*Layering Post* with Sally Hansen's 'Aisle Be There'

Hello Readers! So, today I have China Glaze 'Pelican Gray' layered with Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength 'Aisle Be There'. This is a really subtle and pretty combination. CG's 'Pelican Gray' is a soft warm gray with a slight silver, blue and purple shimmer. SH's 'Aisle Be There' has a clear base with fine fuchsia/purple holographic glitter. I'm trying different cameras and lighting so bare with me on perfecting my pictures and style! All suggestions are WELCOME! There are 2 coats of CG and 1 coat of SH shown below.

Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Killa Red'

Hello Readers! So, today I have Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Killa Red' and I must say it is killer! This is a color that's hard to capture because it's jelly red; depending on the light it can appear to be a bright cool cherry red or a deep maroon.  Photos are taken in my new light box (yay!) with the most neutral lighting I could use to show you this color. All photos are taken with 2 coats of RBL Killa Red, 1 coat of French Tip Dip's top coat, and 1 coat of Essie 'Pure Pearlfection' on my ring finger. Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Killa Red' Rescue...

Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Catherine'

Hello Readers! So, I had an AMAZING Christmas and wanted to share with you some of the gorgeous polishes that I received. Today, I've swatched Rescue Beauty Lounge's 'Catherine'. I'd describe it as deep muted purple-silver pearl with bright purple and bright teal shimmers. I'm not a huge purple fan but this is right up my alley!  Now, here are the photos I took with my new photo box! I used the camera with my iPhone 4S (I plan on using a 'real' camera soon!). Rescue Beauty Lounge's very own Ji leaves her signature on limited edition...
