Essie Shorty Pants

Today I am sharing my favorite yellow nail polish as part of the favorites rainbow challenge.  Like orange, I'm not a huge fan of yellow because most of the time they have awful formulas and look disgusting on.  Essie Shorty Pants is an exception to this rule, it is a bright but not neon yellow creme.  Too bad this polish is discontinued and hard to find or I would get a backup.  Hope you enjoy!

Essie Bonded

I'm doing a week of favorites that blogger Bec from Lacquer Dreams had the great idea of doing.  For this week I will post my favorite red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink polish from my stash.  Today is red and I chose Essie Bonded as my very favorite red to share with everyone. Bonded is a discontinued Essie that is a red jelly with a very fine silver glitter.  It is the red sister to Essie Starry Starry Nights.  On the nail, the glitter shows up pinkish because of the red jelly.  It reminds me of candied apples!

OPI DS Amethyst

I found this polish on a nail salon rack when I was getting a pedicure and I asked the salon owner if I could buy it and she said $2.50!!!  It is only about 70% full and the silver cap was replaced with a normal one, but I am still a happy camper!  DS Amethyst is a linear lilac holo and a little lighter than DS Original.  I didn't put on a topcoat on out of fear of dulling the holo, but the OPI DS holos dry with a nice shine unlike some holographic polishes.  Hope you enjoy!

Clarins 230

I have had a string of bad luck lately, first my macbook screen decided to quit working and then I ripped my nail so badly that I had to nubbinize my nails even shorter than I am used to.  Oh well, I decided to wear the crowning glory of my nail polish collection to make me feel better.  I present to you  Clarins 230, also known as Unicorn Pee in the nail polish world.  It is best used as a layering polish, so I decided to layer it over three coats of OPI Do You Think I'm Tex-y.  I mostly see it layered over a purple base, but I decided to try something a little different.   How do you like this combo?

You can see the shrinkage that Seche Vite caused on the tips of my nails.  Even so, I ended up wearing this mani for five days.   

I also decided to finally order from Rescue Beauty Lounge.  I ended up getting Scrangie, Pizzicato, and Moxie.  I will share the gorgeous Moxie today.  It is a frosty white that has a candlelit yellow glow.  It is pretty unique and I received a few compliments while wearing it.
