Since it’s Thursday, i thought I’d do a Throwback Thursday post, in addition to my stuff on Instagram. I’m talking China Glaze OMG Collection. Have you seen it before?
BB Couture For Men – Drive Shaft
Thursday, 5 August, 2010
This color looks a bit coppery, a bit peach, a bit pink and a bit bronze on me – all around awesome sauce. It does lean slightly towards the warmer side so I have to be careful about what I wear with this.
BB Couture has, once again, nailed it with their formula. Two applications and this didn’t bubble. If only all polishes could be like this. Polish brush isn’t jacked up like that-company-that-shall-not-be-named. 😉
This swatch is for a reader who wanted me to do more sheers…so I’m starting now. 😀
I’ve had this color for ages and was never really motivated to try it. I thought it looked beautiful in the bottle but was worried it wouldn’t translate well into real life. I hate it when a polish does that and it so often happens with shades like these once on me.
This wasn’t a huge disappointment, but it did transfer almost perfectly – it’s a peach shimmer with a lovely gold undertone. Unfortunately, the shade is a bit too warm for me. 🙁
It’s a gorgeous color nonetheless – see below.
It looks so ho-hum boring in the shade, doesn’t it?
Sunlight brought this baby to life, showing flashes of peach, pink and gold shimmer. It’s very pretty, n’est-ce pas? I know I don’t have a color similar or even remotely close to this, so even though it’s a bit on the warm side for my skin I’m going to keep this!

As always, click the thumbnails to see the bad cuticles up close. 😉
I’m not partial to pastels and I guess Orly had to put up some pastels because well, it’s spring and what is that season without pretty happy colors for me to throw up on?
I did have problems on most of them. I tried different base coats and they still had a tendency to be a bit chalky and unpredictable. All were 2 coats aside form Cotton Candy. I think I had a bunk bunch of bottles. Oh well. *shrugs*
Pixy Stix – Shade (L) and Sunlight (R)
Not quite as bright as some other pinks out there, but…it’s got a pretty darn close neon factor.
Cotton Candy – Shade (L) and Sun (R)
Dunno why, but IÂ think ‘coral’ when I see this on me.
Gumdrop – Shade (L) and Sunlight (R)
I thought of China Glaze’s For Audrey when I put this on. Will amend post later to add in a comparison swatch
Lemonade – Shade (L) and Sunlight (R)
Just reaffirms my belief that IÂ was never meant to wear pastel yellow ORÂ yellow nail polish, period. Ever.
Lollipop – Shade (L) and Sunlight (R)
This reminds me of a lavender shade that’s been liberally doused with pink…
Snowcone – Shade (L) and Sunlight (R)
IÂ thought it was a periwinkle color, but it’s more along the lines of a light turquoise.
