CND Urban Oasis and CND Teal Sparkle

Ulta Underground

This is 2 coats of Underground. Black base (I *think*) with a teal-leaning blue shimmer. Supa dupa pigmented. The formula was average. Nothing spectacular, but not the worst I've ever used. Dried rather quickly.

Unfortunately, this looks black most of the time. The shimmer only comes out to play in direct sunlight. It doesn't "glow", if you know what I mean. It falls flat. I'm not a fan of blackened polishes, so this one goes in the purge box. I did however catch myself staring at my hands all day and I've realized it's because I'm ready for fall. I'm going to dive head first into my fall polishes (starting with OPI Germany, which was delivered to my house today. Yay!). The weather in Chicago today is overcast, foggy, and crisp (my favorite weather!), so I'm crazy for dark colors. Just as long as they don't look black :P

EDIT:
cell phone pictures!

OPI Sparkle Teal Sunrise

One coat of STS over Julep Megan. Gorgeous.

2 coats

China Glaze DV8

DBF and I are heading to the Shedd Aquarium today, so I thought I'd post something blue.

Two coats. Horrible pictures of DV8. My nails are uneven and I have tipwear. If I remember, I wore this during a big sale at work. Needed something gorgeous to distract me. I found this at a dusty. My first and only dusty hunt. I haven't mustered up the courage to go again.

P.S. We're going to the beach on Thursday and I plan on wearing a holo. Which one??? I have many, so make a wild guess!

China Glaze Atlantis

Atlantis is a ton of holographic glitter packed in a green-leaning teal jelly. It's gorgeous. I've gotten the more compliments on this mani that I've ever gotten before. I've had this on for over a week and I'm itching to take it off, but look how well it held up! I've got one chip on the corner of my left middle finger, but that's about it. (I file off tipwear) I believe this was three coats.
