ESSIE No Place Like Chrome

Hello, ladies. I hope you are all having a fine Wednesday. I was hoping my Birchbox would be here by now, but alas, no such luck. Instead, I have another amazing polish loaned to me by Jessica. This one is a mirror metallic from Essie, No Place Like Chrome.

No Place Like Chrome is a shimmery, chic silver metallic polish. It's very fun to wear because I don't have any other mirror polishes at the moment. I am also a big believer that silver and gold polishes make for big-impact statement nails. Two thumbs up! This silver has a more of a shimmery metallic sheen in the the sunlight while maintaining more of the "mirror" effect indoors.

No Place Like Chrome applied easily enough. I suggest using thinner coats for a smoother application. I applied 2 coats of polish with no top coat. Even with 2 coats, it's usually harder to get a completely smooth looking finish when working with a metallic.

In other news, this is my 100th post! I really appreciate my followers who take the time to stop by and check out my blog. Thank you and thanks for popping in!

COLOR CLUB Worth the Risque

Hello, girls. My little Game of Thrones group finally was able to catch up and watch the last 2 episodes of the season today. Hooray! And also boo that it won't be back for a year. I've read the first book in the series and it's time to start in on the second.

Jessica, my awesome and also polish addicted sister, gave me a great polish from her stash recently - COLOR CLUB Worth the Risque. Isn't she a great sister?! Worth the Risque was part of the 2009 Femme Fatale Collection from Color Club. She, don't mind that I am referring to my polish as a she..., is a silver holographic stunner. The formula was easy to work with and it was even after 2 coats. It sparkles stunningly in the sun and I am a HUGE fan of this color. I am digging the silver polish for sure.

I decided to drop the cursive font watermark and went with something easier to read. What do you think? All photos were taken in direct sunlight. Take a gander... (:

A girls gotta have some sparkle in her life. I suggest clicking the images to see it zoomed and really get a good look at the rainbow of colors shining through this silver.

Well, this polish sure makes me happy. Thanks for popping by!
