Well, I didn't think it was possible, but I have 2 nail polishes that I don't really love, and will probably part with, if possible. First up, I have China Glaze In The Lime Light, I bought it because it was in the beginning stages of my nail polish collecting, and I didn't have any neons or greens, so I grabbed it. Now that I have worn it (and I'm wearing it on my toes), I don't really love it. I like the look of the China Glaze Kiwicoolada better, from the poolside collection, but even that I'm not a fan of. I like green, I guess, just not neon. Anyways, in my pictures I have it as 1 coat on my index, 4 on my middle, 1 coat of white and 3 coats of In the Lime Light on my ring and 2 coats of white and 3 coats of In the Lime Light on my pinky. The white base was just to see if it made a huge colour difference, which in my opinion didn't, but whatever, it's for comparison's sake.

| the white basecoat makes the colour a bit brighter, but not much |

Next up, I have Wet n' Wild Gray's Anatomy, I thought I was really going to love this, but I think its a bit too sheer for my taste, and I'm not really one for layering polishes...just not my thing. My nails have 3 coats of Gray's Anatomy.
It's just really sheer. I might try it over top of black to see what it looks like, but it was kind of a disappointment. I have liked other people's swatches, they didn't seem as sheer as mine. Maybe I'll have to give it another go over a black or gray base. We'll see. How do you feel about these nail polishes? Have one? Like one? Want one? (We can swap!)
Also, my other obsessison, which has been dormant since my mom yelled at me, is purses. I used to own a lot/buy a lot, especially in High School. So, I was thinking of doing a "what's in your purse" blog post, which I have seen other places. Basically, you take a picture of your purse, and the contents, and gimme a label of the contents (maybe a lil back story if you so feel), what do you think? Interested?

Thanks for reading!
I have been known to put on up to 6 coats just to make my nails look like the color in a bottle. I'm not happy about that because I expect a polish to deliver in under 3 coats. I don't really want to spend more time than that on getting opaqueness.
ReplyDelete@ Kimberly, me too. I have done like 6 coats before, and too be honest I could have tried that with Gray's Anatomy but I was so lazy, and I wasn't loving it as much as I thought I would...*sigh* :(
ReplyDelete"Gray's Anatomy" looks soo much like the OPI Katy Perry "Not Like the Movies" which is true to colour in two coats. (it also looks super cool under shatter).
ReplyDeleteYep, I know. I have seen some swatches and it's pretty, but after wearing Gray's Anatomy, the colour isn't thrilling me, even if it was opaque
