China Glaze Ingrid & Stamping

Hi there,


Today I'm bringing you China Glaze's Ingrid. Ingrid is a creamy brown, with gold shimmers, which is noticeable in certain light. I don't normally go for browns, however I found this suited my complexion, and made my fingers look professional. Am I making any sense? :o| Formula & the application was good- find it's hit and miss sometimes with China Glaze.


I was going out on Saturday, and thought I allowed myself enough time (an hour) and thought my mani would dry on time, so used Miss Sporty Glossy Tech top coat. Boy was I wrong!!! I still managed to dent my mani, and kept staring at it all evening. Note to self: "Quick dry top coats only on nights out!"


So I covered it up, as soon as I got in with some stamping.

I stamped with a random fauxnad plate. What do you guys think?


I hope you all enjoy and hopefully see you again soon.

My Franken- Holo Bomb

Hi there,


Today I'm bringing you my franken- Holo Bomb. For those who don't know what a franken polish is- it's a polish which one creates themselves. I've been lusting after OPI's DS Glamour, and wanted to see if I could create this. Fat chance! DS Glamour is a polish that is of it's own. Very unique, I would love to know a possible dupe for this polish. 


Anyways, here's what I've created. For the base colour I used China Glaze's First Mate, and added Miss Sporty Glossy Tech's Top coat, to see if this dulled the holo effect, but it didn't- luckily. I'm quite proud of my creation. :o)


Let me guys know what you think. Would like some feedback.

China Glaze First Mate

Hi there,


Today I'm bringing you China Glaze's First Mate. This came out in Spring 2011, in the Anchors Away collection. The application of this polish is amazing. I managed to get opacity with one coat. 

China Glaze First Mate: 1 coat

My camera didn't pick up the colour correctly on my index and middle finger. The colour is more accurate on my ring finger. I didn't add a top coat to this as the finish is quite glossy. 


I hope you all enjoy and hopefully see you again soon.

China Glaze Innocence

Hi there,

Today I'm bringing you China Glaze's Innocence. Innocence is a gorgeous milky pink. It's quiet sheer, so application was quiet patchy. I tried to correct the streakiness and ended up applying 3 coats. So to get even coverage and for it to look half decent, the polish was totally opaque, and the polishes real beauty did not show. This would be a great polish for french tip, if only the application was a bit easier. I'm gonna give it a go soon.

Hope you guys enjoy and see you again soon.
