Falling in Color

 Ah, the beauty of Fall! It's like a fireworks show done in reds, yellows, orange, and a dash of green!


Starting on my left hand I painted all but my ring finger...

L. A. Colors Color Craze Nail Polish with hardenersNP422 Lighting
   When I bought this polish I thought it was a neon pink. Later I realized it's more a hot coral nearly orange. What get me is the color's name in "Lighting" .... Why? If you have a clue please comment, I just can't think of any reason this color is named "Lighting"!
    This color is a little sheer. You might want to do an extra coat. At only a $1 or $2 so it's worth it!

    My ring finger adds a touch of green! I really have a soft spot for this color and top it off it's GLITTER! A very fine metallic glitter. Pure Ice is a good lower cost polish around $2. It looks like the higher price polishes. Some you might can even call dupes. :-)

Sephora by O.P.I Top Coat "I Found My Pot of Gold" 12023AGV SE 459 +Sephora +OPI Products
   I topped the look off with a top coat on my thumb and pinky.
    Sorry, this in a discontinued polish made in partnership between Sephora and O.P.I. It's still out there if you look for it. Check the internet. Big Lots is another good place to find this kind of stuff.
    This polish is a little strange. It's clear with small gold glitter... then there are large diamond shaped holographic glitter in silver.

Pure Ice Nail Polish #001 "Glow in the Dark"
    Not often I type in #001. I guess this is their first color? LOL... Anyway, I like to wear glow in the dark polish around Halloween. Here I used a new bottle of Pure Ice, a brand I like about $2. They had a number of colors this year for Halloween. Several glowed. I went for the clear'ish that you can use a top coat. It works!

Repeat on right hand in any order you please. Found a bag of these in a clearance bin at Big Lots! Gave them a try, Yummy :-) +Big Lots

A Nail by Any Other Color


 



Ever wanted to paint each nail a different color?
DO IT!
______________________

My rule for this project. Red on the right hand. Green on the left


Flower by Drew Barrymore Nail'd It Nail Lacquer
NP24 Evening Primrose
Starting off is a dark/dull green. I find it a weird color really. Not a color I would up and say "I'm painting all my nails this color!" But I do use it when I'm getting creative like with Camo Nails. Primrose does have sparkles but more a hint of them rather then really calling this a glitter polish.

Revlon Color Stay Long wearing Nail Enamel
220 Rain Forest
I found a dupe!!! I first had Glitzy Green by Salon Perfect then I found this bottle of Rain Forest at a really good price. I didn't realize that they were both the same color until doing this! You get what you pay for though. Revlon only takes two coats to the three Salon Perfect needed to look the same. I just checked their website and they no longer seem to carry Color Stay Long Wearing. Looks like they have a Gel polish taking it's place.

SP Salon Perfect Professional Nail Laquer
309 Glitzy Green
This is a dupe. Read above on Revlon's Rain Forest.

Such a pretty color and oh so glittery! Pure Ice not to bad of a brand. Not ultra long lasting but fair. this took about 2 to 3 coats.

Again Pure Ice and this in a stunning red. Reminds me of Dorothy's slippers in The Wizard of Oz. I've also seen a dupe of this I believe in Salon Perfect. I bought it in Pure Ice because it was cheaper.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear Nail Color
240 Twisted Pink
You can hardly go too wrong with Sally Hansen. I can't find this color on their website. I bought it a year ago.

I normally take Wet n' Wild over LA Colors but I saw this color and wanted it! Neon Pink! It almost has a orange color to it. I like colors that just jump out at you like this. The polish it's self is pretty good. Not bad for a $1 bottle of polish!

Flower has a strange mix of colors in my opinion. This one is a flesh-tone pink. One thing about Flower is that of all the polishes I used here, it is the longest lasting. So if you like the colors I would recommend it. It does have a thicker consistency so it can be a little harder to get is on the nail looking perfect.
