Priti NYC Baby Blue Eyes

Hi, you guys! Happy 4th of July! Whenever I have a day off from work, I'm so slow with everything, including posting. And I just discovered Candy Crush Saga, so I've been spending all my time trying to level up lol. :-)

Today, I've got another sweet shade from Priti NYC to share with you. Baby Blue Eyes is a soft, slightly dusty cornflower blue with subtle shimmers.

I think this is such a beautiful blue, especially lovely for spring and summer. My camera sometimes has trouble capturing dustiness, so I would say what you see in the swatches is a little brighter blue than in real life. The formula for this is great; it's thin and smooth while still being pigmented. Each coat dries quickly to a glossy shine. The first coat looks a little thin, but the second coat fills everything in and reaches full coverage.

You can find Baby Blue Eyes on PritiNYC.com for $13.50 for 0.43 fl oz, and you can use the code PRITISPECIAL for 10% off valid until August 1st.

Priti NYC Empress Tree

Good morning! Today, I've got another lovely shade from Priti NYC to share with you. Empress Tree is a soft, muted light purple with a hint of gray in a creme finish.

This is such a pretty neutral with just a hint of color. :-) Application is nice and easy for this one. Each coat comes out thin and smooth without any issues. I did three coats to reach total coverage for this color, but it didn't take very long overall because each coat dries quickly to a glossy shine.

Priti NYC Horned Poppy

Happy weekend! Hope yours is fabulous! We're having a heat wave for a few days, so after I finish this post, I'm going to find a cool place to hide out. :-)

I'm really excited to have received a few Priti NYC polishes to share with you. Today, I'll start off with Horned Poppy, a soft daffodil yellow with subtle silver shimmers in a pearly finish.

Horned Poppy was originally released as part of the four-polish Priti NYC Turkish Sorbet Spring 2012 Collection. It's a flattering and wearable yellow, soft and not too saturated. Like most yellows, it's a little thin and streaky on the first coat, but builds up to even and opaque coverage in three coats. I'm really liking Horned Poppy, both for its color and its formula, and it earns a spot as one of my favorite yellows. :-)

You can find Horned Poppy on PritiNYC.com for $13.50 for 0.43 fl oz, and you can use the code PRITISPECIAL for 10% off valid until August 1st.

Sephora by OPI Mermaid to Order

Hi there! Hope this post is finding you well! :-)

I was at Sephora the other day and saw that the Sephora by OPI polishes were all on sale for 50% off! The rumor is that the Sephora and OPI collaboration is coming to an end, and Sephora is discontinuing their Sephora by OPI polishes... hence the sale. So I picked up the one polish I have been eyeing for quite some time, but have just never made it into my shopping cart for whatever reason. Mermaid to Order is finally mine! :) It's a rich and vibrant duochrome green/teal/blue polish with a metallic finish.

Oh my gosh, how beautiful is this, right?! It has everything I adore in a polish: jewel-tone, duochrome, metallic, shimmers, and teal! The center color is green, and then as you tilt your hand, you'll see teal and then blue move in from the edges. The more you tilt your hand, the more teal and blue you will see. The formula is great, and application is easy peasy. Each coat comes out thin and smooth, and you just need the standard two coats for opacity. There are some brush strokes due to this type of finish, but most of that goes away once it dries.

You can find Mermaid to Order at Sephora for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz, but all Sephora by OPIs are currently 50% off for only $4.50.

China Glaze Keepin' It Teal

Hi, you guys! Happy middle-of-the-week! :)

Today, I have another of the jellies from the China Glaze Sunsational Collection for you. Keepin' It Teal is a cool-toned, teal-leaning green with a squishy jelly finish.

It's thin and easy to apply, building up coverage evenly, if a bit slowly. What you see in the swatches is three coats, and it's decent coverage at that, though still a little sheer. If you want a more opaque finish, you'll probably want a fourth coat. This one isn't particularly neon or even that bright, but it's still a great color and it dries to a high-gloss shine. :)

You can find Keepin' It Teal at your local nail salons and at beauty stores such as Ulta and Sally Beauty for a retail price of $7 for 0.5 fl oz.
