China Glaze Bohemian Luster Chrome, Fall 2012

This is the first time I purchased an entire collection. But how can anyone blame me... who doesn't love a good duochrome? 

First is "Swanky Silk," a gold to pink polish.

Next is "Unpredictable," a mint green to slightly darker green duochrome.

This is "Rare & Radiant," a dark gold to murky green and probably the most duped shade of the season after Chanel's Perdiot from Fall 2011. 

Here we have "Deviantly Daring," a peacock blue/green/turquoise shade.

Lastly I have "Want My Bawdy," a dark blue duochrome.

I've done a few different nail art looks with this collection, the first being a Peacock look using only this collection and a black Milani striper. 

A few weeks ago CutePolish on youtube did a tutorial for a mermaid look that I tried out. For this I used all China Glaze polishes. the base on all the nails is "Rare & Radiant," the gradient on the two nails was made by sponging "Unpredictable" to the bottom half of the nail; concentrating the most on the tips, the glitter is "Pizzazz" and the stripes is "Glittering Garland."

Orly Winter Collections

My Orly collection is not as big as it probably should be, but I love the few I have. Coincidentally  3 out of the 4 are from winter collections and pretty similar shades.

The first I have to show today is "Winter Wonderland" from T'is the Season 2010. This is a white glass fleck. The photo below is three coats.

Next up is "Au Champagne" from Holiday Soirée 2011. This is a shimmery white that is not to stark, but still is clean and refreshing to look at.

The last polish (and also the accent nail on the picture above) is "Halo" from Naughty or Nice 2012. This is a fine grain champagne gold glitter with slightly larger silver glitter. I love the mixture of the silver and gold together. Its flashy without being too 'in your face.'
