Deep Blue Sea

Okay back to my blues.  I did this swatch a while ago when my nails were shorter, but the colors are still just as pretty :)

NYC "Skin Tight Denim"
L'Oreal "Blue Metal"
I bought Blue Metal at the DT and I knew it had to be mine, what a find this one was!

But, when I got home I realized that Blue Metal had a twin?


Yeah, exact DUPES!  I could not tell them apart

S.T.D is on the index and the ring finger, Blue Metal is on the middle finger and the pinkie. 2 coats of each.

S. T. D. is at your local drugstore, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid for 99cents. 

Neither gave me any issues, and both were $1, so you cant beat that right?

Pin It!

Zoya Chopping Block: Part 5...the final verdicts!

Okay, so we have final 2 bottles, that are on the chopping block.
Meet defendants #9 Sally Hansen "Linen Creme" and #10 N.Y.C. "Cashmere Creme".

Linen Creme







This is 3 coats...so thin!


4 coats, still slight "V.N.L."...visible nail line.






This is a nice ivory creme with a slight golden shimmer, but its 4 coats..no bueno. Yeah this one is a goner, I mean really?..4 coats?! No way. I originally bought this to do a french manicure, but now I've opted for a less "muted/cloudy" more "clean lined" french manicures, so that's it..no go on this one.

Next?!...

"Cashmere Creme"





Please excuse the state of the index finger, it was not happy about all the swatching :(

So this was 3 coats, nothing special a beautiful bright baby blue shimmer, but if I want a baby blue polish, I want a baby blue creme, not a shimmer. I actually mixed a little of "Zoya's "Snow White" into to this to make it more of a creme. But no dice.


My verdict is...Both gotta go, I have my sights set on some Zoya's and its time to "trim the fat"....hee hee...Keep it sweet!
