New polishes :)



I just got 9 new polishes in the mail today! 5 Ulta's and 3 China Glaze. I let my husband pick a color combo and design and this is what he picked. It kind of reminds me of Freddie kruger lol. Base is 2 coats Ulta smoke screen, stripes are China glaze ruby pumps 182, and 2 coats sally hansen instadry clear. Both colors had good formulas and were true to color. Smoke screen could have been a one coat had i paid attention while i applied it. I have been wanting ruby pumps for a while and i love it. Packed with glitter in a red jelly base it probably wouldn't take but 2 coats to be opaque. This manicure looks much better in person however because my clear went wonky a week ago and is leaving tons of tiny bubbles but you can't see them in person. No bubbles in the bottle but it is hazy/foggy and i don't know why, its probably 2-3 months old.

pure ice flirt alert

Two coats and two coats sally hansen instadry clear. Accent nail is Ulta little black dress with flirt alert polka dots. Flirt alert could be a one coat bit i prefer two, little black dress is a little more sheer and needed two coats. I used the end of a straight pin for the dots.

China glaze lubu heels

2 coats lubu heels, 2 coats sally hansen instadry clear. The lubu is a black jelly with red glitter. Its just ok, the lubu is pretty sheer and jellyish. I wish the red glitter stood out more but the shimmer is nice. There was a little bit of shrinkage with the lubu also. Overall i don't love it just its decent.
