Old and New - China Glaze Blue Fox & W7 Envy


Hey polish fiends!

Today I have a vintage China Glaze to start off today's post - Blue Fox. I'm a sucker for a great vintage China Glaze and this dusty greyish/blue shimmer polish was gifted from a ways back from the ever-mentioned Jacqui. I LOVE this shades they used to make back in the day! I love the subtle frostiness as well. The formula was running as these tend to be, but three thin coats and this baby was evened out! (Despite a little visible brush strokes...)





Next up I have another polish from my swap from the ever so amazing Esther. She is one of the sweetest girls I've met through polish to date and  her blog is pure genius. Check her out! In the meantime I have W7's Envy to share! Reminds me of a bit of Zoya's Charla and it's dupe counterparts yet I feel it lends its own twist to the mix. Envy is a great blue jelly with great shimmer swimming within.The shimmer really blows me away with this one. Two coats.




Enjoy your day! -Dana

Old and New: Vintage Cutex Shine On polish in Cashmere & W7 Nail Polish in Metallic Saturn

TGIF!

Only two days left in good old Ohio... sure going to miss this place! Time sure does fly when you're on vacation and visiting the ones you love. Goes way too fast! I can't believe the amount of polish I've accumulated so far and I still haven't gone to my meet-up yet. :P Today I have a vintage polish that certainly isn't beautiful/unique in a stand-out way - but I found it at the thrift store and it's the oldest Cutex bottle I've ever seen. For 45 cents, adding a gallon of thinner is a piece of cake. Here is Cashmere.


Cashmere is an orange-toned nude polish. As I mentioned, I had to add SO MUCH Seche Restore to get it to be wearable. I'm SUCH A sucker for vintage polishes, I'd go as far as to say I've grown obsessed. I may not love this color, but the bottle as old as it is drew me in and has me hunting for more! This is two coats.


<3 it's vintage look!

Next up I have yet ANOTHER new brand I got to try during my swap with the lovely Esther. I had seen W7 polishes and their amazing colors on fellow nail blogs, and was so excited when she had chosen Metallic Saturn for me. Thanks again, girl! My being a HUGE green polish nut, I almost fell over when I unwrapped this bad boy. GREEN?!? METALLIC?!? DUOCHROME?!?! AGHH!!!!!



These kind of gold-toned green metallic polishes are among my FAVORITES!!!!! JUST LOOK AT IT!!! It just freaking glows, girls! I wish I had enough of Metallic Saturn to swim in. Seriously. Well not really. Kinda weird if you think about it, really. I can't tell you enough how amazing this polish is. It's stunning in pictures, but in person - watch out. This is two coats.  



I could just die.
