NOTD: ChG Orange Marmalade

Well, the dots didn't grow on me so they had to go last night. I decided to replace that mani with China Glaze Orange Marmalade from the Summer Days collection. It was almost pretty enough to wear by itself, but I wanted just a little embellishment, but I couldn't decide on a Konad design, so I ended up adding some rhinestone flowers. I'm not sure if I'm happy I did or not =/ But the color itself rocks. Please enlarge, especially the sun pics, to see the full gold flash this has:




I've had a TON of compliments on this today. I probably have less than 10 orange polishes in my entire collection. I resolve to give orange more of a chance, since it apparently likes me more than I like it.

My friend went & got a pedicure, and she came back with the cutest nail art on her big toe. It's not even really that complicated, I think I could do this myself if I wanted to do art on my toes, or maybe use the design on my nails:


I also got a load of free Revlon products in the mail today to review:


I got both the fake nails & eyelashes, even though I only requested the lashes. Nothing against fake nails but they're just not for me, so I'm not sure who I'm going to talk into being a guinea pig. Maybe mom. Maybe not.

The lashes, are not something I would normally mess around with, but hey - who am I to turn down free stuff? Maybe I'll shock myself & fall in love with falsies. I'll probably try my hand at applying them this weekend. Thanks for reading.

  2. Looks very nice on you and I like your nail accents! Oranges can be tricky getting them to work color-wise and this one looks great. Enjoy your goodies :)

  4. Colette your nails look beautiful! I love the embellishments. You hit the mother lode with the Revlon products. I tried neither product before. Have a good time trying them. Don't glue your lashes together!

  6. OLIVIA - Thanks!

    MARY - I know what you mean with oranges, this is a great one.

    CLOCKWORK - Thanks =)

    LUCY - I'll admit I'm a little nervous with the lashes! But I guess I know from nail art I can have a steady hand when I want to, I'll just have to concentrate =)

    TULI - I actually had to go back & buy this color, I had picked up several others from this collection but passed it up because I don't wear orange much ... but the golden shimmer convinced me I had to have it after all.
