China Glaze Party Foul

I love texture nail polish...concrete texture, sugar coats, fuzzy coats, pixie dust...I am in!  I was out picking up new nail files over the weekend last week when I stumbled into China Glaze's flocked collection.  LOVE IT!  I think the hardest part for me was trying to decide which pretty bottle was going to be coming home with my new nail files.  I settled on Party Foul, mainly because of the flecks of peach color in it.  

I did add top coat to it as I was afraid it was going to fleck off as I am incredibly hard  on my hands.  

PS-  I think this nail polish is lucky as it is the polish I had on when I found my wedding dress.  :)

Mani Cam with July Julep Box California Coast Collection

MANI CAM TIME!!!!!

Julep's California Collection for July was inspired by the colors of the coast...or as Julep puts it: "inspired by surf, sand, sunsets and the breathtaking natural beauty of the coastline."  I went with my It Girl Profile box this month.  Biggest reason for this choice?  Why, because there was a gorgeous texture polish of course!!  

Angela:  A deep sea blue molten

Nadia:  Sun-kissed golden frost

Tracy:  Sparkly ocean blue with a sea salt finish.

I really like Tracy.  It has a great sparkle, fine texture, and just the right amount of glitter to make this girl happy.

Nadia and Angela are not my particular favorites.  Both of them go on easily in two coats for maximum coverage.  Angela is actually pretty interesting in that when you first paint it on, it almost goes on as a flat black-brown color.  As it dries, the molten blue really pops out of it.   Nadia is a great yellow frost color that does shimmer nicely.  Both are just not colors I naturally gravitate towards.  But just watch, in a month they are going to be my new favorite colors!

Playing around with OPI Bond Girls Liquid Sand Collection

In the middle of gluttonous nail polish shopping one day, I found the box of sample bottles of OPI's new Bond Girls Liquid Sand Texture polishes.  Sadly, this was awhile ago and I never played with them. Until now...Well, sort of.  I have two from the set to explore right now.  I let my mom borrow Solitaire and Vesper.  So I will have a part two coming soon.

This glittery, orange pink texture polish is Jinx.  This one may just be my favorite of all of them.  It has a gold glitter sparkle mixed with the vibrant color.  I think that the contrasting glitter in a texture polish tends to give it more depth, but that may just be me.  

Pretty in pink is Pussy Galore.  If you like pink, this is your color!

I know I have said it before, and I will most likely say it again but I do love texture nail polish!  I am looking forward to seeing what fun things I can do with these Bond beauties.  The texture is rich with these nail polishes, with a fine grit and lots of sparkle.  

Work It! Wednesday: China Glaze Bump and Grind

Work It! Wednesday!

Today on the red carpet mani cam, we have a lovely texture nail polish.  Check out China Glaze Bump and Grind from their Texture Collection.  

Lovely bright pink texture polish that has a light grit to it.  The texture is similar to the Julep Sea Salt finish in that it has a bit of bumpy texture and grit to it, but it is still one dimensional in color.  It is still subtle enough that it won't get annoying for texture on your nails.  I do love me a texture nail polish and I have a feeling this one will become a quick favorite for summer.

WORK IT!!
