this week, subtly rules as i explore altering cremes with sheer color top coats. I am calling this is technique "layer cremes" which i am sure has a very creepy urban dictionary definition. then I switched to bolder colors for celebratory purposes. march 10, 2016 "can't afjord not to" opi collection: 2014 fall Nordic topped with "in the spot-light pink" opi collection: limited edition New York City ballet collection "can't afjord not to" is an opaque "coral" creme that leaned way to orange for my taste. i prefer a pinky coral, so i topped it with the very sheer bridal pink "in the spot-light..." the resulting hue was fun and pinky and more subtle than bright. march 14, 2016 "pink smart" sinful colors collection: what's hot 2015 topped with "act your beige!" opi collection: 2015 soft shades "pink smart" is a cute bubble gum pink: not really my style but unique in my collection. i lightened it up considerably with 2 top coats of "act your beige" which is a very sheer creamy almost white beige. i am still on barbie's street, but not quite living in the dream house. march 16, 2016 "starboard" china glaze collection: 2011 spring "anchors away" collection finish: creme wore this for st. patrick's day of course! great creme! formula was really easy to work with and no staining in sight! i need to compare this to my other green cremes that almost exact dupes for each other (below): "pretty edgy" essie "exotic green" sinful colors march 18, 2016 "cursed" blackheart beauty at hottopic 2 for $5 finish: creme this was amazing. the packaging is the best! so fun! and ... Here is the big surprise... I was blown away by the formula. Opaque in one coat and shiny as hell! I suspected it was just novelty and good packaging. it totally surprised me with a terrific formula. they had a lot of glitters there; i bought two cremes (to take advantage of the sale). I may go back and pick up the rest of the cremes! and maybe one or two glitters! i saw a you tube review by phoebe moon (below). She covers the glitters and one creme. She loved the creme as much I loved mine, so this could be a great unexpected resource of incredible creme formulas! the blackheart beauty cremes I saw at my local hot topic (yours may differ)! black "cursed" (featured here) bright tomato red "cherries jubilee" dark bloody red "darkest red" (i think) a dark charcoal a lighter gray that leaned purple a minty green "mint" (I think) a fushia pink a bright blue a light yellow that looked like it was a glow in the dark top coat weekly wrap upmust have: "cursed" by blackheart beauty at hot topic was my clear winner! i am delighted with this and you cannot beat the price. you need a black in your collection and this one is the tops!
pick-up: "starboard" china glaze. this oldie is great and dark green and grass green are coming back this spring and summer! pick-up 2: the top coats I used in my "layer cremes" this week are terrific for giving new life to polishes. i loved the layered effect! I think I will have real fun this summer with these as toppers! pick-up 3: i think "pink smart" is a great dupe for opi's famous "mod about you" and it's way cheaper and, from what I have heard, "pink smart" surely has a better formula! meh: opi's "can't afjord not to" has a terrific formula, but the color read almost neon orange on the nail, before I put a topper on. this was disappointing bc I don't love orange on me. so if you like orange polish, go for it! just know the color in the bottle is not represented on your nails. other than that, it's all good.
