China Glaze Techno Teal


Wow, these Tronica colours are my new loves.



The holo may not be OMG crazy, but it is subtle and beautiful and I can't seem to get enough of them!



Again with my unwilling assistant Pickles. I think part of the reason I love these so much is the ease with which they go on and clean up. Does that make you love a polish too? I know it makes me shy away from glitters...

Happy weekend Possums!

China Glaze Electra Magenta


Oh the pretty! I initially bought a couple of the Tronic colours, but loved them so much I went back for MORE.


They are the easiest polishes to clean up and apply.. they are like magic!


They dry so quickly. I am in love. This is 2 coats of Electra Magenta. See the love?


My unwilling assistant was way not impressed. 


Who am I kidding.. he loves the attention. Pickles says Hola!

China Glaze Peace on Earth


I've been seeing the ChG X-mas collection at nail polish heaven for the last month or so, and have passed on all of them.


Until I started seeing this one pop up on nail blogs. 


I have a huge hate on for frosts and I thought that POE was one until I saw .... nope!


In fact it's a metallic olive. Right up my alley!


Even Chris likes it. In fact he picked it as my manicure. 


2 coats, and it has great coverage. We have no sun here right now, only snow, so this is indoors with natural light.


Well... as much as there is right now.And btw.. that's not tip wear. It's Seche Vite being a big jerk. :/

China Glaze Frostbite


This is the polish that started my descent into polish madness. I'd never heard of let alone used a ChG polish before this.


We didn't have a Sally Beauty Supply in Calgary until a while ago. I was super excited when we got one as I was anticipating all sorts of US only goodies!


That didn't pan out quite like I had hoped, but there was China Glaze Polish!


Back in the olden days when I was a working esthetician, we didn't have this brand up here. It was OPI, Nicole, umm.. and OPI. At least that's all I ever found. This was well over 10 years ago. But now?? YAY!!!


2 coats and ti doesn't even come close to the awesome eyescratching blue colour it truly is in real life. Damn you no sun!! My husband is bonkers for this colour. BONKERS!


I matte-ified it after 2 days of wear and it glowed like anodized aluminum. Absolutely, amazingly gorgeous.  


Inspired by nihrida's post about silly dogs, here's mine, with his raccoon. He is enamoured with Rocky enough that we actually had to get a new one, and switch it out as he *loved* the old one to death. Goofball.

Color Club Revvolution, China Glaze Fairy Dust


I must be in some sort of picture taking hell these days.


No sun, no natural light of any kind and the inability to show off what gorgeous sparkly jewels my nails are.


Ah well. Make the best of it. I found the Color Club at nail polish heaven and practically tore it off the rack.


When I got it home, I was kinda disappointed at the lack of holo, or was it the lack of light showing me the holo?


Regardless, 1 coat of Fairy Dust over 2 coats of Revvolution and I was placated. Now if the sun would just come out...

Have you entered my Giveaway yet? Come on.. you know you wanna...

China Glaze 2nite


I went to Cosmoprof the other day and while they didn't have what I was originally looking for, I found this AWESOME old China Glaze. 


It's no secret I'm a ho for the OPI DS series.. but I didn't think I'd ever find these old ChG's up here! Lighter than DS Glamour, but the holo.. oh the holo!


I am in love. I knew that esthetician's license would come in handy one day. You know besides when I was working as one.


Look out Cosmoprof.. here I come! 2 coats.. the top 2 pix are in full sun. The bottom 2 inside, natural light.
