China Glaze - Fly

This is my manicure with China Glaze's Fly, from the 2009 Kicks collection. I really love this collection and even though I got into polish after it came out, I was able to track all 12 of them down pretty easy.

Fly is a purple with microshimmer. It basically looks like a fuchsia with a dash of purple thrown in. I expected this to be more purple from other photos I've seen :P but what can ya do? It is pretty but not what I had hoped. This is two coats on my shorty short nails.

Any colors you have gotten lately that are not exactly what you counted on them being?

China Glaze Style Wars

Today I thought I would show you a vibrant orange jelly to go along with our bright sunshiney weather as of late. It's freaking hot out here! Style Wars is from China Glaze's Kicks Collection of Summer 2009, full of bright shades that really pop. I almost have the full set, I just ordered a few more from Victoria's Nail Supply.

This is three coats of pure jelly goodness. A rather opaque jelly but I wouldn't call it a crème, maybe a jelly crème. The perfect mix of the two finishes. This is a reddish orange but not too red, very flattering on my olive complexion I think. I also have a coat of China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat on to make it super shiny.

Have a great weekend sugar pies!
