Throw Back Thursday: MAC Peppermint Patti

For Throw Back Thursday, I have MAC Peppermint Patti.  It came out sometime in 2009 and promptly sold out.  Subsequently, the mint craze followed.

Now, it's not exactly the most unique polish out there, but it makes me feel a little nostalgic lol.

The application was just a hot streaky mess.  The formula on this is not the greatest, but I managed.

This is 3 coats.

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.
