Another rainy and steamy Sunday here - fun times! Please feel free to check out today's blogs of note.
First is Public Service Beauty. This is another makeup blog and one that features a lot of my favorite brand - Urban Decay. :)
Next is Pucks and Polish. She has short nails and features a variety of brands and also has some nail art featured.
Last today is R3Daily. Maria is the owner of the nail polish brand Cult Nails, so be sure to check out her blog for new colors, product information and more!
As you may have seen or heard, Blogger has been doing some maintenance. I don't know what happened to yesterday's post but I'm going to refrain from posting any more reviews until Sunday (most likely). Sorry friends!
While editing these pictures, I had the Beatles stuck in my head ALL NIGHT LONG. All You Need Is Color from the FingerPaints 2011 Summer Collection is a blue and green glitter in a slightly clear/blue base. It's hard to explain. It reminds me a lot of China Glaze Atlantis, minus the holo glitter.
I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 3 coats of All You Need Is Color, and a top of Seche Vite. The formula was very nice - not goopy or thick.
Very nice coverage and shine in the sun. You can see a bit of VNL especially close to my cuticles but not enough to fully bother me.
The shade is also a pretty teal/turquoise blue.
Indoors with flash shows a bit of sparse nail on the ring finger.
I also tried a coat of CND Blackjack on my thumb to see how that would work with the glitter. This is 2 coats of All You Need Is Color over Blackjack.
In comparison to the whole hand:
It doesn't alter the appearance that much, but it is a difference. Definitely a pretty blue if you are able to pick it up.

I love purple. From the FingerPaints Summer 2011 "Peace, Love and Color" collection, Peaceful Purple is a nice plum purple filled with purple and silver glitter. I'm in love already.
I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of polish and a top of Seche Vite. Formula was awesome.
There is just a hint of VNL in the sun, and almost reminds me a bit of Sally Hansen Rockstar Pink. It is a glitter, so it's not fun to remove, but it's much more purple packed.
The purple is a tad cooler looking in the shade but still packs quite a punch. (It's alliteration time for me!)
And indoors with the flash. I really am a big fan of this color - being purple and all. :] Definitely my close 2nd favorite of the collection (first being Give Pink A Chance).

Oh look, another cloudy day. Fun. Kind of a "throwback" to winter 2010, this is Frosty from the "Tis the Season" China Glaze collection. I originally wanted to swatch this side by side with White-Kwik-Silvr but for now, my comparison posts are on hold until I can get through my mountain of polish. I'm even trying to hold off on swatching a few new purchases just so I can mentally will myself to get through all that I have here. You never realize how much you have until you realize you don't have anywhere to put it anymore but more on that later.
Frosty is a white frosty shimmer polish. I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Frosty and a top coat of Seche Vite. The application was good - not too runny or thick.
Once again, I apologize for the lack of sun. Texas weather is so weird... one day it's 60 and cloudy, the next day it's 96 and super sunny. Go figure. As you can see, there is some visible nail line (VNL) showing on my fingers, but it's almost okay with it? I really hate sheers, so this was a weird one for me.
Indoors with flash - again, VNL. It's almost a pearly white, which I didn't expect originally.
