A pretty khaki shade with shimmer! This is 3 coats. But it is opaque at two. I'm just bad at painting. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
This one is a pink crackle! YEY! Crackle is not over. I still rock it. I messed up my previous mani with sheet marks. So, I put crackle over it. Yey a new mani. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
This is lovely. The formula is watery, but I love it. This is 3 coats. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Here is some green ocean flaky swatch. This is two coats of fun. I can't wait to layer this with all my other colors. Black, Grey, Blues, PINK, who knows! Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
OPI rosy future. ummm. I thought it would be cool because the bottle looked bluish iridescent like. I don't have many iridescent/duochromy pinks. But this one is really sheer. The formula is really watery, as well. This is still sheer at 3 coats. It pooled a lot in my cuticles too…
This is two coats.Formula is nice. it dries pretty fast as well. Is this pink or lavender. I dunno. I guess it's lavender with a strong lean towards pink. I see pink...purplepink. I think it is pink. Ahaha . I will catalog it as purplish pink. Like those blurples that are hard to c…
This one is four coats. I dunno why but it is streaky. You can see streaks in the polish so I did an extra coat. It was opaque at two to three coats but it was very uneven. That bothered me. So, I did four coats. It's a cute color. HELLO it's pink. The brush is wide. It's o…
Ok, this is a glitter fail. I tried to do a gradient glitter mani but the glitter was too spread out. I think revlon sparkling is kind of hard glitter to work with. It needs to be more glitter and less clear. If that makes any sense. this is absolute pink, and revlon sparkling put toget…
A light pink that is not sheer. woo. This is two coats to make opaque. Formula and application were no problem. yey. So cute. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
This is highly pigmented. The formula was a little thick but not too bad. It can be opaque at one, but this is two coats. I thought it would be a brighter pink like the bottle, but it's more muted. Maybe I shall try it over white. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty…
my NOTD. So neony. This is two coats without white underneath. Formula was a little patchy on the first coat but it evened out on the second. This is with topcoat as it dries matte. Ack you can see my guitar calluses. Oh well. My blog is not for perfection. hehe. Just for my own entertain…
This is three coats. It's a cute idea...pink and glitter. It's hard to get the polish where you want it to go. But I like it. The formula is one where you have to wait for each layer to dry and start building up.... or else it will be gloopy. I made mine gloopy, because I don…
OK now I've officially figured out the difference between frost and foil. Foils don't have brush strokes. Frost have brush strokes and look sort of metallic...but are not because they have brush strokes. lol Anyway here is a pretty light pink frost. This is two coats. H…
Sinful Colors You Just Wait. ....well I was waiting for it to turn pink. It's sheer at one coat. This is three coats. It is definitely more light greenish.... or a color I can't describe than my favorite color pink. The pics make it look more pink than it really is. It's more…
Mostly pinks except this moon candy one. I like how the base colors are one coaters... Good for stamping. Hehe I should get more but I'm poor now. I also like I stock up on clears for Frankens.
Here is another neon I bought. I really like it. It's almost jelly but it dries semi matte. This is 3 coats with topcoat. It's hard to photograph how purple this is though. *There's a bubble woops. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
