Enchanted Castle on a Cloud

This is an OOPS! post.

Have you ever had a hard time telling 2 colors apart, even when you see swatches? That is what happened to me with Enchanted Ice Castle and Castle on a Cloud. For some reason,on my laptop monitor, they both looked like they had some blue/purple in them. I knew Castle on a Cloud had some pink in it but I didn't think it would look really pale on me.

I swatched it- in a gradient over Kids, and on my thumb over black, but it doesn't seem to look the same on me as it does on other people.

So this actually resulted in my first swap! In a few days I should have my first Aly's Dream Polish- a nice seafoam green color, which is a much more "me" color.

(this just picked up all the tons of holo because my bathroom light is very glarey- still a cool picture)

I think this one is much more color accurate: (the lines are from me putting the Castle on a Cloud between Kids and some glitter, but it just blends right in)

So what do you think? Do any of you have Castle on a Cloud? Does it look like this on you? Does it look similar to other swatches you've seen, or is my monitor just really messed up?

Bellskandi Plumberry & a ring!

Well I finally have another mouse, although it isn't pretty and purple like my other one.

I always tend to get overexcited about trends and want to BUY ALL THE COLORS (well, all the shades of blue, green, and purple.)

I love thermal polish and I wasn't able to get the Dance Legend thermo glitter that went from white to black and had silver glitter- but I did come across a review of Bellskandi Plumberry, which was described as going from blue to purple- and she also makes matching jewelry!

Well, I was just experimenting with different polishes and I was really excited that the ring really does change color. So does the polish. It is sheer though, so if you have any cracks or imperfections in your nails they will show. I had a big crack in my Infamous Wonky Nail that shows in my 2nd picture- but you can also see how the thermal polish created a gradient effect.

Ok- pinky-thumb

I had various purples and some stars from the Born Pretty store (part of a contest entry you will see later)- ring is Enchanted Kids, middle finger is Picture Polish Violet Femme with the Bellskandi Plumberry on top and some Ninja Polish nebula on the tip and my index finger has Plumberry over January Morning by Girly Bits.

Blue tint when cold

Purple Tint when warm

(my thumb also has some leftover glitter I tried on)- I think it's Darling Diva Blue on Black. I just dabbed a little on, because my boyfriend said that it looked like cookies and cream in the bottle and I was trying to show him that the glitter was actually blue! 

Enchanted & Rainbow Honey

Here is another catch-up post for you!

I finally got a couple of polishes from the Enchanted Time to Pretend collection! I am wearing Kids in this one and I am very impressed by it!'

I also got a beautiful Rainbow Honey color called Sakura Matsuri. This is the first Rainbow Honey color I have ever had. The flowers really sucked me in.

I did a green gradient on my ring finger before layering the Rainbow Honey over it, but it was a hot mess. I used a dark green base color, then Darling Diva What You Do For Money Honey (I tried that by itself first, but it is very sheer) and on the tip of my nail I used NFU  056- a very bright green, pretty glitter.

The flowers came out too fast when I was working on my ring finger! They remind me of a beaded curtain pattern like on the cover of one of Britney Spears' old albums. (ew I'm showing my age now.) But can anyone see the resemblance?
