Catherine Arley 673
Hi kids :) Quick swatch today, this is Catherine Arley 673, a violet holographic lacquer. The brand is Turkish and I got this in a swap a few months ago I believe. I'm not super in love with this but it's nice. I prefer the lilac colored OPI DS Original which is similar but a bit more holo and lighter. This is two coats.
Have a great one y'all!

Deborah Lippman Sarah Smile & CND Gold Sparkle
This is a polish I fell head over heels in love with. It wasn't love at first sight, but after I had her on my nails, Sarah Smile by Deborah Lippmann had me swooning with delight. Deb created this with Sarah Jessica Parker because she wanted something that wasn't too pink and wasn't too white. It goes on sheer, but y'all know me, I built it up to opacity in four-ish coats. I freaking adore how this looks with my skin tone! It did bubble a bit, but oh well. It wore like IRON too, no chips for a week!
After the third day, I decided to spice it up a little with two layers of CND effects Gold Sparkle (which is more of a gold flake). This is seriously a ga ga gorgeous combo, one of my very favorite manicures EVER!! Very simple but elegant and sexy!
What do you think my lovelies?

Cult Nails My Kind of Cool Aid - Take Two
This is my second blog post about this polish, my first post had horrendous photos of this beautiful polish, so I'm calling a do-over.
Cult Nails My Kind of Cool Aid is a lavender grey creamy polish with subtle shimmer. I adore this shade, it's pretty unique although a little similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge's Insouciant that came out early this year. It's opaque and perfect in two coats.
I decided to put a coat of Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure over it and it was AWESOME. Love this combo! The lamp light turns the purple more vivid than the shots above, haha.
I love Cult Nails, the owner is Maria from R3Daily in case you are new to the scene. She is a good friend and I finally get to meet her this year at CosmoProf in Las Vegas! Can't wait :) Her and a bunch of other blogging friends and I are all getting together to nosh and gab sometime during the week of the convention. Super excited and can't wait!
