Essie No More Film + CND Copper Shimmer, Piu Mossoish

Hi! I tried to recreate one of my big lemmings here - RBL's Piu Mosso (which is coming back in november - yay) No More Film is  a deep blurple purple - it's really more purple. I was so excited - on my camera it actually looked like I got pics of it looking purple but when I uploaded the pics it is blueeeeee. Of course.

Here is 2 coats of it solo - it has a perfect creme formula, but don't be messy! or you will spend half your life cleaning up like me.

more like that ^ ?

Okay so Piu Mosso is BLUE, but I tried this with No More Film's Essie sister Bobbing for Baubles which is actually a deep dusty navy but it just didn't look as nice..and once you get the copper shimmer over No More Film it looks blue...like my pics. sigh.

1 coat of copper shimmer

Way more of a tribute than a dupe...still will grab the real thing in the fall, but I love this combo! Obsessed with all things copper polish. Here are nailsandnom's swatches of the real beauty Piu Mosso. 

NOTD Zoya Elodie

Loving Zoya Elodie! I've had this on for 3 days now..slightly unheard of. I did add another coat + tc to refresh it for pics..it was looking a little beat because I filed with it on, otherwise wearing very well. Coming off tonight though.. bored bored bored.

I would call it kind of a hot watermelon color - it's pinky/orange. Definitely a nice squishy jelly!

sun & shade pic! the lighting off my back porch is..strange.

squeeesh.

Zoya Sooki + Sticks N Stones (and pocketchange feature!)

 Hi! Happy Sunday :) Before I post my mani I wanted to share a link, my blog was recently featured on Pocketchange's Best of the Web series. Pocketchange is a nice shopping directory blog that also does features on cool niche blogs. I've had a fun time checking all the different blogs out and I am honored they wanted to feature me! So check it out if you are a blogoholic like me :)

Onto the polish - today I have Zoya Sooki. Sooki is an awesome bright cherry red. Totally neutral and would look great on anyone.

2 coats

soo bright.

My nails are reallyyy growing quickly.. this was like 2 weeks ago! They're much longer atm. I believe in biotin! Anyway, I had to slap some Sticks N Stones on. The formula seems to really vary with SnS.. I got an awful thick goopy bottle of it. I thinned it a bunch and it still just is a giant bottle of glob. Mine also lacks the large hex glitter :( Still is adorable though!

and just to complain again.. those paper labels are terrible!! ruined it when I was dripping thinner in the bottle. If you haven't ruined your ninja polish labels yet I recommend laminating them with some tape asap! I was too late :(

ORLY - Preamp

Hi! Spotted the ORLY Electronica collection out at my Sally's the other day. This is the only one I was really interested in - the rest of it is kind of a yawn. (those bottle shots are kind of deceiving... the duochome looks real frosty and i remember that teal just looking GREY but maybe I am nuts) Preamp is a purple-y pink with a pink and golden duochome shimmer. Formula was nice and smooth, needed 3 coats for full opacity.

looks like some shrinkage! :(

Lynnderella - Nosegay

LOLynnderella. Omg. Not going to even go there with the recent dramatics. I will just say I am not a fan of her personality. Don't have to be though, right? I do love this glitter. I finally got my wishlist items from march  last week. I do love them.. and was planning on putting in another wishlist. We'll see!

Nosegay is a mix of square & small purple glitter, lilac hexes and a nice subtle blue shimmer that runs through  a milky lilac base. This is the one I was most excited about and it's definitely the favorite. I have it here over Butter London Muggin's from my last post.. they're a perfect match!

2 coats over Muggins
