Moved~!

With my recent pairing down of polishes and six-month hiatus while I acclimated to a new job, the style of this blog has been overwhelming. I thought about switching to Instagram because that's where most people seem to keep their nail swatches these days, but the biggest thing that kept me away was the ability to only post one picture at a time. I really like being able to show different angles of one manicure sometimes, and I knew I wouldn't be able to do that on Instagram. Tumblr, however, has that function.

Thus, the birth of Guilty Pleasure Colors Tumblr.

I've been considering going back and rearchiving everything on there, but that, too, seems overwhelming to me right now. We'll see! Perhaps I'll go through all my nail pictures and organize something nice. <3

Most Sinful

BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Polish: Sinful Shine - Most Sinful, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

TC: Seche Vite

Wear: Removed on Day 6

HD Glass

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: Sinful Colors - Glass Pink, two coats
Glitter: Milani - HD, one coat
TC: Seche Vite

I almost added a second layer of HD, but I'm glad I didn't. With just one coat, you can just barely make out the soft pink underneath. Pretty princess nails, yay~! <3

Wear: Removed on Day 4

Pret-a-Surfer

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Essie - Pret-a Surfer, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Wear: Chipping starting on Day 4, removed on Day 5

BEGL's PDTS 3.7

TC: Seche Vite

Wear: Removed on Day 6

Sea Lily

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: E.L.F. - Sea Escape, two coats
Topper: Revlon - Cala Lily, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Hmm... No, I don't think I'm going to consider this a win. Sea Escape was pretty, but it looks like I got a bunch of junk all over it. I think I actually just need to get rid of Calla Lily. I've been hesitant to because it was one of my favorites at one point, but I just don't like it as much now. I'm sad that no one will love it as much as I did, but I have to remember that I don't even love it as much as I did, either. Purge time.

Wear: Stress picked a little on Day 3, removed on Day 4

Ocean Breeze

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

No pics from Day 1, so here's one from Day 3.

Wear: Forgot to record

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: Revlon - Calla Lily, two coats
Glitter Topper: InDecisive Lacquer - Sugar, one coat
TC: Seche Vite

Wear: Removed on Day 4 after some anxiety picking

Blue Azucar

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: Sinful Shine - Endless Blue, two coats
Glitter Topper: Silly Bee's Chickadees - Azucar, one coat
TC: Seche Vite

Wear: Removed on Day 4

Olivera

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Zoya - Olivera, one coat
TC: Seche Vite

Why can't I ever get this one to look nice? Probably because I keep forgetting that it's a one-coater and apply it sloppy thinking that I can cover it up with the second coat, hah.

Wear: Removed on Day 3

Sparkling Mirror

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: Orly - MirrorBall, two coats
Topper: Orly - Sparkling Garbage, one coat
TC: Seche Vite

I haven't been wearing Sparkling Garbage much because I don't really enjoy that shade of green, but it's soooo sparkly.. so just one coat over MirrorBall, and the green isn't too much. Just soft and pretty. <3

Wear: Picked off on Day 4 with stress

Star Bikini

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: Essie - Bikini So Teeny, two coats
Glitter Topper: Rainbow Polish - Shooting Star, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Shooting Star was my first indie, and it's still getting love as I discover how it looks over allll the cremes!

This one isn't my favorite (I think maybe I prefer it over darker colors?), but it's still adorable!

Wear: Stars were all picked off by the end of Day 1, as usual. :/ Removed the rest on Day 3

Spellbound

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Glam Polish - Spellbound, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Wear: Removed on Day 4 with some chipping on the sides

Altruism

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Mentality Polish - Altruism, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Wear: Some minor chips on Day 5, removed on Day 7

Gloomy Sea and Sky

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Grey: Fancy Gloss - Feeling Gloomy, two coats
Blue: The Polish Bar - Summer Sea, two coats
Lavender: The Polish Bar - Serene Skies, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Loooove <3 These are three of my favorite polishes, and I've been meaning to do a skittlette with them for a while now. They all have the same supposed-to-be-holo-but-are-just-pretty-shimmers-in-practicality formula, and their shades are a similar muted, greyed opacity. They look so pretty together, and I'm so happy!

Wear: Lifting started on Day 4, removed on Day 6

Alicia

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

Still unsure what I think about this. It's cute, but I definitely have similar ones that I prefer more. There is an actual scattered holo effect that just refused to be photographed, but I still can't help but say, "Meh," to it. Nor can I let myself put it into the purge box. >_< So back into the contemplation box yet again with you!

Wear: Removed on Day 7 with a few chips
