Absolutely been way too long since my last post. I have so many ideas and things I want to write and review, it's overwhelming. I've been very distracted as of late. New secret relationships can really take a lot of your time! Plus I've been spending much of my every waking hour gathering items for Sims Social... such an addiction.
Anyway, not going to bore you all with the details. Here are some back logged nail pictures I found in my hard drive. A nice winter vs. summer nail juxtaposition collection.

| Butter London's Lady Muck - 1 Coat |
Here's a cool tone wintery nail color that I loved,
Button London's Lady Muck, a murky blue-grey color. The color looks a little gloomy, so it'll probably be my winter choice, unfortunately not suitable in a professional work environment. This is one of my first Butter London polishes and they were super easy to apply and dry.This lasted longer than the Fairy Lights that I tried.

| Zoya's MIA - 1 Coat |
Here's a more work-friendly nail polish -
Zoya's MIA. It's a neutral mauve pink that leans on the sheer side. Shown here with 1 coat only. Dries fast, but wears away from the tips without top coat pretty quickly. Doesn't last more than 1 day without the wearing off.

| Essie's Muchi Muchi (2 coats) & Hello Kitty in Blueberry (1 coat) |
One day I felt like being a little more "daring" and decided to paint my nails in 2 different colors.
Essie's Muchi Muchi is a super sheer and needs at least 2 coats for opaqueness. But it's a classic baby pink that's perfect for spring so it's a keeper for me. Paired with the most gorgeous pacific blue color from
Hello Kitty's Blueberry. The Hello Kitty nail polish was from my Sephora haul a year or so back. One coat, as you can see, is still very streaky. This polish will require 2 coats, but the color payoff is magnificent.

| Revlon's Sheer Nude (1 coat), Milani's Nail Art in White Canvas, and Butter London's Tart with a Heart |
Switching gears back to an office-friendly French manicure. This time I added a little bling to my normal French tip with
Butter London's Tart with a Heart. This Butter London nail polish has a sheer pink base with multiple glitter particles in various shapes and colors, would probably look very weird alone (I haven't tried that yet), but looks really nice layered on top of a opaque color. I dotted my normal French tip with a toothpick, super easy, and super quick.

| Revlon's Color Stay in Marmalade |
Revlon came out with a new line of nail polish called ColorStay which claims to last up to 11 days as long as you use their top and base coat. I'm not too crazy for long lasting color for THAT long, but I was drawn to this bright orange coral in
Maramalade. They are very pricey compare to the regular line, these run up to $11. They lasted quite a while on me, but as you can see, they also wear off pretty quickly at the tips. But overall, a perfect summer POP of color.
=) That's it for the nails, hopefully my other reviews will be up soon!
nail polishes that are currently still on sale 
Collection from Sephora. Packaging of the Hello Kitty nail polish is soo cute! Here's a stock photo from Sephora's website
for $20 ($41.50 value). The set is a special Valentine's Limited Edition, includes a blush and 2 lip glosses. The blush is a very nice peach/pink color with a Valentine's Hearts candy embossed design. The candy hearts have a very very thin layer of gold shimmer.
