These days I can't seem to do a manicure with just ONE colour. Unless its a glitter. Otherwise I have to do an accent nail or something. I can't have anything plain for some reason LOL.
Here's another NOTD from the weekend. :)
I was really excited to see that the new Covergirl Outlast polishes were released here! :) I've heard a lot about them on YouTube from Mary / ALoveTart and Tracy & Stef / Eleventhgorgeous.
When I saw the polishes in Priceline I was a little overwhelmed, there's a lot of gorgeous colours to choose from! But I chose to go with this really gorgeous pastel purple that I saw on Mary. It's called Lav-endure. I can't get enough of pretty purples like this one. And this might be a new favourite for me! I've been wearing it as a pedicure for about a week too - I love the colour so much. It also had a great formula. It was a little thick which was kind of weird, because it was also a little sheer and patchy on the first coat. But the second one went on great and it was opaque after the two coats. I've also heard that these Covergirl polishes wear really well even without a base or top coat! Though I don't think I could ever do a mani without base & top coat!
On my thumb & ring finger I wore China Glaze's I'm Not Lion from the Safari collection which I believe was their Autumn 2012 collection (but I'm pretty sure it was released much earlier than Autumn and I remember hearing about it in March 2012!) and it HAD to be one of the most popular, if not THE most popular shade from the collection. When it first came out I saw it EVERYWHERE! I only recently got my hands on it actually. So this was my first time wearing it! I'm loving the full coverage glitters like this lately. I used to hate them and swore I'd never buy one but now I love it!
I'm Not Lion is a cool gold holographic full coverage glitter. I used 3 coats for opacity over PVA base coat. I topped it off with 2 coats of Essence Gel Look top coat + one coat of Seche Vite top coat and it was 100% smooth. I probably could've only used one coat of Gel Look instead of two, though.
These new Covergirl polishes should be available everywhere Covergirl is sold. So far I have only seen them at Priceline and Target, though. If you want some - BE QUICK! Priceline has them Buy 1 Get 1 Free right now, and Target has them 50% off!
You have really gorgeous nails! You may want to disable your word verification- may get more comments! But your manis are perfect!
