China Glaze Lemon Fizz and Happy Hands Motherboy swatch

These are seriously the best photos I could take at the time, blurry with indoor nighttime lighting!

China Glaze Lemon Fizz is a very light pastel yellow creme that gets easier to apply each time I've used it. Back when I got it like 5 years ago, a 3 coat yellow was a lot more intimidating, but Lemon Fizz is a piece of cake compared to China Glaze Solar Power, the most pain-in-the-butt yellow I own. Speaking of yellow, I saw yellow manicures a few times after the OPI Brazil collection came out, leading me to suspect the yellow in that collection was popular and would spark a springtime trend. I haven't seen it recently, though.

Happy Hands Motherboy is a multi-color glitter with pastel green, blue, and lilac, with comparatively bright pink. I don't think I had any application problems with it. I bought this during the very final Happy Hands sale before she closed shop. Alas! Her "Stuffed" Thanksgiving glitter was my first indie.

This was my Easter manicure, but I had to take it off like 2 days before Easter because of chipping.

Sun coming out...

Sunny!

KBShimmer Rollin' With The Chromies
A blue-purple duochrome holo. In indoor lighting, it tends to be a dull blue that I'm not too fond of, though at least a hint of the holo is always there. When the purple comes out, it's gorgeous. The most flattering light so far seems to be the shaded sun, where the duochrome really comes out and it looks so princess-y. In full sunlight, the holo blasts in your face.

I don't know if the tipwear is from the polish or if it's from working at my new job (where I earn far fewer $20s than the ones seen in this blog's header). There may be a lot of tipwear in the future.

And aww, my poor winter-wrecked fingers, lol.
