BB Couture Man Bug

I officially declare it to be spring! It is definitely warm enough here. I know it's not the same way everywhere else, but who cares it's time for spring polish. I got this BB Couture color in winter, and now is the time to break it out!

Man Bug

Man Bug is a aquarmarine jelly base with iridescent microglitter that flashes gold/green/yellow.

Just like Zoya has their trademark golden shimmer, BB Couture has this trademark iridescent microglitter. I've found the same glitter in colors like Hermosa Surfer Girl, Sex on the Beach, & Horned Devil. I know this same glitter is in many other colors I just don't own them..yet! I love this color, it's perfect for spring.

You can buy BB Couture from OverallBeauty.

Happy Monday!

Essence Caribbean Sea

You know what I hate about nail polish shopping? There are just so many choices it's impossible to pick out things you want if you not looking for something in particular. I went to Sally's today and there is a wall of polish, and if I could I'd buy it all. I can't buy it all, so most of the time I leave empty handed because making a decision is too hard! Anyone else experience this?

Anyways on to pretty polish. I got this Essence polish in a blog sale. It's a pedicure polish since it says "Show Your Feet" on the bottle, but I'm sure most of don't follow rules in the nail world. I do think this would make an excellent pedicure polish though. It can go either way!

Caribbean Sea

Caribbean Sea is a turquoise/aqua frosty shimmer.

This practically glows! I know the word "frost" isn't a very popular one in the nail polish world. Frosty finishes are said to be dated. I can agree to some degree. I think a frosty pink, mauve, or nude probably fit this "outdated" category. I think a frost finish with a vibrant color or an uncommon color actually can be very beautiful, like with Caribbean Sea. This is just my opinion, but a frost done right, for instance with many of the China Glaze Vintage Vixen colors is all good in my book!

Happy Saturday!

Zoya Audrina

I'm officially on spring break (even though it's not technically spring yet)! No more school work until March 14th. I'm very excited. My best friend is coming to visit next weekend, and I haven't seen her 4 years. I know that is insane. We've been best friends since we were 2. I don't know what else I'll be doing spring break, but I'm sure there will be some polish shopping involved! Today, I have a great Zoya for you.

Audrina

Audrina is a bright purple-pink creme.

Spring...summer...are you here yet? This is a perfect color for the warmer months. I love bright cremes. I like this shade too, it's a nice variation from your typical pinks,corals, and oranges you may see in nail polish colors for this season. Great color, I definitely recommend it. I don't think Zoya really does anything wrong. I love their cremes, shimmers, glitters, duchromes, and sheers!

Happy Friday!

China Glaze Pool Party

You may need to whip out the sunglasses for this one because it's bright! I'm so ready for spring/summer. I don't care for the hot weather, but I'm ready for some brighter colors. I really enjoyed China Glaze's Poolside summer collection last year, and this bright pink doesn't disappoint.

Pool Party

Pool Party is a hot neon pink creme.

This isn't bright pink, this is neon. This is blinding, but gorgeous. Honestly, neons are hard to capture, so this is about 10 times brighter in person. I must admit out of any type of nail polish, I am most shy about wearing neons. I think they make way more of a statement than a jam-packed glitter. I think I fear I may damage someones retinas :P. I think neons would make great candidates for black crackle polishes!

On a side note, I'm very excited about China Glaze 2011 summer collection "Island Escape". I've heard it will be released in April, I've seen promo picks from last fall, but haven't heard anything since. I hope we will get more info soon and start seeing swatches. I think it's going to be set of neon cremes and neon glitters/shimmers! I can't wait!

Happy Thursday!

Essie Lollipop

I have to say I am thrilled to have Essie available in multiple stores. I have to say, I didn't have a high opinion off Essie before. I think it was because I had access to so little, and the colors I had, I ordered online. It's nice to be able to see them all in stores now. I especially love seeing them at CVS, with Extra Bucks other CVS deals, these pricier polishes are really affordable. Today, I have a long time Essie lemming that is now fulfilled!

Lollipop

Lollipop is warm cherry red jelly.

This polish was part of the Winter 2009 collection. I think it's been on my wish list from the second I knew it was a "red jelly". Red & jelly are two great words. I really like the formula of this Essie. My opinion of Essie has skyrocketed. I know a lot of people are not fond of them going retail, but I think it's actually good for them. I see more bloggers and general nail addicts purchasing and reviewing Essie polish since it's been more widely available.

Happy Tuesday!
