China Glaze For Audrey Comparison/Dupe

Hola! It's Wednesday and I am super excited for this weekend. Tomorrow is my little family photo shoot, YAY! I can't wait! I have got to find something for my little guy to wear. And this Saturday, I'll be attending a wedding and have nothing to wear, so that'll be an adventure. I definitely need to find a day specifically only for homework. Maybe tomorrow morning/evening or Friday. Only 4 weeks of summer semester! Yay! I might be swamped with essays since I have 3 5 page essays plus a midterm and final all in 1 month. YAY (sarcasm) don't you just love school?

Oh, sorry for the last Twinsie post. As I reread it, I realized that it didn't make any kind of sense. I was sort of in a rush. Uberly sorry!

But today, I have this awesome ChG For Audrey comparison for you!

Left to right:
Barry M Blue Moon, China Glaze For Audrey, WnW I Need A Re-fresh Mint, Ulta Mint Condition



Ok, yeah. I know Barry M Blue Moon is way out of the picture. In my head, I was like "YEAH! Totally it could definitely go with For Audrey!" After I compared it, well... You can evidently see above the result.

So let's get on with it now since we've got that settled with. If you don't know, China Glaze For Audrey was created in tribute to Audrey Hepburn and Tiffany & Co. For Audrey was inspired and famous for that beautiful Tiffany Blue. I can't compare the 2 actual blues but from other photos that I have seen, they look pretty close. Although close, the famous Tiffany Blue has a color trademark so I'm sure it won't be dead on accurate.

I would say that Wet n Wild I Need A Refresh-mint is closest to China Glaze For Audrey. I Need A Refresh-mint is a tiny bit darker, but from a far, you could not be able to tell the difference. Mint Condition is slightly cooler and darker but pretty comparable still. However, the final verdict is WnW I Need A Refresh-mint. With that said, Walgreens is currently having a sale on $1.99 products for $.99! So I picked up this WnW baby for only $.99!

What do you think? Do you own any of these?

Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Polish

I woke up this morning and didn't even know it was Tuesday. Yikes.  Sorry.

So today's challenge Twinsie challenge is: favorite polish.


I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this post.


This is WnW Candy-licious, 2 coats. I purchased this in my most recent haul and swatched it on a nail wheel and truly fell in love. I don't know what it is what this but I absolutely really love this one. It's probably now my go-to polish. Well, it was either this one or OPI Japanese Rose Garden. It's like a modern, flirty and vibrant kind of pink, hence the reason why I love it. While I really love the color, I had a hard time with application due to the brush. For most of the part, I really like wide brushes, but one was like "WHAM", just way too big (or maybe my nails are small?). Thankfully, I am willing to work with it.

So what do you think of WnW polishes?

I am excited to see what the Twinsie Ladies favorite polishes are!

Funky French Tip

Back to reality Monday. I think I'm coming down with something. My son had a very high fever last night and now, I think I caught it. Better me sick than my son - gladly, he's back to normal. All the glory to Abba.


Something weird and something different. I didn't really like it and took it off right away. But this is 2 coats of  China Glaze Shower Together. This was a bad boy. It was super duper runny. It flooded my cuticles all over. The brush applicator was super nasty - sorry I didn't but should've pictured it. However, I think it's a really pretty color. For the black tip I used Sally Hansen Black Out.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!

What do you think of the tips?

Essence Blue Addicted Swap?

Does anyone have access to Essence Blue Addicted? If so, would you be interested in a swap or something? I live in the US and haven't seen it around my area. Please shoot me an email if you wanna swap.

If not, I think I'll have to settle for Across The Universe.

Thanks!
