Claire's: Periwinkle
Hey everyone! At the mall during CTY, I bought three nail polishes, two from Claire's and one from Sephora. =] This is one I bought from Claire's called Periwinkle. To tell you the truth, I thought it was going to be a obvious duochrome, except it's actually a blue-ish purple base with tons of sparkle. The sparkles are duochrome, turning blue to purple. I had to use four coats, but I really like this color!

My Manicure!
Hey everyone! Well, at CTY, we went to the mall, and guess what, I got a manicure there! I wasn't especially happy with the service, but I liked the finished effect. =] I layered this sparkly light blue over a darker metallic hue. (This is what I mean by a short post. ;] )

Zoya Tallulah
Hey everyone! Today I have Zoya Tallulah to show you guys. It's from the Ooh-La-La Collection, which is one of the 2009 Summer collections.
Anyways, Tallulah is a GORGEOUS color! It's this shimmer-y blue that seems like it has a ton of depth. It's like looking into a never ending lake or river. However, it was more runny than I excepted, so please excuse the messy manicure.
Also, I introduced the Acrylic Concept a few weeks ago. Well, today, I finally tested it out. Acrylic is actually fairly easy to work with. All you need is the paint and a small brush. The brush will make or break you, just saying. =]. If you mess up, all you have to do is wash it off quickly, because once it dries it doesn't come off. Overall, I think I'll do more with acrylic.
In the picture, it shows Tallulah darker than it is in real life. (this picture stinks, and I will redo it sometime later, =]) Tallulah is lighter and slightly more vibrant than in the picture. On my ring finger, I experimented with acrylic. Can't say that it's the best design, but I was trying to figure out how to work the brush so that it would look good on the nail. XD
P.S. Another bonus is that Zoya Nail Polishes last for a really long time! It stayed on for an entire week, and that's a long time considering most of my manicures start chipping after three or four days.
