China Glaze Pink-Rox-E

A week or so ago I went to a beauty supply store that I like and found a couple of old formula China Glaze polishes.

Much like OPI polishes, you can tell an older China Glaze by the label. The older ones have white labels with black lettering. Newer (3-free) polishes have the opposite: Black labels with white lettering.

I had doubts about this shade of pink at first, but Pink-Rox-E is quite growing on me.

It has a lovely shimmer from the gold flecks throughout the polish.

It's fairly sheer (this is two coats over two coats of Ruby Kisses American Clear Pink AND a ridgefiller, and I can still see my nail line). A more opaque white base coat would do the trick I imagine.

Essence Choose Me!

This jumped out at me while perusing the aisles at Ulta a week or so ago. It's DELIGHTFUL.

Two coats, easy to apply, .99! Highly recommend.

OMG.

The rumors are true: I caved to Konad. I Kaved! More to come when I'm a little better at it. I assure you this looks highly janky IRL.
