it is the end of summer and even though I am well beyond school age, I can't help but get sorrowful at the onset of the academic year. thus, i am holding on to summer with all of the white knuckled intensity of an olympic fan who watched every last moment of the closing ceremonies hoping for a glimpse of one last match or race. before i make the transition into impatient gilmore girl fan praying for november, i crave the bright & neon colors i was too timid to don earlier this heated season. this week i left my comfort zone, tried a neutral I had long put off, and trod a well worn path in hopes of finding something new ... how silly! august 16, 2016 "refresh" l.a. colors color craze gel extreme shine 😇 i am very impressed with the recent polishes I bought in this collection. the baby blue "breezy" was also pretty and well wearing. i topped this over a white base to give it the umph I thought it deserved as an almost neon grass green. this polish feels ambitious but i thought it was fun and fresh. i find these colors to be bright and entertaining, and great bargains. august 18, 2016 "dinge" floss gloss 😇 i needed to wear a neutral for a work event, so i tracked down "dinge" in my collection. i had not worn it yet because the online photos appeared lighter and less pink-toned than the bottle that came to my door. still a nice pinky-nude, I held the color confusion against this bottle of "dinge," but I shouldn't have. the color is great. the formula is a different story. not the messiest or most difficult, but not as easy to work with as the other floss gloss polishes I own. i am on a search for that perfect nude or even just a nude with a great formula. this sadly, is not it. 😓 august 21, 2016 "hop in my invisible jet!" orly color blast wonder woman 😇 "black/peach splatter" blackheart beauty from hot topic 😇 i only wear cremes, the occasional metallic or shimmer polish. for me to experiment with a confetti top coat is certainly out of the ordinary. i felt a little silly, but this was a fun look and maybe even one that i'll try again. I don't know, perhaps my nails are too short to pull the look off? august 23, 2016
"road trippin" orly pacific coast highway 😇 "almost famous" color club mini 😇 i went down the "road trippin" road again. despite my previous best efforts, I still found it to be thick and streaky. i saw a review of the yellow polish in orly's Wonder Woman collection that had the exact same problem. perhaps orly has a problem with yellow shade formulas. i put "almost famous" by color club on my ring fingers and pinkies. next to the neon "road trippin" it looks like mustard. the other color club polishes i own have far superior formulas. I felt like I was striking out all night! the reason polishes appear to be okay: i use a fool proof julieg gel plumping top coat, and finish it off with glisten and glow's HK girl super shiny fast dry top coat.
