HD Surfer

The Polish
BC: Nailtiques - Formula 2
Main: Essie - Pret-a-Surfer, two coats
Glitter: Milani - HD, one coat
TC: Seche Vite

Pret-a-Surfer is a nice blurple creme that was almost the color I wanted today... but not quite. I considered layering Sparkling Garbage over it but switched at the last moment to HD. I'm super happy with the result. <3 It greys the shade just a little, and you can't go wrong with a little added holo. Know what else? I was watching some videos on my swatch account this morning, and noticed a similar color on Holly Berry's favorites of 2016. Hehehe. :3

Wear: Removed on Day 5 with a little lifting

Mystical

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

It's All Surfers Now

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Main: Essie - Pret-a-Surfer, two coats
Accent: Tough as Nails Lacquer - It's All Over Now, three coats
TC: Seche Vite

I don't normally do purples OR Essies, but I've been liking Essie cremes more and more recently, so I thought I'd try this blurple. I THINK it's blue enough for me not to hate it on my nails! Also kept the accent from last mani, 'cause it's super cute irl.

Day 2, ignore the dry skin, but this is what it looks like normally.

Also, look! More live swatches! Whaaaat! :D

Wear: Slight lifting starting on Day 3, removed on Day 4

Epic

The Polish
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Sally Girl - Epic, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Oh MAN, this bold, blurple creme is adorable. I loved it a lot more than I expected to. SO kept calling it blue, but it's definitely blurple.

Wear: Didn't keep super close track because I was on vacation. Some lifting starting around Day 4-ish? Right pinkie nail lifted off around that time, and by the time I got around to using remover on Day 7, all nails had some chipping or lifting, bah.

Mystic

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

Okay, not the nicest application, and I got some bubbling going on, but IDGAF! I cannot express how awesome this polish is! If I were the person to cuss, aside from in letter abbreviations, THIS would be the polish to make me do it.

Wear: Minor tipwear and chips on Day 4 from cleaning, removed on Day 5 with lifting

Soccer Mom

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Colors By Llarowe - Soccer Mom, three coats
TC: Seche Vite

Uhm.. No.. No, this isn't what I want in my life, thank you. *Immediate purge*

Soccer Mom seemed to be a nice color online, but in person, maybe it's just not right for my skin tone? I knew it was a purple-leaning blue scattered holo, but... I don't know.. it's just not working for me. The fact that it needs three coats and is STILL streaky isn't doing it any favors, either. Maybe someone who likes the color more than me can make it work for them.

Wear: Removed on Day 2 with no noticeable wear

Vintage NYPD

Vintage Wet N Wild - NYPD (Crystalic 491B)

Not much to say here. It's a pretty, pearl-y blurple (I kinda hate that word, but it's what they call it!) I got in a box of vintages hand-me-downs. It's nice, but I think it'll be going into the swap-box soon. First three fingers have two coats. Pinky has only one coat, because I like to see what things look like with only one coat. I'm silly like that. :P No clean-up, so sorry for the slight mess.
