Rainbow Favorites: #5- Blue

For todays color I wasn't sure what blue to pick, I have so many favorites. I went with a polish that I actually has been a favorite for a couple years now. Maybe a bit longer, I even have two bottles since the first one has been used quite a bit. 


Used: 
Base Coat
Sally Hansen- Blue Me Away 2 coats
Accent Nail- Orly- Mysterious Curse 2 coats
All topped with Seche Vite 

I have used Blue me away on here a couple times herehere and here. The last link was my Half Moon mani, when I finished this I thought it looked familiar, Although not the same colors or same at all really. Mysterious Curse is similar to Essence- Blue Ray, Or at least look similar when paired with the same color.  Surprisingly even though I've shown Blue Me Away a few times, none of them has been alone like I'm wearing now. Eh better late then never.

Rainbow Favorites: #4 Green

Just a quick post for today, for my green favorite I chose an untried. I got this color for Easter from my BF, it is the perfect Crayola green. I had always wanted a green that shade. So of course I had to pick it for today.
Ok enough talk on to the pictures...


Used: 
Base Coat
NYC- High Line Green 2 coats
flowers- 
Opi- Suzi Takes the Wheel
Spoiled- Shrimp on the Barbie

Flowers made using a small dotting tool. 

I had planned on leaving my yellow on for a day or two but when I filed my nails, the yellow lifted up so it was either pick at it all day at work yesterday or change it right away. So of course I changed.

Rainbow Favorites: #3 Yellow

Short and sweet post for ya today. The next in the Rainbow Favorites challenge is Yellow. I do have quite a few yellow polishes, I usually don't wear yellow by itself just not my cup of tea. And yellows are usually hard to work with, so yea I'm not a huge fan. Onto what I picked for today, BEWARE it's a bright one, I even went out in the sun for my pics... 

HaHa so yea my cleanup was a bit terrible on here, Sorry for that just Pretend it's not there please.
Used:
Base Coat
Ulta- Set The Nude 2 coats
Color Club- Volt of Light 
Topped With Color Club Vivid Top Coat 

Ah it was a little painful not to use Seche Vite, But Figured I would try the Vivid top coat. It didn't dry quite as fast as SV but pretty fast, was dry to the touch within 10 minutes, Could of been sooner but I didn't want to mess it up. 

Now I've read horror stories about this polish needing up to 6 coats.
And I've read other who said it applied beautifully and only needing 2-3 coats.  
So I figured it would be best to layer this to help. So I went with the same base I used here, It worked like a charm only needed to 2 coats and looks fine. I have noticed it is a little darker than in the bottle, I  think it's because of the base color but no big deal. 

I think I need to add something to tone this down a bit, I'm thinking grey but what?

Rainbow Favorites Challenge #2- Orange

For today I went with an Untried Orange. So not a favorite at all really but oh well works anyway...


Used: 
Base Coat
Opi- Y'all Coma Back Ya Hear? 2 coats
China Glaze- Luxe and Lush 1 coat
Ring fingers- Icing- Tell Me I'm Awesome 
Then one more thick coat of Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? 
all topped with Seche Vite. 

I was a little worried that this wouldn't dry it was so thick, the top was dry pretty quick due to the Seche Vite but under neath was still squishy. By the next morning it was good to go though. And no sheet marks or anything yay.

Rainbow Favorites Challenge- #1 Red

In PaA in focebook, there are a bunch of us doing this Rainbow Favorites Challenge, Bec from Lacquer Dreams thought this up and put it all together. Everyday we post a new color, supposed to be our favorite of each. But well I don't think I actually have a favorite of any so I'll just stick with whats my current favorite.
In order will be starting with todays Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and ending with Pink. I might not post each day maybe every other day. But we'll see. Ok on to my pick for red...


Used: 
Base Coat
China glaze- Velvet Bow 3 thin coats 
Ring fingers- China Glaze- Electrify over Velvet bow 
All topped with Seche Vite 

I had wanted Velvet bow as soon as I saw swatches of it around Oct last year. This color was part of the 2011 holiday collection. In Nov I ordered a bunch of China Glaze and Orly holiday polishes but somehow did not get this one. But luckily enough I picked it up in January when they marked them all down. 

I almost didn't post these, this was pretty much a fail but it was my own fault. I did this pretty quick then just an hour or maybe two later went swimming for a good couple of hours. Then jumped in the shower right after that. Well all that water made my nails all soft and weak. Before the end of the day I had three nails chip luckily no breaks just the polish chipped. I got a few pictures and sorry these aren't entirely color accurate, appears a bit darker then it really is.
