Blue Comparison

I realized that I had three very similar blues, so I decided to do a comparison.

Pinky: Ulta - Blue Streak
Ring: Essie - Mezmerised (yes, they spell it incorrectly)
Middle: L'Oreal - Jet Set To Paris

Two Coats of each:


The Ulta took the longest to dry, by far. The L'Oreal was the quickest to dry. 

Here they are with Essie - Matte About You


For some reason the matte top coat seemed to go on best over the Ulta, but that may have been my imagination. I guess I need to get rid of two of these. This was my first time using L'Oreal polish and I was really pleased with it!

Do you see a difference?

Don't forget to enter my first giveaway!

Flakies Comparison

I used my last Julep here. It's a dark green jelly. The application was fine but it needs three coats to be opaque.

Base: Julep - Diane (3 coats)
Flakies on thumb, middle, and pinky: Zoya - Opal
Flakies on pointer: Finger Paints - Flecked
Flakies on ring: Finger Paints - Motley

Here it is with Essie - Matte About You:

Here is 3 coats of Diane by itself:

Anyone else hate the new blogger?

Prom Nails

I'm calling these "prom nails" because I wore the base color to my Junior Prom 5 years ago. It matched my dress!

The picture is different because I was in the car on an 8 hour drive to Akron. Sorry it's not as good as my others!

Base: Revlon - Limited Edition Bronze Ablaze (2 coats)
Glitter: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength - White Veil (1 coat)


Yay for prom!

Btw, am I the only one that thinks it's strange that inexpensive polishes have limited editions?

Love, Bethany
