Icing True Beauty

Army greens don't look great against my skin tone, but for some reason, they always end up in my stash.  Case and point, Icing True Beauty.  I saw it, and had to have it.  I wish I had my Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War to compare it to.

This color is a definite must have for all army green fans.  The formula is a little thick, but it applies nicely and is opaque in one coat if you apply it right.  Of course I didn't, so this is two coats.

OPI Royal Rajah Ruby

This one comes from OPI's 2008 spring collection.  It's a red shimmer in a dark brown base.  It has a lit from within look, but because the base is dark brown and not black, it almost has a dustier look to it.

This shade was opaque in two coats, but I used three to even it up.  Three seems to be the magic number for me. I've been wearing this for a couple of days, so excuse the tip wear.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has been having loads of fun this weekend.  I've done enough partying this weekend so I'll be staying in studying and maybe watch a few scary movies with my roomies.

So of course, I had to have Halloween themed nails to help me celebrate.  Last year I wore China Glaze's Spellbound, but this year I busted out the "Crack Polish."  I bought this a year and a half ago and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear it.  This is Crack polish in black over Wet n Wild Sunny Side Up.

China Glaze Something Sweet

It's been a while since I've posted.  Between moving back to DC and starting up school again, life has been hectic and has left little time for blogging.  Thank you to all of my followers.  All 105 of you!  I never thought I'd get that many so soon.  I plan on having a giveaway before the end of the year.  I've been collecting some goodies.


This is my mani of a few days ago in support of breast cancer awareness month.  China Glaze's Something Sweet is a part of the Up and Away Spring 2010 collection.  I love my unique polishes, but there's something about a pale opaque pink that I love.  As with a lot of pastels, this color required about 4 coats to get rid of all streaks, bald spots, and unevenness.
