NOTD: China Glaze - Sexy in the City

Excuse my dry hand eek! i always wash my hands after removing old polish to get rid of the nail polish removers from my skin and i forgot to lotion up before taking this pic. This polish looks blue in the bottle and in the pic above but once you put it on your nails it has a more blue-green tone to it. I actually had to apply 3 coats to get this coverage, but it may have been the way i was painting my nails, i like to do light strokes and add coats if necessary. But it when on very smoothly and dired fast so no complaints.

NOTD: China Glaze - Reggae to Riches

Hello everyone!

First i have to say please ignore my dry hands, i wash my hands whenever i do my nails and i only lotion when my nails are dry. I forgot to lotion before i took this pic though :p

 

I love this color, it's a purplish pink and you can't really tell in tihe pic but it is super shiny and glossy. It has slight blue undertones to it and i think it would compliment just about anyone.

 

We are in the middle of a blizzard, i had off today and i basically wasted the day sleeping. Here's a quick pic of what it looked like outside this afternoon:

My Balcony below:

Thank god i bought a crapload of coldcut turkey and american cheese to make sandwiches just in case we got stuck inside. It's supposed to keep snowing until 6am, my area is supposed to get a foot (12 inches) of snow. I think we have about 6 inches so far. Hopefully thats it because i hate shovelling snow -_-

China Glaze - Sexy in the City

Quick Nail look with my new China Glaze polish. I love this shade! And i decided to do a Zebra nail a la Necole Bitchie style (she is a blogger, but i lover her tweets) follow her here. She did the zebra look first so i have to give her credit

 

This is my first time doing a zebra print on my nails, i think i did a good job if i say so myself :).

China Glaze Nail polish Haul, plus MAC Haul swatches

Obviously i have lost my marbles and just gone retail therapy crazy. Alot of it is due to stress at work and my needing a stress relief which of course lead to my shopping like no one's business. I have to say though, the damage from this nail polish haul is not as bad as one would think, i got all these polishes for about $48 which is a great deal (or so i tell myself). Also i have to credit 2 onsugar lovelies: CCee and Retail_therapy for their nail polish posts and swatches on China Glaze which caused me to want damn near every color that they produce. Their posts are great visual references so thanks ladies!

 

9 China Glaze polishes total + one from some random brand. ok so not like a crazy amount of polish but its not a small haul by any means!

 

Summer Rain, Moonlight, Spontaneous, Reggae to Riches

 

Caribbean Tempation, Rich & Famous, Turned Up Turqouise, Sexy in the City, For Audrey, Stripe Rite - Black

And here are the swatches from my MAC haul (here) I wanted to show them in natural light but of course my crappy cam doesnt catch the true beauty of the colors.

Paintpot - Indianwood, a lovely bronzy/neutral color

 

Sumptous Olive

 

Humid

 

Electric Eel

 

Deep Truth (i literally dabbed my finger one time on it so the color is faint on my finger)

 

I will do some swatches of the nail polish for you guys a little later in the week. I am going to spend the weekend playing with all my new products, and i actually have a few more items to post but i am kinda embarassed at all the stuff i bought so i am going to a seperate haul post as those items alittle later.

Ta Ta for now.
