Franken: Peacock! At The Disco

Another franken, and this one is even better than the last. I started out wanting a navy blue holo (I admit I got the idea from someone else) but when I swatched this I had to keep it this way. I will still do the navy holo very soon, along with a lot of other ones. This color is a dark smoky blue with some teal, the holo glitter really stands out in sunlight and artificial lighting.

NOTD: Glitter gradient with ChG Sexy In The City + LA Splash Oceanspray

This pretty much makes me want to cry and wish I was on a tropical beach.

My camera totally made this look blue so I fixed it in photoshop as much as I could but its still not 100% color accurate, it is very close though. In person the base is a medium teal and all the glitter is light seafoam green.

Updated: China Glaze Summer Days swatches

I know this was released last summer but, its still a great collection and summer will be here again before you know it. So why not post the swatches of the colors I have, right? If you didn't get them last year, get them this year.

I don't have Grape Juice or Cherry Pie but I have the other four. I got the other two, I don't know why I waited so long. Click the photos to see full size, they are amazing.

Grape Juice. Kind of a 'quiet' mid toned purple with a bit of grey, but it has multi colored sparkles what liven it up.

Strawberry Fields. Pink with gold shimmer.

Raspberry Festival. Red-pink with pink shimmer.

Cherry Pie. Gorgeous warm red with pink sparkles. The formula was a dream to apply.

Orange Marmalade. Citris orange with gold flakie/shimmer. I rarely wear orange and this may be my favorite of the bunch.

Watermelon Rind. Tealish green, its more like tiny flakes then glitter.

NOTD: There are Pink Sparkles in my Ocean

I got these two colors last week and knew I needed to try them out together asap. Today I got the chance and I am so wowed by this combo. This is 2-3 coats China Glaze Shower Together with 1 coat CND/Creative Raspberry Sparkle. Shower Together photographs very blue so the color is a little off, its a bit more of a darker teal but still gorgeous.

NOTD: Teal Treasure

This mani was amazing. I use Sinful Colors Whats That and Nail Junkie (this one is at Walgreens), two coats of each. Whats That is harder to find but you could use China Glaze's Sexy In The City, Sally Hansen's Fairy Teal, or any other shimmery teal with Nail Junkie.
