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 :)

Out of Character Nail Day (Zoya Dea)

i was painting nails last night with a girlfriend and she pointed out the many untried bottles of polish i have sitting in my polish box, so i let her choose my color for today. She chose Zoya Dea. i believe my exact response was, "poop brown? awwwwwwwwwwwwwww." which is a little silly of me, because i bought it and lets face it i have excellent taste. 

so dea, uh-mazing application. a lot of my Zoya creams are on the thick side and tend to apply a little like my high school white out manicures (come on, you know you did it too) if i'm not super careful. *i'm looking at you Snow White* however, Dea was an absolute dream.

i finished my manicure and kept glancing down, a little disappointed at the lack of sparkle on my out of character mani so i reached for my newest bottle of American Apparel polish. Meteor Shower is soooo pretty! it is a gorgeous gold foil flakie that applies relatively easily considering how randomly sized and shaped the flakies are. as it dried i used a toothpick to pat down any stray corners and then put like 5 coats of topcoat (china glaze and then sally hansen) to get a smooth and shiny finish. 

turned out kind of cute if you ask me ;) 

and in the end, not at all poop brown-ish.
