Monthly Mani-Fest June 2010

Another month of manicures from the past - details:  June 2010 posts

Elle LDL - #207 - Unnamed red

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2
TOPCOAT?: Yes
SOURCE: Ross Dress for Less in a "cube" of nine polishes for $4.99
COMMENTS: I've wanted to do red with white dots for a long time, so when I saw this post on Tamara's blog, Mocha Mish Mash, I decided I was ready. The red base polish is such a gorgeous and true red, it made me smile! Fingerpaints Paper Mache was used for the dots as usual. Of course I got a few comments from co-workers about Minnie Mouse...


*While creating the links in this post, I realized Tamara posted the same combination as a mani too! Mani twins!

Ruby Kisses American Clear Pink vs. Madmoiselle

COATS: 3 of each
COMMENTS: Ruby Kisses American Clear Pink (RNP96) has been in my stash much longer than the recently purchased Madmoiselle (RNP77) and I decided to compare them. I now see why although my eyes like it, I never reached for American Clear Pink. It's not effective enough at masking the discoloration on my nail beds. It's also a little streaky on the nail. Madmoiselle is clearly the winner here.
