On Wednesdays We Wear Pink: OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

It's Pink Wednesday again! So why do I have a color with lavender in the name? Isn't lavender purple? Ya, well I thought so too, but folks, this is pink to me. So here it is on Wednesday breaking lavender stereotypes.

So as stated, this is  OPI's Lucky Lucky Lavender which debuted with the Hong Kong collection I believe. I won this polish from the lovely Jessica, thanks Jessica! To me there's no question that this is a pink nail polish. It's purple toned, sure, but it's totally not purple to me.  It's really a pretty shade of pink. I think this is one of the most flattering shades of pink I own. I am sure it's because it does lean a bit purple and purples are my all time favorite!

The formula on this one is great. I need two coats for maximum opacity. The polish went on smooth with no balding or streaking.  It's a fabulous creme.

 

So it's pink right? 

What are you wearing on this lovely Pink Wednesday?

China Glaze: Blue Iguana

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Back to the grind today though. It's dreary here today. It's supposed to rain all freekin' week. How annoying!!!

Today I want to share one of the colors from the China Glaze Island Escape summer collection. This is Blue Iguana.  It's a shimmery, semi-sheer, turquoise color. It's bright and fun!

The formula on this one is not my favorite. It's pretty sheer so that  annoys me a bit. The photos are three coats of polish and you can see some VNL is still apparent.  This polish would be so lovely if it was more opaque.  

So what do you think of this one? Do you need it in your life. Have you had better luck with opacity?

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink! Zoya: Areej

Good morning everyone! I thought it was time for me to join the fun other nail bloggers are having with Pink Wednesdays! I love this idea and I am making it a goal  to keep up with it! I don't favor pinks so this will make me go for them more often. Make sure you check out all of the amazing bloggers participating in this!!!!

The pink I chose today is Areej by Zoya.  Zoya describes this color as: "Soft, muted cool fuchsia pink with an opaque cream finish. A pink for when you want a bold pop of color but not something neon-bright."  To me it's a slightly purple toned pink, I can totally see the reference to the fuchsia. 

This creme is extremely opaque. In fact, you can get  away with just one coat. My index finger in the photo is just one coat because I had to fix it before work this morning. I went to bed right after painting my nails last night and the sheet left indents! I hate when that happens. They're in the middle finger too but I couldn't be bothered to fix that.  But you can see, looking at the index  finger, that this color is insanely opaque. I love that! A + in that category for sure. Even though it's super pigmented the formula is just right, not too thicks. Sometimes really opaque colors are a nightmare to deal with, not this one. 

I apologize for the indoor natural light photos, we haven't had much sun when I am able to paint!!! I know the outdoor photos come out much better.

So what do you think of this pink? Would you rock it on a Wednesday? What are you wearing today!
