Index to pinkie: OPI My Throne for a Cranberry Scone, Essence Plum Perfect, OPI Outback Aphrodisiac, Misa Push Upon It

OPI My Throne for a Cranberry Scone: This is the brightest of the bunch, with a touch more pink to it. The formula is the old chemical-laden OPI formula, and dammit, it's fantastic.

Essence Plum Perfect: This one applied the thickest of the bunch and it's so similar to the Misa and Outback Aphrodisiac it's not funny. It has just a touch more warmth than those two polishes.

OPI Outback Aphrodisiac: Again, very similar to the Essence and Misa, but the coolest-toned of all. The formula is the same as MTFACS that I mentioned above and applied amazingly in two coats.

Misa Push Upon It: This formula is similar to the old OPI one, just a bit thicker. It applied perfectly in two coats, and is just a bit dustier in tone than the others.

So, I wanted to jazz up my China Glaze Lemon Fizz mani with a little nail art. I was bored ;) So I grabbed my dotting tools and some of the new China Glaze Poolside shades and just started messing around. I used the dotting tool to make the flowers first. I used Pool Party and Kiwi Cool-ada for the petals, then filled them in with Kiwi Cool-ada and Towel Boy-Toy then I used Sun Worshiper to make some dots around the flowers. I felt like this was super obnoxious, and the orange dots on the pastel yellow background really didn't work for me, but I figured I'd post it anyway to show you guys just for nail art ideas.

Index to pinkie: Sparitual Strawberry Fields Forever, OPI Senorita Rose-alita, China Glaze Strawberry Fields, China Glaze Pink-Rox-E

Sparitual Strawberry Fields Forever: OK, so I have a weakness for Beatles references AND pink polishes with gold shimmer, whateva. This Sparitual is really gorgeous, it's a bit darker and cooler than the others, and the golden shimmer itself is a good bit warmer. It's decently pigmented and, let's face it, the bottle is pretty cool.

OPI Senorita Rose-alita: This is the one with a finish closest to a frost, but the rose shade with a golden overlay of fine shimmer is just amazing. Of the top three shades, this might be the most "wearable" for the office.

China Glaze Strawberry Fields: Ah, the Beatles again. I love it. This polish is so pigmented and gorgeous and the gold glass-fleck shimmer in the amazing sweet raspberry base is just insane. I love this polish. It's my favorite of the bunch.

China Glaze Pink-Rox-E: ooh she's kinda pastel, and it puts off a sort of peachy vibe the way the golden glass-fleck shimmer takes over the nail. I love the light, soft shade and I'm a huge fan of China Glaze's glass-fleck shimmer, but this one isn't as "me" as the others.
