China Glaze- Blonde Bombshell

Happy Sunday! The weather is crazy here and I'm loving every second of it.  It's in the 60s in mid January! I wish that it would stay this way all winter.  I always say that it is only allowed to snow one day per year! ;P Anyway, here I am again to introduce you to one of my all time favorite polishes, the ultimate party polish, China Glaze- Blonde Bombshell.

Believe it or not, this is a one coater! I used two coats for the photos below.  Application was very easy and effortless.  It applies evenly on the first coat.  The polish is very forgiving, especially for being a glitter polish.  Removal is really not bad, and very easy for a glitter polish.  Onto the pictures below.  All pictures show two coats of polish+ 1 topcoat of seche vite.

Mariah Carey Liquid Sand Swatches

The newest nail polish trend is said to be liquid sand, which is gritty glitter with a matte finish.  Actually, this liquid sand finish is so new, that I'm not sure it has reached "trend" status yet... The polish is meant to be gritty, and should be worn without a top coat.  When I saw that the newest liquid sand polishes from the Mariah Carey collection were available in a package with 4 mini bottles, I knew that I had to have them!

I have only used Can't Let Go, and Get Your Number so far.  The finish is definitely as described.  These polishes dry with a lot of texture.  The formulas in both polishes were amazing and super easy to apply.  You definitely need 3 coats to see the build up of the sunken glitter and other objects.  Drying time was really fast, faster than any of the cremes that I have tried.  As I'm sure you can imagine, getting these polishes off was quite an ordeal.  Can't Let Go was about the same as any other glitter polish.  Get Your Number was a NIGHTMARE.  Definitely soak your fingers in nail polish remover for at least 30 seconds.  Anyway, onto the pictures! I used 3 coats of polish in each picture.

Essie Swatches

I'm back and I have lots to show you all! Below are some swatches of my recent Essie purchases.  I used seche vite as a topcoat on all of the polishes:

Essie- Smooth Sailing.

I had been drooling over this polish forever! The color is a lot darker than it looks in the bottle.  It is a dark periwinkle with a very hidden shimmer.  The formula was AMAZING! It's definitely a one-coater, I used 2 coats in the pictures below+ 1 coat seche vite top coat.
