One! Two! Three! Three Polishes! Ha ha ha!

I was channeling The Count. You'll have to excuse me.

I just had an involved discussion with the cashier at my friendly neighborhood Rite Aid about nail polish. I love it when I can randomly inform strangers of my obsession. I told her all about Hidden Treasure and the Zoya polish exchange. I feel like I fulfilled my civic duty for today.

So on to the polishes!

This is a CHI polish I picked up at Ulta. It's a blue/green duochrome called Hot Ring Illusion Around Saturn. This polish is the hotness! I'd never bought a CHI polish before, but I remember seeing this collection when it came out. I sort of wish I'd picked up all of them then because this is awesome!


This is a Del Sol polish called Rock Star. It's a sheer blue glitter. I think I screwed up here because I applied four coats to make it opaque and then barely got any color change at all in the sun. :/
This is in the shade:


And in the sun. You can KIND OF see where it's turning more green, but it's really pretty unnoticeable.

The least sparkly of the Zoya Sparkle collection: Nidhi. I don't usually go for tomato reds, but I really liked this polish. The gold sparkle is unique. I got bored with it, though, and konaded over it with a sheer gold polish. Don't ask me what plate I used, because I'm way too lazy right now to look and see. :)


And another!



I actually have no more pictures uploaded, so I guess tomorrow I'll have to upload some more. It's cool having a photo backlog because it makes churning out posts easier. :)

Del Sol!

My parents live just a short drive from Panama City Beach, so when we were down there visiting them for the holidays, we went to Pier Park for some shopping. In Pier Park, there is a Del Sol store. Del Sol sells all of this stuff that changes color under UV rays -- clothes, jewelry... NAIL POLISH.

Of course I had to get a couple of bottles of the nail polish. I sort of wish I'd picked up more interesting colors. I guess I'll have to remember that next time. You can order this stuff online, but it's $2 more expensive than buying it at the store.

This shade is called Ruby Slippers. It is clear with silver glitter indoors and sort of a dusty pink with silver glitter in sunlight. I expected more red from Ruby Slippers. :) The glitter is also not very dense. This is four coats.

The other color I picked up is called "Pretty in Pink" and it's an opalescent pale pink indoors and an opalescent bright pink outside. It's pretty sheer -- this is three coats.
