Twinsie Tuesday: A Polish Picked By Someone Else

So this week's challenge was a lot of fun. A polish picked by someone else. My son just totally rammed through entire collection and ended up with these 2. As you have seen him polish my nails before here, he had a lot of fun clinging them around.

Now onto the mani:

So the two here are: China Glaze Sunday Funday, from the new Spring Avant Garden Collection and Jordana LA City Nights. This glitter was really hard to work with because it was so sparse and it was very difficult to get the gradient effect to come through. However, I think it turned out not too shabby.

Oh and excuse that knick on the pinky, just pretend it's not there.

And not to mention, I absolutely love this shade of blue. Sunday Funday is an amazing and beautiful perfect blue with yellow undertones. And it covered perfectly in 2 coats. Plus, the formula was great.

Now, go check out my Twinsies' posts!

Jelly Jelly

You know I love me some good jelly sandwiches.

Since I couldn't find Essence Blue Addicted and Across The Universe is a bit out of my budget, this is what I have substituted it for.

I used one coat of China Glaze Ride The Waves from the neon collection, then one coat of Jordana Cosmic and repeated the same step for this beautiful result. Lovely much?

Both polishes were very easy to apply and the pigmentation was great.

Have you used Ride The Waves for a jelly sandwich yet?
