You Don't Know Jacques in Lincoln Park After Dark!


Day 11

Hey all! Today we got out of chocolate class later than usual, busy day!! Sorry for the crappy cuticles- dishwashing in class'll do that. :) Today's nails are simple, since I didn't have a whole lot of time in between class and other duties. I hope you still like it though!!



I used OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte as a base with OPI You Don't Know Jacques Suede on the tips. :)

Have a great Saturday!! (What's left of it!)

China Glaze Khrome Collection

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I had some sun today, so I swatched the China Glaze Khromes for you. Each is two coats over a base. I used Nubar Foundation for five, and Zoya Get Even for the one I did a full manicure with. Get Even dries way slower than the Khromes, so I got massive bubbles. It's a bad mix...

The Khromes really do look like metal, and they dry fast. I waited for them to dry before taking pictures.

There are a few variations of gold. This is 2030.

A little darker is Hi-Tek.

Darker still, more of a bronze, is Robotika.

The silver is Millenium.

Kind of an aqua green is Metallic Muse.

Here's my bubbly one. It's a slightly lavender silver, Sci-Fi.

Those are the Khromes. Completely unrelated to the rest of this is the fact that I'm a few days behind on answering comments - I've just been overloaded busy recently. I'm reading them as they come in, and will answer them this weekend.

That's all for now, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Zoya Ultra Glitter Collection

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

Today I have some swatches and a manicure with Zoya's Ultra Glitters. Their site says they give full coverage in two coats, I found that each took three.

I'll start with the manicure, which even after two coats of Diamont was gritty. This is Astra.

The swatches are of the pink, Nova...

...and the silver, Luna.

Astra was really hard to remove to do the swatches of the other two - way more difficult than the China Glaze glitters.

On an unrelated note, the Wow So Cool Giveaway winners have been notified and contacted by Wow So Cool. Congratulations!

That's what I have for you today, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!
