Here is the other half of the 2011 summer collection from deborah lippmann, I Know What Boys Like which is a medium blue violet creme jelly/sorbet color. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this color because it's kind of a cornflower blue and I'm just generally scared of blues because of Smurf Fingers (staining when you remove blue polish) and it's not a very "normal" color. That's one good thing about blogging - I'm exposed to colors I would never pick up normally.
I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of IKWBL and a top of Seche Vite. The formula was very nice on this polish.
In the sun you can see a bit of what looks like VNL on my middle finger - I can't recall right off what that was. I was really surprised how much I actually liked this color and HOORAH! No staining upon removal.
In the shade, you can see a lot of reflection on the nail because this is a very squishy color that reflects a lot of light. I think this would also be really pretty with some nail art on top or even some rhinestones.

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).
