Essie - Fair Game

Fair Game is a slate blue/gray with a nice shimmer finish (but not too shiny for all you creme fans). The formula is smooth and you get great coverage in two coats. I love this on my toes, though it definitely makes an appearance on my nails from time to time.

Wet and Wild - Wild Card / OPI - You Don't Know Jacques

Wild Card on it's own is pretty sheer, it's great for layering and I love it over You Don't Know Jacques. I was trying to recreate what Chanel's Paradoxal looks like in the bottle (which is a lot more shimmery than it looks on a nail) and I think this is close enough.

Paradoxal on index and ring finger, Wild Card over YDKJ on middle and pinky.  I will have a better photos of just Paradoxal up soon. 

Sinful Colors - Happy Ending

Neon green with a yellow/gold shimmer. I'm usually not a neon green person, but I found the shimmer in this polish appealing. Overall a fun summer color. Goes on sheer, needs 3 coats.

Milani - Dress Maker

A Chanel - Jade dupe! I don't own Jade, but other polish bloggers have assured me this is close enough. Milani is blatantly knocking off designer polishes with their "Haute Value" collection. I'm all for this considering Jade currently sells for $100+ on eBay.

This was 3 coats and I have no complaints about the formula or application. Thank you Milani !

Sinful Colors - Rise and Shine

This color is gorgeous, but pretty much impossible to photograph. It's a teal green (much greener than blue, but there's definitely some blue in there) and has a very subtle shimmer. It comes across as soft in these photos, but in reality is a totally awesome vivid green. I think this might be my favorite summer polish so far! 

Formula was great for a $2 polish. Needed 3 coats to cover bare spots, but went on smooth enough that I didn't mind. It acts like a neon in that it dries very fast, matte, and photographs much duller than it is in real life, but I would not classify this color as a neon. You definitely need a top coat. 

OPI - Bastille My Heart

Here is OPI - Bastille My Heart, a nice deep cranberry shimmer. I purchased this as a present for my mom but couldn't help using it myself.

OPI - At Your Quebec and Call

This is a khaki/olive green with a gold shimmer and some copper micro glitter. It's definitely an unusually color that gets a lot of mixed reviews, but I happen to love it! As you can see in the first photo, I had some tipwear after a few days, but I like the color too much to really care. This was three coats.

Duri - Gossip Exclusive

I loved this on Vampy Varnish, but all of that multi-color sparkle in her photo seems to be missing in my polish. This is a brown/plum color. There is a slight multicolor shimmer in the bottle, but unfortunately it's even slighter on my nails (even in direct sunlight). Disappointment! It's a pretty color, I'm just not in love.
