Wanna walk through Strawberry Fields with me?

Good evening, my darling readers.  I must thank you all again for your patience with me.  We've had another  weather change that my body isn't coping well with.  I decided the heck with it and I'm going to try to at least do a few things I like doing to get my mind busy at least.  :0)

Today, I have a polish my hubby bought for me.  He is of the opinion that I have enough polish, but we can't ever have enough polish, can we?  ;<)  This one is China Glaze's Strawberry Fields.  It was in the display with the Breast Cancer Awareness stuff when I picked it up and I mistakenly thought it was one of that collection, but quickly realized my mistake once I got home and looked it up to see which polishes were included in that collection for this year and last.  I do like this color though, it isn't too pale and it isn't too dark.  It's more of a hot pink with a shimmer.  If it has shimmer or glitter, then it has my name ALL over it. *giggle*

Lately, I've been using a new base coat, Beauty Secret's Ridge Filler, because I've noticed several of my nails have developed ridges recently.  As I am no where to being a professional nail tech, I have absolutely no idea what causes ridges or why I've suddenly developed them, but I know I don't like them.  Some are just barely noticeable while others are quite ridged.  For this mani, I used 2 coats of the ridge filler, 2 coats of Strawberry Fields, and 1 coat Out the Door, the formula on this polish is very nice and went on without any difficulties.

Without further ado, for your viewing pleasure, the photo's:

Isn't she a pretty pink?

If you look just right, you might be able to see a hint of shimmer here.

The shimmer decided to be shy and hid from my camera in this shot.

I can see myself using this polish quite often in the future.  Do you have this polish and if so, do you like it?  If not, would you consider buying it?

As always, thank you for spending a few minutes with me this evening and I hope you come again soon!  Huggles!

Orange You Glad...It's almost Halloween!

Good evening my darling readers.  I hope you all have had a terrific Tuesday.  The weather was beautiful today, until the weather man mentioned that *S* word that ends in now, for the weekend.  If it does, it'll be a bit early as we don't get it until right around Thanksgiving usually.

Today, for your viewing pleasure, I have Spoiled-Orange You Glad.  It's a beautiful orange and cheered me up as soon as I had it on.  There is a very slight gold shimmer that you can see both in the bottle and on the nail.  If you don't like the prowide brush, then you may not like this one as it has the wide, paddle like brush.  I happen to like them, but then I'm not hard to please when it comes to the brush, as long as it goes on my nails nicely.  :0)  The application was nice and smooth and it dried nicely without the aid of a fast drying topcoat, even though I did choose to use one, just for the extra shine.

Without further ado, here is Orange You Glad.

I  used 3 coats and I could still see a bit of visible nail line.

1 coat each of Revlon base coat and Out The Door topcoat.

Isn't she a pretty color for Halloween?  This photo is as close to true color as I could get.

This is another polish I bought from Wishes of a Blue-Eyed Girl blog sale, which is still going on, just click on her Blog Sale page to see what she has left.

Do you have any Spoiled polishes and if so, what is your favorite?

Thank you for spending a small part of your Tuesday with me.  I hope you have a wonderful evening!  Huggles!

A Little Spicy 11 October 2012

Good morning, my darling readers! I hope it's warmer where you are than it is where I am. It's a breezy 38 degrees F out there. Brrrrr. Winter is a coming, ladies (and gentlemen, if you are reading too).

Today I have an old school Revlon polish for your swatch viewing pleasure. It is from the Crystalline Line and is called Iced Spice. I'm not exactly sure how long I've had this, but I know it's been longer than 6 1/2 years because I got it before we moved into where we currently live. I'm also not quite sure if I got it from an auction I won on Ebay (there were 45 polishes I won for a whole whopping $3.62 plus $3.95 shipping, what a steal of a deal, right?) about a year before we bought our current home or if I had it before then.

In the bottle, this looks like a very light colored cinnamon to me, but I've seen it also described as a coral color.

Does this look like light cinnamon or coral to you?

Even though it is an old polish, I had no problem at all with application. I still had a slight visble nail line after 3 thin coats. I probably won't wear this one very often as I think it makes me look paler than I actually am.

I have two more polishes in the Crystalline Line I'll be bringing to you in the near future so if you like this one, be on the look out for the next two.

Have a wonderful Thursday, darlings!
