Wet N Wild 2% Milk

So after wearing Bite The Bullet, I had to head out and see what other Megalast polishes were out there. I was very intrigued about the nice off white creaminess that is 2% Milk so I decided for $2 I could give it a shot. And I love it far more than I could have anticipated. This is three coats, it looks a little more opaque in real life but I definitely still see my nail line. It's a fantastic palate cleanser, especially considering how blah I've felt about a lot of the colors I've worn lately. It feels clean and elegant and refined. I love it.
Any other Megalast polishes I should go looking for? I'm loving everything about this line right now.

Sally Hansen Parchment

I picked up this polish after I saw it on Stephanie of Short 'n Chic wear it. She used it for a glitter sandwich with OPI Rainbow Connection, a glitter I love but hadn't been able to figure out how to wear. This is three coats and there is a very visible nail line. It's definitely a great polish for anyone who enjoys/has to wear nudes. This is my first from the Complete Salon Manicure line and I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the brush or not. For most of my fingers, it made it so so much easier. My pinkie was another story altogether. I struggled to not let the polish pool in my cuticle. It won't deter me from buying any more from the brand though.

China Glaze Dress Me Up

Continuing the fact that I was so freaking uninspired by my polish, I just moved onto another Hunger Games polish, Dress Me Up. It's supposed to be a dusty rose. There's a little peach in there but a lot more brown than I expected. It's very much a mauve color. I'm not in love with this color but I don't dislike it. It's a decent nude but certainly not my favorite nude so far. Two coats, Essie Grow Stronger underneath and OPI topcoat on the top. Some severe bubbling especially on my thumb. Overall, a nice color but the bubbling makes me eager to take this off.
I'm not so uninspired by my polish any more! I want to swatch the last Hunger Games polish I have. I also just picked up two polishes from Zoya's summer collection (and I'm eager to snap up the rest). I also chose two of the OPI Spiderman polishes and they are supposedly Chanel dupes! So lots of new posts on the way!

China Glaze Foie Gras

I was feeling so uninspired by my polish when I picked this. Nothing was even whispering pick me. So I figured let's go with a neutral. Something basic to help clear my head and let me find what it is in my stash that I'm actually looking for. So this is Foie Gras from the Hunger Games collection (or Capital Colors if you prefer). It's a purple/grey/brown color. It's pulling much more brown and lighter in this pic. I swear this is a kissing cousin of China Glaze Below Deck. BD is much lighter than FG but I love both. ALU called this Below Deck after dark, which is the best way to say it. Anyways, 2 coats, OPI base coat and top coat which are my absolute favorites lately.
I need to find something to inspire me. Maybe I'll try posting my last two Hunger Games polishes next, while I wait for inspiration to strike.

China Glaze Fast Track

So this is Fast Track from the Hunger Games collection from China Glaze. And that's my phone because when I decided to take pics I was in the car and didn't have the bottle with me. I wore this for a long time before I got around to taking pictures but it held up well. This is 2 coats with OPI Top Coat on top and I LOVED it. I don't know if you can tell but there is a slight VNL but when I did 3 coats on my other hand I just didn't like it as much opaque. It's just a really nice subtle nude color with the prettiest gold shimmer. I didn't have any chipping, just tip wear and obvious growth. But I don't think it will last until I actually get to see the movie this Friday. I'm just ready for a change and none of the other Hunger Games polishes are calling to me at the moment so I'm probably not going to end up wearing any themed polish to the movie. Oh well.
