Sinful Colors Agaci

I don't know what an Acagi is? Do you? I do know that it is an awesome glitter from Sinful Colors, that you can unfortunately as far as I know only find on Cherry Culture. That being said, I love it! It's definitely a unique glittery top coat.

Agaci is a sheer gray base with a silver-gray iridescent glitter.

This color would be a tad bit more awesome if it was a gray jelly with this glitter, but sadly it's not. That's not to say it's not great. To me this is unique.This is my favorite kind of layering polish. It adds that subtle bit of bling that makes a polish extra special without going overboard. I think this one would look great over any color. :)

Happy Thursday!

Pink Wednesday: China Glaze Pink Voltage

It's another one of those days, where I don't have much to say. It's hot and humid outside, so I'm tired and cranky. :P I'll let this pink speak for itself.

China Glaze Pink Voltage
Pink Voltage is a neon highlighter pink with a blue/violet shimmer.

Bright, sunglasses needed, and in your face type of shade. I like it. Like most neons, this dries semi-matte. I'm thinking shades like this will look awesome underneath black crackle polishes! It's not the most original of colors, but it's nice.

That's it for today! I feel like I sound a bit monotone, which is ridiculous, because you can't hear my voice through a blog. I think the heat is getting to me. :P

Happy Pink Wednesday!

Finger Paints Vermillion $ Painting

When I posted my orange botte spam, this Finger Paints color got a bit of attention. I spotted this on in the Finger Paints core line at Sally's. I saw this color and it intrigued me, for various reasons, but gold shimmer being one of them of course!

Vermillion $ Painting
Vermillion $ Painting is a vibrant orange-red with an intense gold shimmer.

This color looks like lava. It's hot! I don't have much else to say about it. You know why I like this, it's a warm color with gold shimmer. I don't want to continue to repeat myself! :P

Happy Tuesday

Sinful Colors Unicorn

What is the color I cover the least on the blog? Yellow. Yellow is probably the color I have had the ultimate difficulty with. I have issues with green, but yellow is a completely different story. It's hard for me to find a yellow that doesn't make me think of eye crusties you get in the morning or pee. I also have trouble finding a yellow to go with my skin tone. I think I'm too pale for yellow..? Maybe not, I think I found a yellow that works for me, and that I love!

Sinful Colors Unicorn
Unicorn is a pastel lemon creme.

I don't know why this one works for me versus other yellows, but it does. I can assume it's because it's not as in your face as some yellows can be. It's a very nice soft shade. However, it does have the curse of all yellow polishes. The formula is thin and patchy. This took 4 coats to get full coverage, and it probably could of used more. To be honest, this is probably one of the most difficult polishes I've ever worked with. I really do love this yellow on me, so to finally a find a color like this that works, it's worth the extra effort. I know for others this would be a "no way jose!" thing. I totally understand that, but if you're still on a search for just the right yellow, this one may work out for you too.

Happy Monday!
