Here is my "C" polish for the Alphabet Challenge (if you would like to join, add your link to the links below). I have never bought/tried a Claire's polish before, but I had to get it when I found out that it was a dupe to Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop. I had that on my wishlist for quite some time and then this emerged. I already have a swatch of this, but I posted it when my blog was new and I only took pics of my thumb (click here to see LOL). It's fun looking back at old posts!
I layered this over Zoya Shelby to have a more opaque base. I love the look of this and am going to enjoy looking at my nails today while at work. I'm not, however, going to enjoy taking this off...argh, glitter:( I will be doing the foil method for sure!
This looks really good with the layered base. When I tried it, it looked kind of dull! I'm definitely taking note for future uses!

Yes, a base helps with this one:)
DeleteCute polish!!
ReplyDeleteI love this layered over a pink creme! It makes the color stand out so much and eliminates multiple coats for opacity :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right! Much better than my first shot:)
DeleteI really like it over the base! Looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks:)
DeleteSo pretty and girly! I like your lil thumb swatch, too, it looks nice and squishy :) Oh, and would that my earliest pictures looked that nice... ;p
ReplyDeleteLOL, I laugh at my first photos. I was scared to show all of my fingers! They were still healing from picking my cuticles for so many years. Now that was a hard to habit to stop. My daughter Shelby told me that my nails look like birthday cakes this a.m.:)
DeleteThis was one of the first swatches on my blog too- my photos sucked lol! You make me want to re-swatch and do a better job of it!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing that with some of my early ones. Plus, I swatched so many of my favorites in the beginning and want to wear them again...so if I can get a better picture, I'll add it to my Friday Favorite with a Flair or to a challenge like this:)
DeleteVery cute! I have the DL version and I love it!
ReplyDeleteLucky duck! It's always best to have the one that everyone needs a dupe for:)
Deleteooooooh this is fun!!!
ReplyDeleteso everytime I hear this name, "Candy Shop" this song comes to mind: "I'll take you to the candy shop" by 50 Cent... naughty naughty!! haha =))) awesome glitter!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I never thought of that. I haven't heard that song in years!
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks:)
DeleteSo pretty on you! I'll have to try mine out! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks great on you! I have this one and layered it but didn't like the combo I chose. I might have to try a different base. I hear ya with removing glitter. One think that I love it the Target Dip It tub. It has a little scrubber type thing in there and while you can only do one finger at a time, it is amazing for glitters. I find I wear glitter polishes much more now that I discovered this. Here is a link to it...it's only like $2 I think. http://www.target.com/p/up-up-maximum-strength-acetone-nail-polish-remover-dip-it-9-oz/-/A-13317437
ReplyDeleteYa know, my friend at work always uses that tub from Target but I never thought of using it for glitter. Good idea! :)
DeleteThis looks great, especially the combination of Candy Shop over Shelby! :-)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
These look great together! Boy do I ever feel the same about glitter... Removal is the frikken pits!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I usually just do an accent nail, then it's not as time consuming.
