Rescue Beauty Lounge Plie

I'm not normally into neutrals, but Plie is absolutely gorgeous and I'm in love.  It looks so elegant and fits with my skin tone perfectly.  Most others are too gray or brown.

Application was okay.  It's not opaque in one coat like other Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes I've come in contact with, but it went on nicely.

So what are some of your favorite neutrals?

This is 3 coats (could have gotten away with 2).

Essie Power Clutch and Different Dimension 50 Shades

Today I decided to do a little layering.  First I used Essie Power Clutch.  It's a dark gray creme and it's gorgeous.  Application was great though I'm not a huge fan of Essie's brush.

This is 2 coats.




Then I layered 50 Shades from Different Dimension.  Different shades is full of glitter.  There's holo hex shaped glitter of a few different sizes, some shredded black and silver glitter, and some black glitter.  It's all in a clear gray base with shimmer.  The shimmer kind of reminds me of the kind that's in Lynderella Connect the Dots.

Zoya Indigo

Today I have on Zoya Indigo.  I bought this about 4 years ago and I'm just now getting around to it.  Don't judge me.

Indigo is from the Downtown collection for Fall 2007.  It's a deep dark blue shimmer with tiny holo sparkles.  Unfortunately the little sparkles don't quite show on the nail much, which is disappointing, but it's still a pretty color.

I tried a different top coat to avoid shrinkage.  This time it was Revlon's top coat.  No shrinkage, but ended up with sheet marks even though I thought it was dry.  Next time I'll do a coat of Revlon and then a coat of Seche Vite or Poshe.  I'm determined to make Zoya work for me.  They have some AMAZING colors.

Application was nice.  No complaints.

This is 2 coats.




Blurry to show some of the sparkle.  Kind of failed lol.

Designer Piggies: Pacman

Today I tried out these cute water nail decals from Designer Piggies in the Pacman design.

Per the instructions I painted my nails with white and cut the decals to fit my nails.  After my polish dried, I wet the back of the decals, slide them off and placed them on my nails.  The decals come off the backing really easily so you don't tear them when you slide them off.

The inner nerd in me loves this design and I've gotten tons of complements on them already.

These do have a bit of a learning curve.  I stretched mine on my nail a bit which made it look like I have cracks in the design.  They aren't really visible, but of course macro makes it look more obvious.

All in all I like these and plan on purchasing a Halloween set.

You can find these and other designs here.
