China Glaze - Surfin' For Boys

Hey!

Today ends my haul of China Glaze nail polish. This is the last one I have to share, and it's also from the 2012 Summer Neons collection, like a few of the other ones. Here is Surfin' For Boys. It's a darker orange, but still  bright, with some nice shimmer.This is also a nice polish for the transition into fall, since it's a bit toned down. I applied 2 coats for the images below.

China Glaze - Bahamian Escape

Hello everyone!

This is my second to last nail polish from my China Glaze Haul. I really love this color, preferably for spring though! It's still so pretty to wear any time. Please excuse the zebra design being a bit streaky and blurred... I put a top coat on too soon :(. Anyways, I still think it looks amazing! It helps if you squint your eyes then you don't see the smudge lol. I used two coats for the photos below.

China Glaze - Mom's Chiffon

Hey guys!

This is my third to last China Glaze polish that I have been wanting to show everyone! I also got some of the holiday ones, but I want to save them for later on. The one i have here, Mom's Chiffon is a really pretty color. I like it a lot more than I thought I did at first. Its a darker pink, but not mauve or red. There's no shimmer and it dries to a nice creamy finish. I think this is the perfect transition color from summer into fall, maybe even spring into summer! It's not bright, or pastel, it's just perfect. I used 2 coats for the photos below.

Update + Essie Collection

Hey Everybody!

I'm so sorry for not posting anything lately! I haven't been feeling well due to a past concussion. And this week starts my vacation. Not to mention how busy I've been! Literally I haven't been home all week. I hope you all understand, I promise I'll be back next week, with a bunch of China Glaze polishes I said I'd swatch. Hope everyone is doing well!

I also wanted to mention yet another collection from Essie that is ready available at the website, here. It's called the Yogaga Collection, obviously based around yoga! They all look like they'd be great transition colors from summer to fall, maybe even spring, and the names are so cute! It definitely has some nice colors, as opposed to boring taupes!                                                                           

Olympic Nail Art

T.G.I.F! Any plans for the weekend? Wherever you go, you should kick it off with these awesome nails!

So today I have my first nail art… and I’m so excited to show it off! Though in the past I have done many designs, this is the first one I’ve posted since I’ve had my blog.  So here we are… Olympic Nails! I created this myself, and I’m so happy and pleased with the turnout. Though it did take a hefty amount of time and patience, the end result is amazing! Of course if you wanted to replace the flag to represent your country you could… or swap out the medals too! If you would like to know the name and brand of any specific polishes, please leave me a comment or an email!

Upcoming Fall 2012 Collections

Welcome August! July flew by too fast, and summer is almost over. Fall is my favorite season though so I'm not too bummed haha. 

I just wanted to mention a few upcoming fall collections, either coming out or newly releases. China Glaze has one coming out sometime this month. It’s called the Bohemian Collection. It includes six luster chrome shades, a must for fall. This collection is already available here, on head2toebeauty.com. Next we have Essie with the Fall 2012 Stylenomics Collection. I am pretty sure it also hasn't been released yet because it's not on their website. It includes six shades as well, all neutral toned with two pops of color, red and purple. You can purchase these here. And lastly we have O.P.I. They are bringing out the Fall 2012 Germany Collection. I haven't seen these available online yet, but they are available in stores August 8th. This collection has 12 polishes, and from pictures, I'm honestly not impressed with any of the shades. They all seem boring, and the ones that aren't I probably have a dupe of. Kind of a disappointment, but I guess I can't really judge because I haven't seen them in real life. I hope other brands will introduce better collections than these, although, the China Glaze one does seem cool. Don't get me wrong, I understand fall is all about the neutral, deep tones, but at least through some glitter or shimmer in there! So those are the collections I have heard about so far, and I'll be keeping an ear out for more!
