China Glaze - Cirque du Soleil - Worlds away...my picks

The newest collection of China Glaze, Cirque du soleil Worlds away I have only picked two polishes: Trap-eze and Running in Circles. I try to stay a bit on budget...but...these two...I couldn't let them escape me :-)
Excuses me for my dry and battered cuticles...winter is getting to them I suppose.

Without further ado, here is the first China Glaze Trap-eze:

The formula of Trap-eze was a bit watery and I had to rearrange some glitters and dab them on some bald spots. It was not unworkable and it self leveled nicely! This is 3 thin coats.

Next up is China Glaze Running in Circles:

I LOVE this glassfleck green: it looks alight in direct sunlight!
This was two thin coats and they applied like a dream.

Like Bob Ross used to say: "That's all folks, happy painting and God bless" :-)

OPI - The World is Not Enough teamed up with Shimmer - Caroline

OH WOW, I received my 2 Shimmer polishes this week! First up is Caroline it's a purple and pink glitter in a clear base. But there is not only pink and purple, there is some deep blue, green and red glitter as well. It is a mesmerizing color. When looking for a polish to layer it over, my first thought was a nice lilac/purple shade but that would make the purple and pink glitter look dull So I looked for a color that would complement the glitters....it was OPI The world is not enough. TWINE has some pink in it next to the brown and gold so it complements the glitter beautifully!

This is the result:

With flash: in the blurry part you can see the sparkle best

It was very difficult to get the sparkle to translate to the pictures.....it twinkles way more the you can see here! Both polish apply like a dream: this is two layers TWINE and one Caroline.

lovely colors together
ABM is a beautiful nude color, wich has a little golden-frosty finish. I got it opaque in 2 average coats.
Sprung is in the line of OPI Pros and bronze and OPI golden eye, it has the pink flecks of PAB and the golden flecks of GE but has a nice helping of copper flecks added to the mix. This one was opaque with 2 not too thin coats.
