Orangey Coral Comparison

In case you aren't able to find OPI Cajun Shrimp, I have found a very close dupe.  Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Kook-A-Mango.  I honestly can barely tell a difference.  Can you?

Index and ring fingers are Cajun Shrimp.  Middle and pinky are Kook-A-Mango.

ESSIE Swatch: Bachelorette Bash

Hi all!  Hope you had a fun and safe Independence Day weekend.  Here is a quick swatch on my thumb of Bachelorette bash.  A vibrant pink creme.

By the way, I still can't post replies to any comments.  Again, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.

I Can't post comments??!!!

Can anyone help me?  I have been trying to post replies to comments, but I haven't been able to for some time.  Is there a preference or something I need to do?  TIA!!!

REVLON: Plum Night

Hello everyone!  I hope you are all able to keep cool.  It's been so hot here on the east coast lately.
Anyway, here is a gorgeous deep purple that almost looks black.  It actually does look black in my pictures.  I took a picture with just the bottle to try and get a more accurate color.  But IRL it looks like a deep, grape juice purple.  It's a creme and goes on very nicely but definitely needs 2 coats.  Please excuse the bubbles, I have the A/C on but still needed my Hawaiian Breeze fan on......and you know what happens when you apply nail polish with a fan on.  This bottle shot is truer to the actual color on the nail.

Thanks for looking and I hope you all have a great weekend!

AVON Mocha

AVON Pink Glaze

My lovely daughter wearing AVON Red Wine

AVON Rose Velvet

AVON Strawberry

ESSIE Innocent

OPI Friar Friar Pants On Fire!

Rimmel Rapid Ruby

Please keep in mind that there was no clean-up, these are just swatches.  So what do you think?  A treasure found, or eh?

Thanks for hanging with me!

Hello everyone!  Just wanted to say thank you for hanging around while I was not posting  :)  I found about a dozen dusty nail polishes in a box in the back of my closet this weekend.  So I'll start posting swatches of those soon, possibly today.  I've cut my nails back again because they are peeling on the sides and break too easily these days.  But the peeling is getting better.  I also finally found my PERFECT base coat.  Actually I rediscovered it. 
My favorite base coat in the beginning was China Glaze Strong Adhesion.  The only reason I stopped using it was because I was almost out, and Sally Beauty Supply was out as well.  So I tried something else thinking base coats were all the same.  Well, this started a long and not so fun adventure trying to find the perfect base coat that prevents staining and keeps my polish attached to the nail.  So the other day, I saw my old (almost empty) bottle of CG SA.  I figured I had nothing to lose since the other base coats have failed me.  Yes, it was kinda thick now and not so easy to spread.  But let me tell you, my polish has lasted over a week with only slight chipping on my right thumb nail.  After a week of this proof, I went to SBS and they had it in stock and I bought a bottle for me and one for my daughter.  Now I am a happy "polisher".  :D

What is your favorite base coat that actually works for you?  Do any of you have some old polishes that you still love that are probably discontinued?  I would love to know about them.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms.  Especially to my mom, she is the BEST!  Sorry I haven't posted in a bit, I am giving my nails a break.  They are getting a little dry and peeling.  I try to keep them moisturized, but all the polish remover is wreaking havoc on them I guess.  So anyway, have a wonderful day and I'll be back as soon as I can.
