Mermaid’s Dream is one of the best polishes ever in my book (top 20 for sure). It’s a seafoam green shimmer sprinkled with royal blue glitter. It’s opaque in two coats but it is kinda gritty so I did two coats of top coat.

Tweet Me is a shimmery buttercup yellow. It’s pretty sheer this is 3 coats and I still think it could use a fourth. Other than the sheerness the formula is pretty good though and I love the color.

Zoya Adina Swatch

Zoya Adina is one of the prettiest colors I have ever seen. I saw it all over the blogosphere a few months ago, but every time I tried to order it, it was sold out. I finally got my hands on it when I got a coupon from Zoya for 2 free polishes with any order. Unfortunately my camera refuses to capture the true beauty of this polish. It’s a medium purple duochrome shimmer with lots of light green iridesence. The green is much more apparent in person but you can see it a little in some of the pics. That’s OPI Mermaids Tears under a coat of Klean Kolor Green Holo on my ring finger.

This is one if my favorite nail art designs to do because its super cute and really easy and quick to do. I started with 2 coats of Revlon Blue Lagoon, a sky blue with silver shimmer and then used a dotting tool and white polish to make the clouds. I put Revlon Cotton Candy (which actually smells like cotton candy!) on my accent nail.

Essie Super Bossa Nova

Today I’m wearing Essie’s Super Bossa Nova and Braziliant on the accent nail. Both of these are from this years summer collection. They had them at Wal-Mart in a little duo package. Super Bossa Nova is a pink fuchia shimmer. I bought both of these as a set of minis from Wal-Mart. I think I like Braziliant more than Super Bossa Nova, I’m not to big on pinks anyway.

Rimmel London Rags to Riches

Todays mani is Rimmel London Rags to Riches, a shimmery money-green. Rimmel is definitely one of my favorite drug store brands of nail polish. I love everything about them: formula, brush, and price (about $4). These polishes have just the same quality (if not better) as salon brands like OPI or Zoya.If there was anything for me to complain about it would only be that they should have more colors! I chose Milani Jewel FX polish in Gold for the accent nail to pick up the gold shimmer in Rags to Riches.
