#30DaysofColourChallenge - FAVOURITE

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 25 is my favourite.  It is difficult to pick a favourite when you have a nail polish collection, but this is one that is well worn, usually in the Fall and Winter.  It is piCture pOlish's Orbit.  It is a navy blue (leaning towards purple) polish with silver glitter.  It is a dream to work with and the dry time is very quick!  You could probably get away with one coat, but I applied 2.

Day 24 is oldest polish.  I think this is my oldest polish...it is OPI's Polar Bare.  It is part of the Fall 2004 Canadian collection.  It is a beautiful, on the brown side, nude.  This is a great shade if you work in a conservative job setting.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - CHROME/METALLIC

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 18 is a metallic/chrome and this is Orly's Rage.  It  is a rose-gold super shiny polish.  Rage is part of the Foil FX collection from 2010.  With two coats it was opaque and I valiantly tried to 'get rid' of the streaks with a top coat, but as with most metallics it didn't work.

I bet this would be a gorgeous pedicure.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - SHIMMER

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 17 is a shimmer and this is Nubar's Passionate Purple.  It is part of the 8 piece Cleopatra Collection that was released in the Spring of 2009.  This definitely is a Blurple.  It is a purple based polish with so much blue shimmer it looks more blue then purple.  It also has some pink shimmer.  I used 3 coats to get full opacity.  It was very difficult to photograph this polish and get the true colour.
