Above the Curve Kahuna

Hey all!  How is everyone?  Things around here have been completely insane hence the erratic posting.  My oldest son made the all star baseball team and they are practicing everyday for 3+ hours.  Which means I'm spending all my evenings and nights sitting in the 110 degree heat on the side of a ball field instead of writing up posts for you all.  Anyway today I have Above the Curve Kahuna.  It's a very subtle holo blue.  The formula was good, two coats for perfect coverage.  I added dots using Color Club Eternal Beauty and Barielle Night Moves.  I liked this mani but didn't love it.  Both pictures were taken in slightly overcast conditions so the holo is hard to see.

Sadly Kahuna didn't wear well on me.  It chipped in less than a day using my regular base and topcoats.  What do you think?  Are you a holo lover?  I like the really subtle ones mostly but a good holo pedi is alway fun here where it's so sunny.  I'm going to leave you with one last picture of my all star baseball player.

Isn't he cute?  Have a great day!

Zoya Thandie

Hello!  Today I have a Zoya polish that I almost passed up on thinking it was just another orange.  I'm happy to say that I went ahead and got it (obviously) and it's not just any old orange.  This beauty is Zoya Thandie from the new summer collection.  Thandie is a gorgeous creamy orange that dries slightly darker than in the bottle.  It's a very nice bright color without being a neon.  This is three coats of Thandie with topcoat.  My accent nail is Above the Curve Sunset Skies, an orange jelly base with glitters in it.

I'm quite in love with this orange.  It's just so lovely.  Have you picked up any polishes lately that you were undecided on but ended up loving?  I hope you all have a lovely Thursday.  I'm off to go watch my sisters graduate high school tonight.  Sadly they are at two different schools so our family had to split up between the two grad ceremonies.

Above the Curve Oh The Who-manity

Hey lovelies and happy Saturday!  Are you all done with your Christmas shopping?  I am thanks to a late night outing with a friend last night.  Now I just have to wrap them.  I hate wrapping things.  I usually try to bribe Mr. MLiP to do it.  Today I have a polish from a new to me indie line.  This is Oh The Who-manity.  It is a white based polish with red and green glitter in multiple sizes.  What's cool about this polish is it has a pink shimmer that you can really see in most lighting.  This polish is super sheer so even after three coats I still had crazy visible nail line.  I was lost on what to layer it over because usually when you layer these type of polishes over white they loose all their squishiness.  So I finally landed on Zoya Zeenat for my base color.  This may not be for everyone but I really liked the final result.  My mani was this weird pinky/grayish color.  A bit odd just like me :)  This is two coats of Who-manity over two coats of Zeenat.  It has great glitter payoff and everything laid flat on my nails.
