China Glaze Sea's The Day

Press Sample 

If you follow my social media, you know that I purchased a bottle of Rouge Louboutin from Christian Louboutin last night. It led to a LOT of talk about red polishes. I'm pretty sure a good portion of my polish hoard collection contains red cremes. Today is China Glaze Sea's The Day, a red creme from the 2014 Summer Collection "Off Shore". 

I used a base coat of Cult Nails Get It On, ONE coat of polish and finished it with Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That. 

Stop. Did you read that? ONE coat of polish. This polish was SO highly pigmented and opaque. And we're talking a thin layer of polish - I didn't gloop it on.

Here it is in the sun. So lovely. No flooding in the cuticles, no messy brush strokes. Just lovely polish.

In the shade, you can see that it's super opaque - no visible nail lines here.

Finally with some indirect light. This is seriously a lovely polish and I'm glad I have it in addition to my hundreds of other red cremes. Reds are classic.

Zoya Naturel Deux

Last week at Cosmoprof North America, I went by to see Zoya (as in THE Zoya) and a special Zoya Fairy who has her "hand" in everything (like literally, she is THE hand in the swatches you see) and I got to catch a sneak peek at the new Naturel Deux collection that will be coming out late summer, early fall 2014. Now, you know I've said before "NO MORE NUDES" but I have to say, I'm a little in love with Madeline.

These are available for preorder now, and I'm looking to order the whole set personally. What stands out to you?

Brand Overview: Jamberry Nails


Sisters and best friends Keri, Christy and Lyndsey launched Jamberry Nails in 2010 for women just like themselves who wanted perfectly manicured nails while running from the gym to school drop offs to work and back again. They wanted something doable for people who don't necessarily do "girly" stuff - something easy to follow, last a long time, stylish and can speak to a woman's personal tastes.

KBShimmer Quick And Flirty

 Nothing To Disclose

If you know me, you know how much I love purple. Add holographic? I'm sold. So when KBShimmer came out with Quick And Flirty in their Spring 2014 collection, I had to buy it (with a few others). 

I used a base coat of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and topped it with KBShimmer's top coat Clearly On Top. This was also my first time using Clearly On Top and I was happy that it didn't dull the holographic properties of the polish.

Full on sun. Hello beautiful. So you can see there is a nice glow on this polish - easy to apply, no flooding in the cuticles.

Even in the shade you can see this lovely scattered/linear holographic all in one. And it's all mine. Muahaha. I need to check this against a few older polishes of mine (that are now discontinued) to see how close they are.

KBShimmer [website] can be purchased through their website for those in the United States and through Harlow and Co for international sales. Prices range from $7.50 to $8.75. Connect with KBShimmer through their social media networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.
