Rainbow Favorites: Purple

Hello and happy Friday!  I'm so happy the weekend is almost here.  Lots of fun things going on this weekend.  We are going to a banquet that my husbands work puts on for kids moving on to the next grade.  The kids get trophies and prizes.  It's cool to see people celebrating academics.  On Sunday we have a 4th of July party.  Big fun!  Anyway today in the Rainbow Favorites challenge is purple.  I have a love/hate relationship with purples.  I like them I just don't usually love them.  This is two coats of Zoya Dannii.  Zoya does these sparkly colors so well.  This is one purple that I really do love.  My runner ups were Zoya Zara and OPI Grape, Set, Match.

I completely forgot to announce the Icing Tiger's Blood giveaway winner.  The winner was Jen Sky Walker!  Yay Jen!

See you tomorrow with the last color of our Rainbow Challenge, pink.

Rainbow Favorites: Blue

Picking a favorite blue was super hard.  I have lots of blues.  Orly Sweet Peacock is so stunning it just had to be shown today.  This polish freaked my camera out so bad though.  Sweet Peacock is a foil with a great two coat formula.  On my ring finger I did China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara.  I love this combo.

Sorry this post is so late today.  I'll be back tomorrow morning with purple.

Rainbow Favorites: Green

Today in the Rainbow Challenge is green.  I have and love lots of greens.  I choose Essie Pretty Edgy to show you because it was one of my gateway polishes.  Originally I bought a mini of this and Demure Vixen.  I decided I love them both so much I bought them in full size and gave the minis to my sister.  Pretty Edgy has some formula issues but I just love the color so much I'll over look them.  This is three coats of green gorgeousness.

What is your favorite green?  Another green I love is Mojito Madness.  Luckily it has none of the formula issues of this polish.  Down below is a list of everyone else that is doing the challenge.

Rainbow Favorites: Yellow

Welcome to day three of the Rainbow Favorites challenge.  I have even fewer yellows than I do reds.  This is three coats of Zoya Pippa.  Two coats still made it look all streaky.  Three was pretty much perfect.  My accent nail is China Glaze Snow Globe.  The light colored glitter just goes so well with the yellow.

I've really enjoyed this challenge so far.  I've discovered a bunch of new blogs and am loving all the comments.  The list of bloggers participating is down below.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow with green.

Rainbow Favorites: Orange

Happy Monday!  Today in the Rainbow Favorites challenge is orange.  I have a lot more oranges than I do reds, so I had a few more to choose from.  This is China Glaze Orange Marmalade.  It's pretty thin and this is three coats.  The sun picture shows a bunch of VNL but in real life it didn't look that bad.

I just love the shiny, juiciness of it so much.  So what is your all time favorite orange polish?  Have a great day and I'll be back tomorrow with yellow.  Below is a list of all the blogs participating.

Rainbow Favorites: Red

Good morning everyone!  Bec from Lacquer Dreams came up with a fun little challenge, Rainbow Favorites.  Each day this week you will see my favorite polish from a color or the rainbow.  I've never done a challenge before so I thought this would be fun.  Plus we can look at it as a weeks worth of Shop My Stash posts because I've worn all of these before.  I know a lot of the other bloggers participating are doing nail art along with their colors but I major suck at art so I'm probably just going to show you some of my favorite colors.

Today is Red.  Now I think I actually own only 4 red polishes and they are all sparkly.  I just don't care for red creams at all.  Maybe you guys can suggest some of your favorites so I can check them out.  Today's red is Zoya Kimmy.  Isn't she so pretty?  This is two coats of sparkly red goodness.  The formula was great as usual.

There are a lot of bloggers doing this but I don't have a list as of right now.  If you click on Lacquer Dreams I bet she has a list on her red post.  Have a great day and see you tomorrow with orange.

Shop My Stash Saturday China Glaze

Good Morning!  I have a quick Shop My Stash post for you today.  I used these colors the other day as a base for my King Triton mani.  The darker color is China Glaze Wagon Trail from the Rodeo Diva Collection.  I adore this color.  A dark olive with pretty golden shimmer.  The formula for me was really good.  Two even coats.  There is no topcoat used in these photos.  My ring finger is China Glaze Fast Track from the Hunger games collection.  Again this is two super easy coats with no topcoat.  I bought Fast Track because I figured I should own a neutral color or two in my collection.  This surprised me in how much I actually like it.  I think I just like anything shimmery.  

I hope you all have a great weekend.  As for me I get to work tonight and run errands today in 110+ degree heat.  Yay!  Feel free to add your own sarcasm to that yay :)

Shop My Stash Sunday~ Zoya Dove

Sun

I have a quick Shop My Stash post for you today.  I used Zoya Dove in my last post as underwear for my E=MC^2 mani.  The pictures show two coats of Dove with no topcoat.  This is a gorgeous light gray cream.  Great Zoya formula like usual.  It looks a little uneven in the sun shot but topcoat would take care of that.  I've actually worn this color several times.  It makes a great base for newspaper manicures.

Shade

Are you a Zoya lover too?  What's your favorite Zoya color?

Shop My Stash Sunday

Hi Everyone!  I finally have another Shop My Stash post.  I know it's been a while.  This is China Glaze Gothic Lolita.  Isn't she pretty?  I've worn this a couple of times now and I still love it so much.  This is two coats and topcoat.  I've been trying out a new topcoat called Hong Kong Girl and I freakin' love it.  It's not 3-free but I know many people use Seche Vite so that my not be a bother.  It dries quickly and wears like iron.  The biggest difference for me is SV caused shrinkage with almost every nail polish I wore.  HK Girl hasn't caused any shrinkage for me at all.  I've been using it about a month now.  I ordered mine through a company called Glisten & Glow.  You can click here to go check it out.  G & G does customizable lotions, body wash, cuticle oil and so much more, including selling nail polish.  Last I checked HK Girl was $5+shipping.

Hope you've all had a great weekend!

Shop My Stash Sunday

Good morning everyone!

So I've realized that I keep buying new polish and hardly ever go back and revisit polishes I've loved in the past. I think that in order to use some of my poor, neglected pretties, I'm going to do a Shop My Stash post every couple of weeks. The plan is to go through the colors I have worn and pick out one that I loved and have been wanting to wear again. Today I have Zoya Harley to show you. I needed a quick mani the other day and Harley was the perfect choice. Harley is a light gray color with a very pretty shimmer. The top photo is in full sun and the bottom one is in the shade. Check it out!

I'm hoping to do a Shop My Stash post every other weekend but no guarantees. I invite all of you to shop you stash as well. I'd love to see some of your favorites colors from the past. Feel free to leave me a link to your posts in the comments. Hope you are all having a great Sunday.

Sara
