Nails of the Week: Essie In the Cab-ana

I debated for weeks about whether or not I should by this polish. I only have a million tealy-blue polishes, did I really need another?

Well, yes, I did. 

It's a weird shade, in some light it looks like it leans more green, while it also has a slight storminess to it as well. 

It isn't as bright as it comes across in some swatches I've seen online, and in my own swatches. 

But that doesn't make it less gorgeous. It's a perfect summer blue. 

Nails of the Week: China Glaze Purple Panic

So last week's manicure was an oldie, but a goodie. 

I don't even remember the last time I pulled this out, but seeing as this is my Summer of Neon I couldn't go three months without wearing one of the first neons I'd ever purchased. 

I'd forgotten how gorgeous it is, I might be bringing it back for round two this summer. 

The formula was a bit thick, but that could be because I've had this bottle for a few years. A few drops of thinner got it back to a workable formula. It's a satiny-matte finish when worn without top coat; I wore seche vite over top. 

The only issue I had with it was that it chipped faster than my polishes tend to. I get an average of 5 days wear normally, but this one only lasted 3.
