Beguiling Mirrorball

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: Revlon - Beguile,  three coats
Accent: Orly - Mirrorball, three coats
TC: Seche Vite

This is my first time uploading an entry entirely from my phone! I'm on vacation for two weeks, so phone will be my only computer for a while. Hopefully it works!

I really only needed two coats of Beguile, but I've just taken to using three coats most of the time. *shrug* But Mirrorball definitely needed three to be opaque enough on its own. I had considered layering it over Beguile, but meh. Accent is fine for now. Maybe next time. :)

Wear: Removed on Day 7 with chips

Ocean Breeze

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Revlon - Ocean Breeze, three coats
TC: Seche Vite

Oh, this color again! It's strange because I don't tend to enjoy metallics much, but this one is so bright and colorful.. it just calls to me. It's almost a green-blue duochrome, but it shows teal most of the time. In the picture below, you can ALMOST see the blue part of the shift.

Wear: Removed on Day 5 with some lifting

London

The Polish
BC: None
Color: Zoya - London, three coats
TC: None

Hey, remember that time that I super loved London? Yeah, that time has already passed. I don't know what happened. I keep finding that I don't enjoy all the things I used to love... :( I was trying to go through my stash and pull out everything I wanted to destash for the winter swap this year, but.. I don't think that's happening. I think I still need to pause because I'm not in the best place mentally for destashing. I'mma just stick with the ones I'm already super enjoying these days. So be prepared for some more swatches of things you've already seen recently! :P

Wear: Removed on Day 4 with some tip wear

Celestial HD

The Polish
BC: Nailtiques - Formula 2
Main: Nail Fantasies - Celestial, two coats
Topper: Milani - HD, one coat
TC: Seche Vite

Anyone remember how I said toppers look dumb? Like you had a perfectly good mani but then covered it with garbage? I think that's how I feel about this, but... I'm not actually sure.

Celestial is an old Nail Fantasies I got from the summer local swap. It's old, but it's still got a great formula. It must have been expertly thinned before it ended up in my hands. It's a navy with stunning blue flash. I really like it... but do I love it? Enough to take it out of purgatory? I.. don't think so just yet. It'll go back until I wear it another time to make sure.

And of course I love HD, but.. as a topper over a dark color? I hadn't tried that before. At first I thought I hated it, but I think it's growing on me. I still prefer it on its own or over lighter colors, but this isn't so bad!

Wear: Started to lift on Day 3, removed on Day 4

Special Snowflake

The Polish
BC: Nailtiques - Formula 2
Color: Maya Cosmetics - Special Snowflake, three coats
TC: Seche Vite

Hmm... I'm not quite sure what it is.. This used to be one of my very favorite polishes. I wonder why I'm not completely feeling it this time around. Perhaps because it needs a little thinning? I dunno.. I'mma put it back in the box and decide on it later.

Wear: Removed on Day 3 after a little stress picking

Mystical

The Polish
BC: Nailtiques - Formula 2
Color: Revlon - Mystical, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Okay, turns out this one DOES need three coats. Meh. I was in a hurry. Still looked lovely inside. :P

Wear: Removed on Day 3 with some lifting

Where Oh Werewolf

The Polish
BC: Nailtiques - Formula 2
Color: Sinful Colors - Where Oh Werewolf, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Where Oh Werewolf, a nice grey creme with silver shimmer, is my pick from the 2016 Halloween collection!

Wear: Removed on Day 3 with slight lifting so that I wouldn't anxiety pick at it
