Pomegranate Nail Lacquer Royal Fairy Tale Collection

Hello everyone. Happy Valentine's Day if you celebrate...I personally hate it so...moving on.
Today I have a couple romantic shades from Pomegranate Nail Lacquer's new Royal Fairy Tale Collection, Damsel & Storm The Castle.
Damsel is a beige/tan shimmer that reminds me of the tights we wore in dance class. They were shimmery and would not run unless you stuck those suckers in the blender! The formula was a little thick but not hard to work with. I used 3 coats.


 
 
Storm The castle is a mega opaque teal grey jelly. AhmiGawd do I LOVE this color? I DO, I Do, I DO! The formula was fantastic and was completely opaque in only 2 coats.


 
 
If you are already familiar with Pomegranate Nail Lacquer you will notice Tina has changed her label and bottle. While I do like the new look, I do miss the old bottle I originally fell in love with ;)
The new bottle is a tiny bit smaller at 14.5mL vs the 16mL it used to be. It also reflects in the price as well as these are $8.50 instead of $9. You can visit the website here.

City Color Masquerade

Today I have a beautiful light grey to show you from a drug store polish called City Color Masquerade collection. The name is just light grey. I can't believe how freakin awesome this nail polish is! The formula was top notch! No streaking, patchiness, pooling or any other polish gripe. If all their polish is like this then I'm a fan. This is 2 coats and top coat.


 
I think I bought this in RiteAid for $2.99

Mmmm Nails Jellykisses

Happy Monday everyone! Can you believe I almost got up this morning and went to work for 6am forgetting I had the day off. Good thing I looked at my schedule. So instead of sleeping in, I'm up at 6:30 walking the dog. Sigh, what I would give to sleep until like 9am...Anyhow, today I have another Mmmm Nails polish called Jellykisses. It's a blue jelly based packed with small blue glitter and some medium sized blue hex glitter as well. I layered this City Color light gray which is a very very light gray with a hint of shimmer in it. It reminds me a little of OPI My Boyfriend Scales The Walls. The formula on Jellykisses was good. The glitter payoff was great...they usually are with jelly bases. This is 2 coats with a layer of top coat.

China Glaze Awaken

Hello readers. TGIF!!!!!!! I just worked 8 days straight and am so relieved to finally have a day off tomorrow. So of course with that said, we are getting rain all weekend. Gotta love New England -_-
So for grey skies, I have grey nails...or are they more like pewter? This is China Glaze Awaken.
 
Awaken is a gunmetal grey metallic polish that is a dream. This polish is so opaque you can get away with one coat. I used two because I am a two coat kind of girl. The formula was pure awesomeness! It pretty much stayed put...no issues here. China Glaze did a great job with this one. I'm pretty sure it would be great for stamping.

OPI Berlin There Done That

Hello my wonderful people. Our last stop on the Germany tour in Berlin There Done That. BTDT is a light grey with some brownish tint to it. Almost a taupe. Lovely as it is, I have already worn it twice and have gotten many complements. The formula on it was very nice. For a creme it leveled very nicely. I used three coats for extra depth. It dried very shiny.

Shade

I decided not to buy Schnapps Out Of It. I just could not get myself to like the terra cotta shade of coral. I kept picking it up and was bleh about it.
GIVEAWAY COMING SOON ;)

OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!

Hello all. How is your week going? I'm sure glad tomorrow is Friday. I feel just exhausted this week. Maybe I'm coming down with something. I hope not. This Saturday I will be volunteering at The Closer To Free Bike Ride for Smilow Cancer Hospital. It's pretty fun.

Today from the Germany Collection I have Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!...phew. What a mouthful. I don't  know how they even fit these names of the labels. NNNOF is a dark grey creme that leans on the green side. It had a great formula, I used 2 coats for opacity.



 
All the pics were taken on a cloudy day :(
I had trouble capturing the green in this polish.

Angel Dreamz

Hey guys! Did everyone have a good weekend? Mine was ok. I didn't do much but I think it's better than coming back to work tired from a busy weekend. I got my Transdesign order in last week and I wanted to try out one of the polishes I got so I grabbed New York Weekend Angel Dreams which is a pastel pink and blue hex glitter suspended and a clear base filled with fine silver microglitter. The hex glitter had a holographic quality to it in the correct lighting. The polish itself would never be opaque so I decided to layer it over OPI Skull & Glossbones. The hex glitter was a serious PITA trying to get out the bottle onto my finger tips. I did 2 coats with some dabbing and was able to get minimal coverage. After that I sort of gave up but I did like the outcome.


All the glitter kept sinking to the bottom of the bottle. I had to keep capping and shaking to spread it out.
