I went a little overboard with my new LOVE affair with China Glaze. ::Blushes:: I am still not satisfied and will have to buy MORE! I think, wait I know I have a bad case of Collection OCD. 

I don`t have time for more to post tonight but I have some new swatches coming up this weekend. Stay tuned.

A follow up: Layering with Luxe and Lush

 China Glaze Pelican Gray- Anchors Away Collection Spring 2011. At first glance this appears to be a plain and simple pale gray (cool toned), but it actually has a very pale white shimmer to it. The shimmer really gives it a little something special. Very pretty- totally office appropriate and very sophisticated.  I did a base coat, 2 coats of Pelican Grey and top 2 photos have 1 coat SV, bottom photo is without SV. I think the shimmer is best seen without SV on.

As promised in my last post here is China Glaze Luxe and Lush layerd over the above Pelican Gray! I really like how this turned out. I will likely try layer L&L over many different polishes!

Indoor with flash on, I love this iridescent flakie!

And it is even more beautiful outside in the sun!

In direct sunlight the sparkle is amazing, it catches and dances in the light so much, I could not stop looking at it.
