Color Club Tangerine Scream

Oranges are really hot this summer. Anything from creamsicle orange, to peach, to coral, to hot neon oranges and everything in between.
This is a nearly neon, slightly iridescent orange by Color Club called Tangerine Scream. It's hot, bright and fun. It has a subtle flash of green. It's more apparent in the bottle unfortunately, and on the nail it translates more to a gold flash. Still very pretty. It has a great application but does require 3 coats which is typical of neons, and this also dries a little satiny. Not quite matte, but not shiny.

This is indoors, in natural light with top coat.

Here we go again with the sideways bit. What is up with this?

Anyway, this is outside.

In the sun

And in the shade.

(I am starting to wonder if I have fallen asleep here and I am looking at the monitor crooked.)

And here we have it with  Joe Fresh Matte Topcoat, indoors.

Tangerine Scream is a fun little polish, and for me it has no dupes in my stash.

Thanks for looking!

PS, I am going to be away for a few days, but I will have some AWSOME pics for you when I return.

Cheers!

OPI - I Lily Love You over Avon Vivid Violet

Yesterday I picked up I Lily Love You by OPI from the Nice Stems Collection, summer 2011. It's pink based but almost clear and packed with different sizes and shapes of  glitters and flakies. There are blue, green, yellow, pink, and a few iridescent bar glitters in there too. I think what is drawing most people to this are the flakies in it. I am not a huge glitter fan, but this is pretty. Mine was a little thick so I added some thinner, and oddly it dries a little more matte than I thought. I always use a top coat anyway so it doesn't matter. I just thought it was interesting.

First I tried it over Avon Vivid Violet, simply because I was swatching  that anyway. So here is Vivid Violet so you can see what that looks like alone. It's quite difficult to capture the true colour, as purples are notoriously difficult to get an accurate picture of. This is as close as I could get. I would say it's a tad more violet/pinky than this. But close.

And this is with I Lily Love You on top. ( no top coat, but not dry yet)

Meh, it's ok. I think I will try it over a light pink.

And just for S&G's and because flakies are fun to mattify, here it is with China Glaze Matte Magic on top.

I think I like this better actually.

I also swatched I Lily Love You over China Glaze Up All Night. You can see it by clicking here, and I also swatched it over Essie Muchi Muchi and you can see that by clicking here 

Thanks for looking!
