’s definitely not what I would expect from Michael Kors. Now let’s talk about the actual polish, but let me show you some swatches first.

Michael Kors Glam Nail Lacquer Envy was really the only color in the whole line that even slightly interested me…and by slightly interesting me, I mean that it didn’t make me want to fall asleep from boredom. I would have picked up more polishes if the color choice was more interesting. In all honesty, I think that when it comes to major polish fanatics like us, it is very hard to really impress us. I found that the formula was decent. I wouldn’t say it’s problematic, but I did think that it was a little thin which is not something I can really excuse at this price point. I had some slight bubbling issues but I can blame that on the heat and humidity and not necessarily on the polish. The hue is a typical staple color so it’s not anything that I could get too excited about. As far as cremes go, this is a nice one and I did like how shiny and glossy it looked even without topcoat.

I guess I’m not a fan of this polish. When I’m paying $18 for a .3oz bottle, I think I’m expecting something a little more interesting. Maybe if and when the color palette of this line is more interesting, I may be interested in purchasing more. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t really recommend these polishes unless you’re strictly getting them for the luxury brand appeal. So what do you think? Would you or have you purchased any polishes from this line?

I hope to get back to a regular posting schedule next week so thanks so much for bearing with me. Thanks for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!

KBShimmer: Pretties I Missed

Posted on 29 August, 2013 by Cynthia

Oh my gawh you guys, I am such a spaz. Over a week ago I had a break on my middle finger on my swatching hand so I kept on swatching until I just decided to nubbinize my nails altogether and all of a sudden they just won’t grow!!!! Normally my nails grow pretty quickly, but it’s like they’re growing in slow motion or something. It’s driving me nuts because I have a crapton of polishes to swatch but I can’t stand swatching on my nubs. Some people make nubs look really good, but sadly, my short longanisa fingers just look even stumpier with super short nails so I am patiently waiting for some length so I can get started on the swatch-a-thon to end all swatch-a-thons. That’s what I get for nubbinizing without really thinking it through. Another weird thing that has been going on with my hands is that the skin all around my fingers is peeling like crazy which is something that only happens in the middle of winter. I’m so irritated about that!! I hope that another week of intense moisturizing will get my hands in better condition.

Today I am going to show you some more KBShimmer swatches from past collections. Now that I have gotten a chance to try this brand, I am a fan for life. All of these polishes are amazing and I just absolutely love the formula on all of them. Let’s take a look, shall we?

KBShimmer Iris My Case

KbShimmer Elle

KBShimmer Clown Puke

KBShimmer Ice Queen

All of these polishes are awesome and I’m super glad I got a chance to try them out. I’m sure you’ve heard all about KBShimmer’s 5th anniversary celebration so make sure that you check them out on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and their website for all their latest news. I’m sorry I’ve been so MIA, but I’ve just been feeling out of it lately to the point where I didn’t think I really had much to share on my blog. It’s not that I’m feeling down…just….off. Don’t you hate that? Anyway, hopefully I start to feel better. I’m excited about having Saturday and Sunday off even if I have to work on Monday. You can’t imagine how much I hate working the holidays. Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by, and I will talk to you soon!

Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer So-fari So Good

Posted on 24 August, 201324 August, 2013 by Cynthia

Ever since I was a kid, I have been obsessed with going on a safari. In fact, I’ve been obsessed with archeology and anthropology for as long as I can remember so in my childhood fantasies, I always looked to Africa as the ideal place to make some groundreaking discovery. As an over imaginative child, I fancied myself a Mexican Mary Leakey who would one day find something amazing in Olduvai gorge–which I did try to recreate by digging holes in the yard and calling it a “Plant Club” that I forced my brother and neighborhood kids to join. Oh boy…I was–and still am–a total nerd. As an adult, I have been to Africa twice but North Africa isn’t exactly the Saharan wilderness of my childhood dreams. (And yes, I love North Africa!!!!) Now that I’m taking about Africa, this reminds me of a trip that one of my best friends and I have completely dropped the ball on. When we were in our early 20’s, we promised to make the trek to Tanzania and climb Mount Kilimanjaro before we turned 30. Uhm, yeah…that’s going to happen now. Considering how out of shape I am, I would probably keel over and die halfway up the mountain. This is probably one of my biggest regrets and I still get so mad at myself for not doing this when we had the financial means because of our jobs in the travel industry. Coulda, woulda, shoulda…

As usual, I totally went of on a tangent when my main goal was to show you a pretty polish. Are you ready to see a really awesome color? Here is Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer So-fari So Good:

I don’t care what anyone says…this color is so freaking gorgeous. I don’t even care that it brings out the red in my skin, I just love it. So-fari So Good is a creamy and glossy greyed out green. I think it looked a lot more green in the bottle, so I was a little surprised at how grey it looked once on my nails, but I still love it! The formula was the usual Morgan Taylor creme perfection…super smooth and pigmented and only needing two coats for full opacity. After yesterday’s disappointment with Something To Blog About, I am glad we bounced back with this one.

So I hope that you’re having a great weekend so far. I promised to make my famous red velvet cupcakes for a meeting at work on Monday so I’ll be doing those tomorrow. Other than that, I am going to be a total lazy ass. Ahhh…it felt good saying that. Thanks for stopping by today!

Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer Something To Blog About

Posted on 23 August, 201324 August, 2013 by Cynthia

Guess what? I feel like an old lady today. Since I had the day off, I slept in a little too much even though I had a lot of things to do. Well, it was about 8 am when I decided to get out of bed, but I was still feeling really lazy so I thought it would be a good idea to stretch out. You know how good it feels to stretch out in your bed before getting up? Well, let me tell you what a nightmare that one little stretch turned into. I heard this really weird sound and felt like there was a pop/tear in my back. What the hell? Then I tried to get up, and I literally wanted to cry because my back hurt so bad. I had to roll out of bed and then try to get up. Ever since then, I have had this really dull pain on the left side of my back and any time I lean forward or turn to my left, it hurts even worse. Ok, I know I’m not a spring chicken, but is 33 really that old? I remember being a kid and falling out of trees, getting hit in the gut during dodge ball or getting hit in the face during kickball and it was like nothing even happened 2 seconds later. And now all of a sudden a freaking stretch wrecked my day? Oh boy…I don’t even want to think what’s going to happen when I’m in my 40’s: I’m going to break my leg when I stub my toe on the dresser? This is not going to turn into an “I’m so old” rant, I just hope that my back feels better tomorrow since I do have to go to the gym. Oh, by the way–the gym thing is going kind of freaking awesome. The only thing is that I am not remembering all the reasons why I personally hate the gym so much: people talking so loud I can hear them through my headphones, women in full make-up and hair on the elliptical machines “exercising”, people admiring themselves on the mirror the whole time they are “working out.” I guess I could go on forever, but I won’t because all I care about is getting in there, sweating my poundage off and getting the eff out. I love that feeling of accomplishment after a good workout so I am hoping this helps me stay motivated.

Oh, yeah…this post was supposed to be about polish, huh? Well, I have an interesting one to show you today: Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer Something To Blog About.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who immediately thought of this song/movie, right? I really, really, really enjoyed that movie!!! Anyway, let’s take a lot at the polish:

I have to admit that the main reason I got this polish is because of the name. I just thought it was silly and fun considering that is exactly what I was going to do with the polish! I am a purple lover so I liked the duochrome here but I knew that it would probably be lost on the nail. Well, I’ve got to say that I am not really a fan of the formula on this one (gasp!) because it is so thin! It took 4 thickish coats to get full coverage which is unheard of in my Morgan Taylor experience. I honestly don’t think the color is that awesome, but it’s alright.

So, now I’m thinking I’m going to die tomorrow at work since I have to be there so early. I better get to bed but let me know what you think of this color! That way I’ll have something fun to read when I get to work tomorrow. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
