Still no snow but we have a bit of ice - today's posting is Jesse's Girl Riff-Raff, a gorgeous melting pot of browns ... Originally I was so confused about this color - it's almost like a dark caramel? Shimmer, almost metallic in brush strokes - amazing.
I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Riff-Raff and a top of Seche Vite. To be honest, the coverage on this polish was so nice I could have gotten away with one coat but I did two to be safe.
I took a lot of sun pictures because this color is actually quite a gem.
Dark shimmer - love it. A bit of gold peeking out too.
You can really see the sparkles on my middle finger.
The shade almost makes this color look like one of those Tiger's Eye rocks I used to love as a kid. Very beautiful color - very unexpected of a brown.
Jesse's Girl sells for $2.99 a bottle online or at Rite Aid stores. You can visit Jesse's Girl on their website, Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.

Even though it's 29 degrees outside (really?! And no snow at all...), I have a hot little neon number to warm you up. Jesse's Girl Beach Baby is the older sister of Baby Cakes, still pink, still neon, but just a little darker. I used a base coat of Seche Natural and 3 coats of Beach Baby. I did not use a top coat, so you're seeing the matte finish of neons.
Well hello. It's ALMOST a coral but it's not. Just look how hot that really is!
Even in the shade, this color just GLOWS. Definitely a great summer color or just something to pretend like it's summer with.

After reading Scrangie's post about Nina Ultra Pro Purple-xing, I had to have it for myself. Probably the best part is the name - I'm going with her ultimate guess of "perplexing" which is such a good play on words. Now for me, this was a straight up purple glitter with rainbow silver glitter (the kind that reflects light). LOVE, love, love, love.
I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Purple-xing and then it got weird. I used my Seche Vite like normal, but then my polish was still lumpy. REALLY lumpy. I then added a second coat of Seche Vite but the lumpiness was still there. It never did smooth out.
Here in the sun, you can see the grittiness and lumps especially on my ring finger - what's up with that?! It's almost like China Glaze Flying Dragon where the neon parts stand out - no clue what's up with that.
In the shade, you can still see some of the lumps and what looks like a bare spot in the top half middle of my first nail. Grr. As usual, removal was a bit longer because this is a glitter. Overall, lovely - I paid a whole $3 for this at Sally's Beauty Supply and was super happy.
Unfortunately, I can't find any information on Nina Ultra Pro other than the fact it's located for sale at Sally's Beauty Supply - anyone else have more?
This is not my polish for sale, but the owner of said polish is someone I trust and respect.

Okay, really? I'm not normally a green polish person. I normally freak out with green because I'm scared my nails will be stained yellow. However, Zoya's Gemma from the Intimates Collection ended up being my manicure for almost THREE days. That's pretty epic for a green. Gemma is listed as a mysterious green/purple duotone metallic. Yeah, it's definitely awesome and mysterious and WOW. Check this out!
Do you see that purple and blue duochrome goodness? Seriously, enlarge the picture - it's worth it! I'll wait for you.

Welcome back. ^_^ I used a base coat of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of Gemma and a top of Zoya Armor. Then, because I was rushed, I put on a top coat of Seche Vite over my Armor and I didn't wait long enough so you'll notice the wrinkling on my ring finger. That's what happens when you drag wet polish.
In the sun, you mostly see the olive green going but there's a bit of blue/purple shimmer in there. Erm, duochrome... duotone... it's all great.
In the shade, this color almost looks like a jelly! (Sorbet?) Watery, murky, I'm in love. This is why I kept this color on for so long. I love it. Definitely a new favorite for me.
Zoya [official website] can be purchased on their website for $8/bottle.
