A tint of Desire

This is Revlon Just Tinted in Desire.  I love the Just Tinted line because they have a ton of color, but are still sheer and light.  The finish on the Just Tinted line is also really neat, they aren't matte, but they aren't glossy either. They are this weird suede-like in between that I just adore.

I actually stamped this manicure, but it's going to be awhile before I show my Konad skills on the blog.  Let's just say that it leaves something to be desired.

I love a good Cupcake

This is Orly Cupcake.  This color applies flawlessly and is overall just an amazing polish.  I love Orly for their pastel cremes, they always apply like a dream and look so beautiful.  If I could only have one finish from one brand for the rest of my life it would be Orly cremes.  They are fantastic to work with.

Since I only have one picture of Cupcake and I don't really  want to do a whole post on the pedicure I figure I'll throw this one right here.  This is Deborah Lippmann Believe.  Nothing too special, but I can't really resist a Lippmann.

Starry Pink's Popular

For this post I am wearing Revlon Starry Pink.  This one has also been rereleased as Popular.  I can't say I love this color, but it's nice for what it is.  Maybe I don't love it because it doesn't really play well with my skin tone.

All I can think of when I see the name Popular is the musical Wicked.  I sang that piece as a chorale number back in highschool and it gets stuck in my head at even the mere mention of the word.

A Radiant Blue Mosaic

I have an incredibly funny story that goes along with this bottle of polish.  Although, at the time it was not entertaining in the least.  The bottle you are looking at is Revlon Blue Mosaic, which has since been repromoted as Radiant.  I used to own Blue Mosaic, now I own Radiant.  For once I am really glad a company rereleased a polish.

One morning I woke up and walked out into the living room to find a large puddle of blue goo on my mother's beige carpet. Apparently, since my darling dog had been left alone for too long, he (or she, don't know which) decided to go treasure hunting in my purse. I had left the bottle of Blue Mosaic in my bag just in case I needed to touch up a nail throughout the day. Buster (or Scarlet) found the bottle and destroyed it all over the living room floor. Needless to say, I spent the day on the phone with my Uncle who owns a Servpro tending to the mess.

This is what a bottle of nail polish looks like after one or two corgis have gotten to it.  I know, it's a horribly depressing sight.

I gave my Concubine some Sugar

 For this manicure I wore a coat of MAC Concubine with a layer of Orly Sugar on top.  You can only really see Sugar in the right light, but it added a lot of dimension to the MAC polish.

 I was pretty disappointed with Concubine on its own, the beautiful raspberry shimmer in the bottle didn't translate to the nail nearly as well.  I decided to add a little help from one of my favourite subtle shimmers.

Inside with the flash you can see a lot of the glitter from Sugar.  I probably used two coats to even get that much reflection, but it was definitely worth it.  The polish is so thin that you can layer it over and over to get the amount of glimmer you want.  It's definitely worth picking up to spice up polishes that need a little extra oomph.

The Royal Navy Hails the Queen

TOE POST WARNING WARNING!

This is a funky french on my toes with Butter London All Hail the Queen and Royal Navy.  This looked gorgeous on and frankly I had trouble taking it off.  I didn't think I would like a french on my feet, but for some reason it really looked good to me.  The only issue was the the tips chipped earlier than usual due to there being a thicker layer at the ends, but that wasn't hard to touch up.  Overall I was increredibly pleased with this pedicure!

My Dunky is Purple

 Here is my other Glitter Gal polish Purple 3D/Holo as an accent over OPI Funky Dunky.  I love the OPI Shrek colors, they are all incredibly pigmented and behave beautifully!

Yet again the holo in the Glitter Gal was amazing.  And in purple I just fell in love.  Anything purple on my nails instantly becomes my new obsession while I am wearing it.  This was no exception!  I would even sneak peeks while I was driving!
