REQUESTED: swatch and review: China Glaze Dorothy Who?

China Glazes Dorothy who?

China Glazes Dorothy Who? ($8.00 for 0.5 fl oz.) is a blue and silver glitter in a blue jelly base. Its is extremly pretty and gets you lots of compliments. This polish came out with the wizard of ooh ahz collection and the returns collection. I've heard that this is hard to find and alot of people search for it, but I personally can get alot of them, maybe its just where I shop or the fact I live in Canada, who knows. This polish is for someone who wants make a statement with their nails, or for those who love sparkly nail polishes. This one gets peoples attention theres no doubt about it.

The application of this polish was not like other china glaze polishes, and I was a little dissapointed. The consistancy was just to thin and when you put it on it would run to the outside of your nail. Maybe I just got a little to much on the nail, but I did have some issues with that. Another issue is that this polish needs about three to four coats to cover so that your nail line doesnt show when you hold it up to the light. Personally that doesnt bother me so I only did two coats but others might have problems with that.

The wear is fine, I could last about 5 days on my real nails with topcoat and basecoat. I think the glitter helps it stay put as well. The polish is really really thin, and I didnt experiance any bubbling. I love this color. Its a glitter so its on the harder side to take off.

NOTD: with a guest: my mom!!

I have been swatching and taking pictures alot, so I havent had many NOTD's, my mom however has been playing around with some of her new nail things and came up with this! She says it reminds her of a winter wonderland icicle. She used her dual system forms and put acrylic and mylar flakes into her nails to make this design. On one hand she added a ring, with some blue beads on it. Thoughts?

Let me know if you want to know how to achieve this look!

Stay beautiful,

Review and Swatch: China Glaze Turned up Turquoise (neon)

China Glaze's turned up turquoise (neon)

China Glaze turned up turquoise (neon) ($8.00 for 0.5 fl oz.) is a neon green (not even close to the pictures and swatchs), its much much darker then the photos and much brighter as its a neon. It is extremly hard to photograph as are most neons, I havent even seen one swatch that shows the color to be acurate. If you have this polish close to you and can see it in person, it is very close to the bottle color. This color dries matte, but with a hint of shine. It dries fast, and you can tell when it gets matte its dry.

This color isnt something I would wear by itself, it would have to have some kind of nail art along with it. But some may like this color enough to just wear it. Takes two coats to make it perfect, one coat was still just a little sheer for me.

It terms of wear on my nails (fake), with topcoat and basecoat it lasted about a week and a half. Being matte made it last that little extra time. The consistancy is thin enough to apply to your nails. I didnt experiance any bubbling with this and as I have said before I love China Glazes brushes, as they are just small enough. Makes my skin look fine, and I think it would look great on warm skin too.
