Blue-ming Romance

Hello ladies!

My feature polish for today is Blue-ming Romance by Piggy Polish.

Outdoor

Indoor

Indoor w/ artificial light

Color Description: Actual color is light blue with ashy tone I suck when it comes to describing colors.

Formula: It's not bad but it's not the best the either. I guess I can say it's one of those creme polish out there that's hard to apply sometimes, you need to be consistent on your brush strokes and make sure to let the polish dry in between coats to avoid cuticle drag.

Finish: Creme

Coat(s): 2

Drying Time: Fast, depends on the coating

The color is pretty, perfect for spring and summer. Is it my favorite? No, this is not something that I would wear everyday but it is indeed charming. I don't have a problem with the odor, it is quite a decent polish.

How you like my post for today? Do you like this color? Let me know.

By the way if you have KLOUT, include your klout name on your comment so that I can add you as my influencer.

This Or That... I'm Tagged!!!

Hello my dear readers!

How's your Tuesday going so far? I feel upset since last night because my left thumb nail is broken and I don't have a nail repair product whatsoever but on the bright side though it's not a dent or something I can still grow it back again. I guess I need to take more good care of my nails, what can you suggest ladies a product that would help strengthen my nails to keep it from damaging. I would love to hear your suggestions.

Well anyways, my post for today is non-nail topic for a change since I got tagged by Rita Sprinkles* it's called This Or That... I'm Tagged!!! This tag post is really refreshing, I love that it is very simple yet fun and informative. Well here it goes.
