OPI Can't Find My Czechbook

     Today, I am going to show you Can't Find My Czechbook from OPI's Euro Central collection. Can't Find My Czechbook is a teal creme polish that I just love.

Swatches:
Indoor no flash. 

Indoor with flash. 

Outdoor in sunlight. 

Outdoor in shade. 

     All pictures are with two coats of Can't Find My Czechbook and a layer of topcoat. This polish is thin but applies to full opacity in two coats. Now normally I am not a huge fan of OPI creme polishes...I love OPI but their cremes (specially the light ones) are streaky and thin and you have to apply 4 or more layers to reach opacity...this is nothing like the other thin streaky OPI creme polishes I have. Which makes it even better. It's such a pretty blue, I just love it. Well that's all I  have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

Nail-Venturous Floam Swatch and Review

     Today I am very pleased to be able to show you Floam by Nail-venturous. This polish has been a long time lemming for me and was my first nail polish crush. I am so super happy that this beauty is now in my collection. Floam is mix of green, yellow, and teal micro hexagon, matte glitter in a clear base. And can I just say before I show you this polish that it's everything I hoped it would be and more. I adored this polish before I owned it and now...well now I am full on in love with it. But enough blathering. Here's Floam.

Swatch:

Indoor no flash. 

Outdoor...the sun is hiding again today. 

The bottle:
                        Indoor with flash.         Indoor no flash.              Outdoor. 

Closeups:
Closeup indoor no flash. 

Closeup outdoor. 

      All pictures are with three coats of Floam and a layer of topcoat. It's a thick formula but it didn't cause any application issues. That said make sure you let each layer of Floam dry fully before applying the next layer. Or you will have matte glitter migration. How much do you love Floam? Because I love it to the moon and back. I couldn't be happier that after almost two years of trying to get a hold of a bottle I was able to out bid someone on eBay and for only $13. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this manicure and this polish. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
XOXO

China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara Swatch And Review

     I am still not feeling very well but I decided I would at least get a swatch up for you guys. So, here is Lorelei's Tiara from the China Glaze Eye Candy collection. Lorelei's Tiara is a silver and teal glitter in a clear base. The silver is micro glitter and the teal is medium sized teal glitter. This polish will surely leave your inner Valkyrie in a trance because it's just that sparkly.

The bottle:

China Glaze Adore Swatch And Review

     Today, I have a China Glaze Adore from the Romantique collection to show you guys. Adore is a metallic teal polish that I have wanted for a while  but just recently acquired. I love blue polishes. Anyway without further ado here's the polish.

The Bottle:
Indoor with flash.

Indoor no flash. 

Outdoor.

Swatches:
Indoor with flash.

Indoor no flash.

Outdoor in shade. 

Outdoor in sunlight(ish). I think the good outdoor pictures may be on hiatus till spring. :( 

     All pictures are with two coats of Adore and one coat of top coat. The polish applied easily and dried quickly. I absolutely love this polish. My favorite from the Romantique collection. If you don't have it I highly recommend that you go out and get it. I'm pretty sure it will be awesome for stamping nail art in the future too due to it's thick formula. I just ordered some new stamping plates too so look for that in the future. My only advice for use on this polish is to use a ridge filler (or buff your nails) before you use it. As with all Metallic/chrome polishes they show every single nail plate imperfection if you don't buff or use a ridge filler. That's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
