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 :)

golden agro

so, long story but a coworker's exboyfriend used to tease her every time she wore green that she was a lesbian. (i guess in asshole logic, lesbians like green?) anywho, the joke is now that whenever i wear green, i'm totally gay for her. which is true at all times to be honest. 

so she's been away from work for three weeks and in her honor, i decided to do my tips in Agro from the China Glaze Hunger Games Collection. (okay, we may have also read the Hunger Games together) 

this is one - yes, one!!!! - coat of Agro with two layers of essie as gold as it gets on the tips. this was a dream to apply, even more so than my other China Glaze polishes. i love how subtle the essie is, but i think it adds something to the manicure. Agro has a nice golden glow to it on it's own and it isn't nearly as dark as i thought it would be...i'm kind of in love with it in all fairness.
