Sally Hansen Pacific Blue & Sinful Colors Endless Blue Comparison

Hi everyone! Today I have 2 awesome blue polishes to compare. 

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue & Sinful Colors Endless Blue

Middle and pinky finger- Pacific Blue

Pointer and ringer finger- Endless Blue

I used 2 coats of each color. If you apply them very carefully, you can get away with one coat, but I like to apply two coats to be safe :) They both dry quickly and shiny. As you can see Endless Blue is darker and more of a true blue, as Pacific Blue is more of a cornflower blue

Thanks for reading :D

China Glaze: Kinetic Candy & Comparison

Hi everyone! Today I have an awesome color from China Glaze's Electropop collection. I ordered it on eBay because the Sally's I go to is terribly lame and they never have anything new or cool. Anyway, this is the color that caught my eye, I don't own that may light blues.

China Glaze Kinetic Candy is a light blue creme. The formula was a little thick but it only needed 2 coats to be opaque.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, the weather has been pretty gloomy these past few days.

I compared Kinetic Candy on my nails and on a plastic nail display.

Blue: Snowflakes

Hi everyone! Today I have another Christmas manicure. I'm practicing on my snowflake art so these aren't that awesome. I made a mistake on my pinky so I drew some trees instead. I used acrylic paint for the designs. I wanted to use a pretty glittery blue as the base, so I used two different polishes.

Colors used:

China Glaze: Frostbite (3 coats)

OPI: Last Friday Night (1 coat)

Christmas Nail Art

It's finally December! I love this time of year, all the holidays and cold weather! Today I used some acrylic paints from Michael's to draw some Christmas designs on my nails, this was my first time using them along with my nail art brushes. I bought my nail art brushes from ebay seller: susuway. I mixed white and brown to make light brown but I didn't mix them well enough, so my gingerbread man looks swirled lol. Also I have new lighting for my pictures, my husband bought me a cool lamp for my nail pictures :)

Memorial Day 2011

Hello everyone! I hope you had a good day. Sorry for the lack of posts. I know, I suck. But I have pretty polish to show you today, I know everyone has already seen this color but I just tried it out today and I love the color!
Mac Wonder Woman Collection: Spirit of Truth- The first coat was super opaque on most of my nails but I used two coats to even it out.

The box is so awesome :)

By my window (sorry for the quality)

It's almost the same color as my skinny jeans :)

I bought this top at Old Navy for like $5-6 dollars. It's white and Navy blue :)
