China Glaze

Fangtastic

Yes, yes it is!

Oldie and goodie - China Glaze BFF

I can't remember if I have ever worn this before.

 But, I was in the mood for something pink and holo.

 You can't really tell in these pictures, but I had a terrible time applying this. It was a little chunky and streaky.

But, it positively glows and looks amazing in the sunshine, so it's a win!

China Glaze - Jungle Queen

 I love this color! It reminds me a lot of Revlon's Purplex though. I really need to comp them side by side!

 Pretty shimmer.

I tried Konad again with a little China Glaze Harmony.

Pink and Green marble

 Yup, I'm still on the needle marble kick! I love how this turned out!

I've been using Zoya Snowsicle a lot lately. It's the perfect sparkly sheer ivory color! You can only catch glipses of it in this marbling, but i love it!

Pink, purple marble.

Sun Worshiper

 I don't have many neons. Nor do I have a lot of oranges and yellows. So, when I was at Sally's last month and there was a free China Glaze with purchase, I picked this up. (even though my husband was looking at me a little funny)

 I gotta say, these pictures look about 100% better than I what this looked like in real life. It was streaky and messy. I felt it was way too fake-kraft-mac-and-cheese looking on my hands.

I think I'll try it again with some nail art. Some orange polka dots maybe?

Some Nail Art stuff I've been trying out...

 Needle Marble Mani

I'm still mastering this one, but I like it. It's not easy though!

 Part of my problem is, I can't stick to one look. I want to throw every color I own on at once!

I saw this tutorial on Youtube and wanted to try it. Mine did not come out as nice, but came out better than I thought it would. Definitely going to try it again!

I love the ombre/gradient look. I did this with a cut up makeup sponge and then added a layer of sheery pearly white over it. I didn't come out as seamless as I wanted, but I used like 4 different colors. Next time I think I'll just use two and sponge it on thicker...?

Minty Fresh Comps

China Glaze "For Audrey" vs. Zoya "Wednesday" vs. Wet-n-Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"

Pointer Finger: For Audrey

Middle Finger: Wednesday

Ring Finger: I Need A Refresh-Mint

Pinky: For Audrey

 The picture makes For Audrey and Refreshmint, look closer than they actually are in real life. Wednesday is a a bit dusky blue/green.

For Audrey leans more blue while the Wet-n-Wild leans more minty green. Wednesday isn't a dupe for either of them.

Verdict: I need all three.
If I had to get rid of one: Wet-n-Wild, because the brush is horrific!

While I was comping these, it occurred to me that the Zoya might be a dupe for Misa's "Dirty Sexy Money" so I went and dug out my bottle of it which I haven't seen in probably two years. It needed some shaking, that's for sure.

Pointer and Ring: "Dirty, Sexy, Money"

Middle and Pinky: Zoya "Wednesday"

 Definitely not dupes either. The Misa is quite a bit darker.

Verdict: Love them both.
If I had to get rid of one: Misa, the formula is sucky and it takes forever to dry.
