ABC Blog Challenge: "E"

We are on the letter E in the Alphabet Challenge.  I picked another Zoya for this one.  This one is Edyta.  It is a really deep green with TONS of gold micro-shimmer.  Unfortunately, I did not have natural light for this one.  I feel that this color is pretty unique and I don't know of another polish that is like it.

Just check out the bottle and the gold shimmery goodness!!

ABC Challenge: "D"

For the last letter of the week we have "D".  This first week has been a blast!  It is helping me pick out polishes I wouldn't normally wear and I love that!  For this one, I decided to go with OPI Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI on this one. It is a purple polish with lovely red shimmer in it.  This is two coats and it just looks amazing in the sun.

This is indoors with flash.

This is outdoors in natural light.  See that pretty red shimmer!!!

(I'm starting to feel a little like Sesame Street!! Today's blog post brought to you by the letter "D"!!!)

ABC Blog Challenge: "C"

Today in the alphabet blog challenge we are at the letter C.  I chose one of my very first Zoya polishes for this one and it is one of my favorites.  It is Caitlin.  It is a lovely dusty purple.  I own several Zoya polishes and they all apply beautifully.  This one is no exception!  I'm still waiting for Zoya to come out with an Amy.

Again, check out what the other fabulous ladies have picked for their letter 'C' polish!

ABC Blog Challenge: "B"

Hello friends!  Today I am posting my B polish in the alphabet challenge.  I knew exactly what I wanted to pick for this one.  If you have followed my blog for a bit, you might guess that I really love Essie nail polishes.      I don't know what it is but I'm a sucker for them!  Every once in a while they aren't easy to apply but this one applies like a dream!  This is such a pretty color! It actually has the slightest bit of silvery shimmer in it but I can really only see it if I hold my fingernail right in front of my face.

This is two coats of Bikini So Teeny which is from the Bikini So Teeny Collection Summer 2012.

Check out what other ladies picked as their B polish!

ABC Blog Challenge: "A"

I have decided to jump on this blog challenge some of my fellow bloggers are doing.  We will be doing 4 letters a week and I am already behind!  I guess you may be seeing me post more than usual but I'm hoping this keeps me motivated in addition to picking polishes I may otherwise not normally pick.  You can find out more info about the challenge over at Gosia's blog Life in Color.

For the letter "A" I chose Absolutely Shore by Essie.  I love this color but it is a PITA to apply.  It is an extremely pale sea foam green. In this picture is three coats.  I probably should have done one more.  I wish I would have had a little more time to work with this one to make it look nicer but I wanted to get started so I guess here's to not always having the nicest mani!

See you soon with my letter "B" pick!

Try It On Tuesday: Morning Star

Hello there!  For this edition of Try It On Tuesday I have a Sinful Colors nail polish called Morning Star.  I think this was from a collection in spring but I'm really not sure.  I know sometimes SC (Sinful Colors) re-promotes their colors so this could have even been called something else at one point.  Sorry I just don't have the details.  That's what I get for leaving this as an untried I guess!!!  This color sort of reminds me of SC Cinderella but it is more of a periwinkle.  It was a little difficult to photograph to get color accurate.  It does lean more purple than the pictures show.

This is with Spoiled Pet My Peacock on top.  This glitter is hard to apply in my opinion.  It goes on very sparse.  It might work better if it was more "dabbed" on.

Overall I like this color.  I challenge you to put on a polish that you own but have yet to use.  If you do, feel free to share by posting to my Facebook page.  

I hope everyone is staying cool in this heat.  It's supposed to be extremely hot and humid today in Wisconsin!  Thank goodness for central air!
