Steel The Show & Jewels For Your Highness

Today I am showing you two of my new colors at once. Spoiled - Steel The Show & Wet 'n Wild Coloricon - Jewels For Your Highness. I recently purchased these at CVS & Right Aid. (love me some drugstore brands - lol)






Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-Spoiled - Steel The Show
-Wet 'n Wild Coloricon - Jewels For Your Highness
-Out The Door - TopCoat

I tried to capture the awesome glitter that is JFYH so I hope you like it. I think that these two colors actually look really good together and it feels just like a fun mani that I could wear out for a night on the town.

Do you own any of these Wet 'n Wild glitters? What about the China Glaze ones?

Swatch: Essie - Coat Azure

Weren't those Bonita's fun? (There is a yellow in the collection that I have yet to swatch but I just couldn't keep to do it right now, not feeling the yellow at all. I will get to it eventually.) Anyway, when I bought those at Ross, I also picked up two bottles of Essie Coat Azure, I kept one and gave one to my friend Amanda. I originally wore these plain but decided to add an accent nail, unfortunately, I got a little happy with my topcoat and smeared it up (i'll show you but its not pretty. lol)







Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-Essie - Coat Azure
-Nicole by OPI - Midnight Maddness
-Out The Door - Topcoat

See what I mean about the smearing? I was rushing though and didn't really have time to clean it up, which wasn't too big of a deal because from a far you couldn't tell; but the picture tells no lies. Anyway, the final picture is a snapshot of the fabric of one of my new summer maxi dresses. I wore the nails with the dress and felt like it was super cute.

Maxi dresses are one of my favorite trends, what is one of yours?

Swatch: Bonita - Teal

Today I am wearing the teal color from my Bonita set. This is probably one of my top favorite colors from the collection, for two reasons, 1) It's teal 2) It's creme!




Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-Bonita - Teal
-Out The Door - TopCoat

As I mentioned previously, this is a creme polish and was almost completely opaque in one coat although I have two coats on here. Also, there is a slight shimmer in the polish, just barely noticable in person, but I think that is what is causing some of the weird flash in the photos.
Teal is absolutely my favorite color of the season, what is yours?

Swatch: Bonita - Green

Today I am showing you the green from the Bonita collection. This is NOT a color I would normally wear and it probably won't get worn again as a plain polish. This color reminds of the term "ecto-cooler" lol.





Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-Bonita - Green
-Out The Door TopCoat

I needed 3 coats of polish for complete coverage; 2 coats was just a little too streaky for me. I added some flowers for an accent nail. These are actually nail stickers that a friend had left over and gave me so I thought why no use them. Similar look to stamping, but much easier and less time consuming :)

Do you ladies ever use nail stickers like these?

Swatch: Bonita - Orange

Today I am swatching the "Orange" from my set. The only reason I am calling it "orange" in quotes is that the photos look pretty orange but in natural light it is much more of  neon red-orange-pink (I know you all know exactly what I'm talking about from my super clear description - lol)





Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-Bonita - Orange
-Out The Door - TopCoat

This is still fun and bright for summer, I just wish the pictures more accurately represented the color of the polish.

Also, I recently hit 150 followers, thank you all for reading :) I feel a giveaway coming on when we hit 200 ;-)

And one last photo from my wedding that goes with this polish; hehe.
