China Glaze Cowgirl Up Swatch

 oHello!

Today I've got a swatch of an older polish, China Glaze Cowgirl Up. This came out in the Rodeo Diva Collection from 2008. My swatch pulls really red toned but it is more purple than my picture. It is an intense (slightly frosty but NOT brushstrokey) berry purple shimmer. It has a standard China Glaze two coat formula and it very flattering and pretty. Its actually a perfect fall polish but I wear it year round.

What do you think of Cowgirl Up? You can still find this polish here on 8ty8beauty.com for under $4 :) Thanks for reading!

OPI Melon Of Troy Black Label Swatch :)

Hi everyone!

Here is a dusty hunt polish courtesy of my sister :) She picked this badboy at a salon in the city for just a couple of dollars!!! This is OPI Melon Of Troy from the Greek Isles collection from 2004. We gave it to my mom for Christmas because this colour is very her.. subtle and feminine. I actually quite like it too :)

Since it is a black label, it is before the 3Free formulas and has that old chemically nail polish smell. It also has a thin brush. Applied nicely though. This swatch is three coats. It is a beautiful light pinky peach colour with a pearly shimmer finish. Slightly frosty but with no brushstrokes. It may not be a usual pick for me but I like it with my skin tone and it is a nice palate cleanser colour :) Im wearing three coats and topcoat in these pictures.

Even though this colour is discontinued, it still pops up occasionally online for good prices :) Not too hard to find for a black label! Since this is me were talking about, I obviously didn't keep this palate cleanser plain for too long! Stay tuned to see what I added to it :)

China Glaze Sexy In The City - Swatch

Hello! Its a beautiful day out today and it is finally starting to feel like summer in NB! I should be up north working.. but I haven't gotten my call yet so I am pretty broke.. but I still love summer in the city. I felt like China Glaze Sexy In The City was a good fit for today :)

Its a very pretty vibrant blue with a slightly frosty teal-ish shimmer that I struggled to capture in my pictures- its there though. It was a little sheer, and took three coats to get the bottle colour. I used a topcoat which eliminated all brushstroke marks from the slightly frosty finish :)

I suggest a good basecoat!!!! This one stained my nails pretty badly!

Have a nice day:)
