Another fun mani with this collection.

There's nothing like a splash of color after a day of "natural" nails. Having colors that are opaque in 1 coat also makes it easier to get right to the nail art!

A break from color - Nail Tek Foundation III

I find that I need to protect my nails with something even when I don't want to wear polish. I like using Nail Tek Foundation III because it dries matte so leaves my nails looking like they have nothing on them.

I love these 1-coat colors for a quick mani. This one is also stamped with two other colors from the same collection.

I had just purchased some colors from the Sally Hansen Crayola collection and forgot to take a bottle photo so cannot remember which red I used - oops! Either way, the stamping was done with the white from the same collection and I don't recall which stamping plate either.

I'm persuaded - so the name rings true! There is something about this color that just makes my nails feel made up in a classic way. It's a color I've already worn multiple times since I took these photos.

The last time I wore this, it was with a nail foil over it. This time I opted for a stamped pattern - from plate Lina Nails - Make Your Mark 03.

It looks like the color of the previous mani really stuck with me as I stayed in the same shade range for this next one. I actually thought these two gel polishes were closer in color but once applied, saw how different they are.

Gift from a friend (2nd bottle)
COMMENTS:
This Essie is one I also already own, but got gifted recently. I'm not sure what it is about this color that makes me willing to put up with 3 coats, lol.

Oddly enough, this color has changed (even my first bottle looks like this now) since it first came out. It was WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL - and aptly named back then.

Here is what it looked like 7 years ago (and then I was able to make it 2 coats. Hm...):

Green perfection. Nothing much else to say.
