China Glaze Tart-y for the Party



Hello!  A few weeks ago I was in my favorite little hole in the wall nail supply store perusing the China Glaze racks and I picked up this purple that looked interesting.  I seem to be quite taken with all the pretty light purple/lavender polishes lately.  I had never heard of the name (not that I know all the polish names) so I decided to take a risk and get it.  When I got home and googled it I found it was from CG's spring collection, Avant Garden, that hasn't been released yet.  I went back to the supply store but he doesn't have any others from this collection.  This is Tart-y for the Party, a lovely lavender cream.  The formula was great.  Two coats and it was perfectly opaque and even.  There may be dupes out there but I don't own many purple creams so I am dupe free on this one.  I added a black accent on the side of each nail using tape and a black polish.  I really liked this mani a lot.  I will definitely be doing more side accents like this in the future.

You can see on my pinky that I didn't wait long enough before topcoating the black polish and it smeared a bit.  Not particularly noticeable in real life but photos bring out all the imperfections.  I hope you enjoyed today's nails.  What is your favorite way to do an accent nail?

*I bought this polish while out shopping with my sisters.  They also like to see how many bottles we can hold at one time before they start dropping.*

  1. I CANNOT wait for this collection to come out. This has to be the collection I am most looking forward to since I got into polishes last spring/ summer. I am envious that you happened upon one so early!!
