Color Club Catwalk Queen Collection: Runway Muse

Color Club Runway Muse (4 coats)

I have a real love-hate relationship with Runway Muse. Just look at the beautiful duochrome pearlescent polish from Color Club! In some lights it is pink, in others it looks a bit more gold to me. Overall, it reminds me of the inside of a seashell. In that respect I am in love. Unfortunately it is very sheer and you guys know how I feel about sheer polishes. This is four coats and you can still see a little bit of nail line. Since it is so sheer I sort of slathered it on and you can see a few bubbles. This wasn't the polish's fault, it was all mine. I think this one would look cool over another polish to give it a pearl finish.

Nicole: Peas & Q's

Nicole Peas & Q's (2 coats)

I found this baby at Target a few weeks ago on Clearance and who could turn down a mint green? Not this girl. I still absolutely hate the Nicole bottles, and I know I'm not the only one. I always feel like the bottle is going to fall over. Peas & Q's is a mint green creme that is definitely a bit darker than many of the mint cremes that have been released in the past year or so. This one was really pigmented and only needed 2 coats for full coverage. 

I believe Nicole has a new Gossip Girl Collection that was just released. I've seen a few swatches, but none of them are really calling to me. Have you seen them? Do you like them?

China Glaze Poolside Collection: Kiwi Cool-ada

China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada (4 coats)

We've got another striking green neon for the summer months. Kiwi Cool-ada comes from the China Glaze Poolside Collection that includes all of your favorite neons. I love the color, but the application leaves much to be desired. It was very thin and watery and needed at least 4 coats to be opaque. I dunno, at this point, I am not likely to wear a polish again that needs 4 coats since I have so many other great greens, you know?

China Glaze: Lubu Heels

China Glaze Lubu Heels (2 coats)

Wow, I currently have 192 followers! 200 here I come (eventually)! Since my blog is going on 1 year old soon, I'm still amazed that people look and follow my little blog. THANK YOU! Sometimes I feel like I don't say that enough to you guys. Enough with the sap, I'm here to tell you about this glorious polish called Lubu Heels from China Glaze. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I only like black polishes that have a little something extra to it. On its own it is just too much for me. Lubu Heels definitely fits that bill since it is a black jelly with small red glitter throughout. What's even better is that it is a jelly and only needed 2 coats! Hallelujah!
