okay, so those aren't the lyrics... but she is super flashy and fun!!! Lady J over at MyPerfectPolish did a swatch of Lola a few weeks ago and i loved it on her, so i thought i would take a shot at it.

this is such a glowingly gorgeous pink, and i thought it was tons of fun with Lush and Luxe (China Glaze) on my ring finger and thumb. it is super hard to photograph though, because the flashes of blue are so much more apparent in person than in photographs. it took two coats to get opaque, but i did three to make it a little more even. i felt like barbie the whole time i wore this :)

i know what boys like - no, really... i kinda do ;)

so i finally played with my new deborah lippman polishes, including this gem which i bought only because this song has been one of my all time favorites for way too long to admit:



anywho... greatest song ever and my new favorite blue polish. the bottle itself wasn't super impressive and at one coat it was horribly streaky and inconsistent and i was almost in tears because i was *seriously* determined to love it. i glopped (technical term) on a second coat and held my breath and lo and behold i had the most deliciously shiny deep periwinkle nails ever. the second coat evened it all out perfectly, though my actual hands are hideous so don't look too closely. 

the direct sunlight picture is the most true to color, though i'll admit i kinda like it in all the pictures ;)

I got/had the Springtime Blues

i played with manipulative when i got it in the mail, but was so unhappy with the application that i put it away and forgot about it until last week. i was checking zuza agaisnt all of my dusty blue/tiffany's blue dupes and realized that maybe manipulative and i got off on the wrong foot. i think the two together might be a little off, but individually i am enamored. 


manipulative is the perfect mix between a dusty blue and a bright teal, i didn't' get much of that beautiful pinkish shimmer that glimpses out of the bottle (even after three coats), though i think i can see glimpses of the pink in this picture, on the thumb...

zuza was just as lovely, and it wasn't gritty like some of the micro glitters that i have gotten from zoya *i'm looking at you Kimmy* 

btw - my kiddo was just as in love with zuza so i see a full on zuza mani coming soon...
