China Glaze "Ugly Sweater Party"


Hey guys and happy Sunday!  Who else watched the SpaceX shuttle launch this weekend?  (The space nerd in me was thrilled!)  So without further ado, today's nail polish is China Glaze's "Ugly Sweater Party" a fun mini bottle that I got a few Christmas's back.  Here's how this chunky glitter looks in the bottle:


"Ugly Sweater Party" is a pink and red chunky glitter in a red base.  The formula of this polish was slightly thick and made applying it a little tough.  The glitter did spread fairly evenly across my nails. After two coats "Ugly Sweater Party" was not opaque but after a third coat it looked a lot better.  Here's how the glitter looks up close:


Overall I like China Glaze's "Ugly Sweater Party."  The chunky glitter is fun and funky - it's perfect for a holiday party.  I will probably keep this nail polish in my collection just because the glitter is so happy!

OPI "Plum Me To You"


Hi guys and happy Tuesday!  Despite the sunshine the weather is still unseasonably cold for May, so I pulled out a vampy Winter color.  So without further ado, today's nail polish is OPI's "Plum Me To You."  Look at this pretty in the bottle:


"Plum Me To You" is a lovely vampy dark red nail polish.  The formula of this polish was wonderful and it applied easily to my nails.  After two coats "Plum me To You" was surprisingly not opaque and there were some streak marks.  A third coat did not help with the streaks.  Here's how "Plum Me To You" looks up close:


Overall I have mixed feelings about OPI's "Plum me To You."  The color and formula are fantastic but the streak marks were not.  I think this polish will remain in my collection for a while though because it is such a pretty color.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Ocean Blue"


Hi all and happy Friday!  While I can't be at the beach I decided to pretend with my nails!  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Ocean Blue."  I've had this polish in my collection for ages and I haven't worn it in ages.  Here's how this pretty looks in the bottle:


"Ocean Blue" is a shimmery turquoise polish.  The formula of "Ocean Blue" was slightly watery, but it applied well in nice thin coats.  It took three coats for the polish to be fully opaque - however even with a top coat I couldn't get "Ocean Blue" to dry!  Here's how it looks up close on my nails:


Overall I am sad about Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Ocean Blue."  I used to love this polish and wear it a lot but over the years I've added other polishes that have taken precedent.  I probably won't be keeping this polish since it no longer dries on my nails.

Ciaté "Starlet"


Hello all and happy Thursday!  We're nearly to the weekend and I am looking forward to relaxing and   sleeping in.  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Ciaté's "Starlet."  Here's how this pretty looks in the bottle:


"Starlet" is a grey iridescent shimmer.  The formula of this polish is good and applied with ease.  After two coats "Starlet" was not quite opaque so I added a third coat.  After the third coat, "Starlet" was fully opaque and had no visible streak marks.  Here's how the iridescent shimmer looks up close:


Overall I have mixed feeling about Ciaté's "Starlet."  The color is pretty and definitely unique to my collection but it isn't a color I can see myself wearing that often.  I'm not sure what I plan to do with this nail polish.
