ELECTRIC CORAL COMPARISONS

Yesterday I told you all that I thought I might have a dupe for Billie - Electric Coral. The one I had in mind was Superstar - Orangu an A-Lister. When I pulled down my "orange" shoebox though, I found another one that was sort of close, so I decided to compare it too. The third one is Finger Paints - Coral Compliment.



You can really see just how close Orangu An A-Lister and Electric Coral are. I can't really see that much difference between the two, as far as bottle pics. I could tell that Coral Compliment was going to be darker though.


INDEX- SuperStar Orangu An A-Lister
MIDDLE - Billie Electric Coral
RING - Finger Paints Coral Compliment




I would classify the SuperStar and Billie to be dupes. What do you guys think?

OPULENT CLOUD & ELECTIC CORAL

This is the last day I think we are going to have sunshine for a while, so I really wanted to get Sally Hansen's Opulent Cloud swatched with full sun pics for you. Check - goal complete!! I applied three coats and a top coat of Nubar Diamont fast drying top coat.



INSIDE WITH FLASH:





INSIDE, NO FLASH



OUTSIDE, FULL SUNLIGHT





I also painted my nails for the day with Billie - Electric Coral. This color was just screaming for me to put it on. I think this might be similar to another color that I already have, so I might be able to get some comparison pics later tonight to make sure. Isn't this color just so pretty though? It really changed in color from regular inside lighting to using my flash. However, they both sort of represent this color. The inside pics don't allow it to show just how bright it is, but it is truer to color representation. However, the flash pics really show the brightness of the color, but tends to make it appear more orange than it really is.

SOME NEW GOODIES!

Yesterday I had two wonderful packages delivered to me. The first one came from Beauty Judy. I had been looking for Sally Hansen HD in Opulent Cloud with no luck. She contacted me and said she could get me a bottle. When I offered to pay for it, she sent it to me out of the kindness of her own heart! How sweet is that? Not only did she send me OC, but she included one of her favorite glitter polishes and a sweet card. Thank you so much Judy!! I really appreciate all your hard work and thoughtfulness in this gift :)







My second box came from Deez Nailz. This one I was totally not expecting at all!! She just sent this one to me because, I guess! A while ago she sent me several Billie brand nail polishes, some really super bright babies! Well she sent me some more Billies and two different nail polishes. I was so shocked and delighted when i got this and opened it up. Thank you so much for this, what a wonderful surprise!







Thanks so much girls for these, I really appreciate them each so much!

TONE ON TONE ARGYLE

I did a quick little koni last night. I wanted to see what green on green would look like with the argyle pattern. I used Billie - Green for the base and konad sp in green for the stamp. I really liked how it turned out, but I think a lighter green color for the base would have worked better. This looked great in the flash pictures, but it wasn't nearly as noticeable in real life. I'm wondering if maybe Sinful - Irish Green would work as a better base color....


(btw, with two little yellow rhinestones stuck on each nail, I think I could have pulled off making them look like snakes!)

This one is a little blurry, but it was the only one I took with both bottles!

TAKE A DIVE IN MY NAILS

Doesn't it look like you really could? This polish is so juicy and shiny! This is a nail polish I got from DEEZ NAILZ. As far as we can tell this is strictly a Canada brand of nail polish. These polishes go for around a dollar, but they are pretty good. This is Billie - Blue. Yeah, I know, real creative there on the name! This does take several coats to reach this color, but they dry so quick it really isn't a problem at all. The pictures of this in the shade are the best, I think.

BILLIE - LIME

This is the third and last of my un-showns. I used Billie - Lime for the base. I had to use several coats of this, but it dries really quickly, so I don't mind having to apply several coats if I have the time. I love how shiny the polish ends up looking too. I then used my konad and stamped the Chinese letter/word on my nails in gold. This looked really cool in person, but it was hard to capture the flashy gold of the stamp by my lamp light.

DEF-COM 5 THREAT LEVEL RAISED!

Ok, I'm raising the blindness threat level UP to Def-Com 5 status. Who would have thought my nails would be a lethal weapon? What ever you do, don't look directly at my nails!!! This is a continuation from the previous post - I just went and took some outside shots! Just when you thought it couldn't get any brighter - IT DOES!
