China Glaze and Dance Legend Top Prismatic

Ah, I've finally got a summer color on the blog before the season ends! Shell-o by China Glaze is from the Summer 2013 Sunsational collection. It's a bright neon pink that took about four layers to build up but was well worth the dry time! The formula was quite thin and a tad on the streaky side which required extra careful application...

Enchanted Polish Afternoon Delight

My grandpa recently past away and like many polish-holics, I occupied myself with polish. I needed something I could wear to the funeral and this was the mani I ended up with. From my previous posts it's evident I rarely ever wear nude/ beige colors so these are what I consider my conservative nails!  Enchanted Polish Afternoon Delight...

Holy Batman, it's been a while! Zoya Veruschka is a gorgeous deep shimmery green with a velvet-matte finish. In it's original state the polish is really nice. But when you add a top coat, wow! I definitely preferred the top coated version but both versions look beautiful! The Zoya I'm using is from the original release of the Matte Velvet...

Jade Holographic Gradient

Score! So here are Jade polishes Falling Star and Mirage and on the accent finger is A-England Camelot and Ninja Polish Caribbean Reef: (Artificial...

A-england Camelot with Holo Stamping

A-england's Camelot is one of my favourite blacks ever! I think a good black is essential for any nail polish owner whether it's to wear alone, as a base to a glitter polish or for some free handed nail art, you can't go wrong with black! I've found myself reaching for this polish quite often. I actually applied 2 coats because I like...

Thankfully, Charlene does have a number of other gorgeous polishes you can purchase. She is located in Hong Kong and has very reasonable international shipping rates! Snitches...
