Summer Peach!

-American Apparel Summer Peach

-American Apparel L'Esprit

I recently got two of American Apparel's new shades! Summer Peach and L'Esprit. I LOVE them both so much! Next to summer peach L'Esprit looks a little darker than it actually is. They're both such great shades and so great for summer!

Purple Gradient

-Essie St. Lucia Lilac

-Hot Topic Periwinkle

-Claire's Magic

-Sephora by OPI It's Bouquet with Me

First attempt at a gradient! Enjoy! :)

Mermaid!

-Hot Topic Green/Blue Duochrome polish (no name, but it's similar to Black Pearl by Savina)

-Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

-China Glaze Wireless holographic topcoat

So.. funny story about Hidden Treasure. I had been seeing swatches of this everywhere and I completely fell IN LOVE with it. I saw that people were having the most luck at Walgreen's but had heard that it was still pretty hard to find. I literally looked all over town and went to at least 5 Walgreen's before I finally found it! There were a few places that had the display that only holds TWO hidden treasures but they were already gone. One of the employees told me that supposedly since the collection is new, they only got two of each of the complete salon manicure colors. CRAZY! But I'm glad I got my hands on one! Big flakes reflecting green, red and yellow. I couldn't resist! So beautiful :) Love the combo of these polishes. I also wore Hidden Treasure over Hunter by American Apparel which looked great! I'll probably be using this polish a lot :D

If you happen to see one of these polishes you should pick one up because I'm not positive if the whole collection will be permanent?

Chicken Pox D:

-MAC Coconut Ice (base)

-MAC Malibu Peach (dots)

Lolli

-Orly Lollipop

-Konad Plate m51

My first Orly polish and I love it! Lollipop is a cute pinky lavender. I'll definitely be getting more Orly in the future!

Sun Worshiper

-China Glaze Sun Worshiper

So these pictures really don't do the color justice at all. It is so neon, it really is a task to avoid looking at your nails :p If you haven't looked at the China Glaze Poolside collection, you really should! All of the shades are awesome and perfect for summer. I used 3 coats here but I will probably use a white base next time and see how that works.

Khrome

-China Glaze Millennium (ONE COAT!)

This color is AMAZING and is probably one of my favorite polishes ever. It came out with the Khrome collection in September or October of 2009 I believe? Enjoy!
