China Glaze Lemon Fizz

Lemon Fizz is from China Glaze's Up and Away collection for Spring 2010.  It's a pretty pale yellow.  Although pale, it's stark (which I love).  It applied pretty nicely, especially for a yellow.  In recent weeks I've seen Lemon Fizz in the clearance section at Sally Beauty since it's been taken out of the main display to make room for other colors.

This is 3 coats.

Lynnderella Gotta Love Brains over Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Dangerous

Warning: Lots of pictures ahead.

Dangerous is nice a medium gray creme.  The name with the color makes me think of a shark.  The formula on this was nice.  I only needed 1 coat, but I imagine if my nails were longer I'd need 2.

1 coat.









Next I layered 2 coats of Gotta Love Brains over Dangerous.  Gotta Love Brains has lots of large, medium and small hex shape and square glitters that are pink, blue or silver, as well as holo and silver bar glitter.  All of this is in a milky gray base that also has a very slight pink shimmer in it.  That sounds intense lol,  Anyways, pictures!

OPI DS Shimmer over China Glaze Snow

I've been lemming Glitter Gal's Light as a Feather for a while now, so I decided to see if I could tame it by layering Shimmer over Snow.  I've worn Snow before, and I have to say, it's probably my favorite white.  It goes on in 2 coats and levels itself out.

I absolutely love this combination and I wish my pictures could do it more justice.  The white base makes it difficult to capture the holo, but it's definitely there.  The Shimmer is thin and see through enough that it doesn't over power the white and make it look silver.

Has anyone else tried this combination?

2 coats Snow, 1 coat Shimmer

Maybelline Chic Chocolate

Chic Chocolate is from Maybelline's 2010 Fashion Week collection.  It's a gorgeous blackened red shimmer.  It tends to look black in minimal lighting.  Application would have been nice, but the brush was a bit lopsided and a little stiff.  I've got to stop leaving things untried for more than a year lol.

This is 2 coats.
