My 2 Fav Polishes Right Now

China glaze Turned Up Turquoise is a very awesome colour it goes on so matte and is just so cool!!!
But because it acts like a neon when u put it on and it drys it doesn't shine its very flat so you do have to use some sort of top coat or buffer.
Other then that its a great colour
Also theres a lot of colours similar to it like china glaze four leaf clover, l.a colours automatic and Ardene's matte of blue

I would defiantly re buy this colour

China Glaze Re-fresh Mint is from the Up Up and Away Collection a lot of colours from this collection where pastel so when i bought the nail polish because it was pastel i thought it might be a little to sheer and streaky but it wasn't it went on very nice and is a very nice spring colour.
I have never really seen a colour like this its very unique the only one i have heard that is like this is MACS Peppermint Patty which is very similer but i have never tried it so i really don't know for shure
The Colour is very mint its so mint it gets close to like a sea green .
I did a nail art project with the Arizona green tea bottle because the design was so pretty and a used this colour as the base.
So i would definitely re purchase this colour.

Price wise its very good i got it at ulta for 6$!

Sally Hansen - Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Peach Daiquiri

While I understand the the low reviews this polish has gotten (mainly because of its sheerness), I really like it! I just got it today at Target and paid a measly $2 something for it, so you can't beat the price.
Yes, the color in the bottle is a beautiful peachy color, but when you swipe it on, it's very, very sheer - a barely there sheen of peach and a nice glimmer (not too glittery). Once you layer it on about 3-4 times, you get a more peachy kick, but by no means expect the pure color you get on the bottle. With that said, I still bought it. Why? The color shows up well enough and it's a gorgeous shade (it reminds me of Nars Orgasm). It's subtle, it's pretty, it's easy to put on (usually I'd hate to put on more than a few layers, but because it's so sheer, it's very quick and easy). It's good for when I'm in a hurry and I don't want to fuss about making sure the color coats evenly, or if mistakes will show up on the sides of my fingertips (which always happens because I'm clumsy and impatient). It's a nice, warm weather shade that's not too extreme for anything professional. The texture is great, very smooth, and unless this chips easily (which I doubt - and even
