China Glaze Autumn Nights Fall 2013, selected swatches.

Happy Fall...yep it is finally starting to feel like fall here in LA! Can you feel it?

Well let's start this season off right with some colors from China Glaze's new collection for Fall 2013, "Autumn Nights". :)

Left to right: "Don't Make Me Wine", "Charmed I'm Sure", and "Queen B". 

First Up...

"Don't Make Me Wine"

2 coats, no top coat

 

This is a gorgeous magenta red.  It applied in two coats, but my bottle was thicker than I expected, and thus application was difficult. After the swatch I thinned it a bit, and made it my new pedicure color, it was much better with the thinner.  This color is very rich and gorgeous in the sunlight, but it's not very original. Hhmmmm...

"Charmed I'm Sure"

3 coats, no top coat

I was fighting a bald spot for this manicure, so I had to apply three coats, however I'm sure that was my fault, and I have no doubts this can be opaque in two coats :)  Gorgeous deep purple creme. Not very unique, but it is very pretty, and applied well. This deep purple creme does not disappoint for fall. :)

"Queen B"

2 coats, no top coat

This is a dusty indigo creme. GORGEOUS, and the name is cute too! This is easily a one coater, but I applied two out of sheer joy at seeing it on my nails *swoon*. It applied very well, no issues, even with my "Oops" moment on the ring finger :)

Overall, these three colors are nice but nothing "new".  I love the last two, and I am happy to add them to my collection, but nothing here FLOORED ME!

Cheers to China Glaze® Autumn Nights, available in September 2013 at fine salons and beauty supply stores as open stock colors, 6 piece box collections, 6 piece counter display, 12 piece counter display and 36 piece rack.

Yellow Ombre Manicure

Happy Yellow day...no actually it is National Hot Dog Day today, and what's the best condiment on top of a hot dog?...MUSTARD! Well, at least that's what I like on it :)

So in honor of this day, I give you a yellow ombre manicure!

Thumb to Pinkie:

Ilamasqua "Scorch"
China Glaze "Lemon Fizz"
China Glaze "Happy Go Lucky"
Barielle "Lemon Drops"
Essence "Sundancer"

I tried to find a super light yellow creme in my stash that would have worked instead of the white thumb, but.... no dice! I thought Sally Hansen "Yellow Kitty" would work, but it was not light enough.

Here are all of my yellow creme colors, that I swatched to find the right shades...

As is typical of most yellow polishes, these required 3 coats to be perfectly opaque, with no bald spots!

Happy National Hot Dog Day!

Keep it Sweet!...your life...not the hot dog, LOL! :)

Teal Ombre Nail Manicure

Here is a sweet little diddy I wore last week.

I took an empty nail wheel and swatched a bunch of teal cremes, in order to see which colors looked "in harmony" with one another, and these were the winners!

Left to Right: China Glaze "Re-Fresh Mint, Catrice "Am I Blue Or Green?", China Glaze "Aquadelic", Zoya "Wednesday", OPI "Mermaid's Tears".

Left to Right (Thumb to Pinkie): China Glaze "Re-Fresh Mint, Catrice "Am I Blue Or Green?", China Glaze "Aquadelic", Zoya "Wednesday", OPI "Mermaid's Tears".

I like how this ombre goes from "minty green" to "teal blue", and then to a more subdued teal. Fun!

 

Thanks for checking out my ombre, Keep It Sweet!

Jindie Nails "JINDIE-Pendence Glitter Topper" Limited Edition

I have another holiday themed manicure for ya using Jindie Nails!

I decided to top Jindie Nails "JINDIE-Pendence Glitter Topper" LE over China Glaze "Immortal".

I applied 2 coats of  JPG over 2 coats of China Glaze "Immortal".  After that I applied my usual 2 coats of top coat!

Jindie Nails "JINDIE-Pendence Glitter Topper" is a mix of red, white, blue and silver glitter in a a variety of shapes and sizes suspended in a clear base. There are squares, stars, circles, diamonds, hexagons, rectangles, and dots, all in a variety of matte and metallic finishes.

China Glaze "Immortal" was released for their Halloween 2012 Wicked Collection.  It has an awesome grey base with blue and purple shimmer. It applied well in 2 coats,. no issues and I  thought the shimmer would be a perfect base for the large glitter on top. I was right!

Unfortunately this Jindie Nails polish is already SOLD OUT too, but you may able to score a bottle on a "blog sale". :)

Keep It Sweet!
