Hello everyone! Happy Memorial Day to my U.S. followers! I want to express my heartfelt thanks to those folks (and their families) who have served in the military. It's a great sacrifice they've given for this country and I'm grateful to those who give their time, and too often life or limb, to serve and protect.
I've got a quick Sunday Similarities post for you all today with a couple of bright green jelly polishes. Whilst strolling through my local Walgreens the other day, I noticed the Wet n Wild Summer 2014 Limited Edition All Access Beauty Megalast display. They have introduced a rainbow of bright colors for the summer and I picked up a couple including Contact High which, when I got it home, I realized looks a lot like Sinful Colors Irish Green. I figured a comparison post was in order :)
In the bottle, you can see the obvious similarity. Both are bright, grassy green jelly polishes. At first glance, I thought they were exact dupes.
But when I applied 4 coats of each, I discovered that Contact High is a few shades darker than Irish Green. Irish Green also has a bit more yellow to it. They are very similar in formula, sheerness, and finish (no top coat in these photos). Contact High is a Limited Edition and Irish Green tends to show up around St. Patrick's Day, so if one or the other isn't available to you, I don't think you HAVE to have both. But at $1.99 each? Too good of a deal to pass up!
Thanks so much for reading!
Howdy, everyone! It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another ABC Challenge! Today's letter is "I". In my last post, I mentioned I might be using a new polish I got from LynBDesigns, and, not being one to go back on my word, I have!
I've done another green mani...I didn't realize I did that many of them, but I guess I do lol Anyway, here I've started with 3 coats of Sinful Colors Irish Green. I passed IG over for a good long while because I didn't realize that it was a jelly! Sinful Colors should really change their labeling to indicate what type of polish is in the bottle. IG is a super bright, super squishy green jelly and it's just perfect for St. Paddy's Day just around the corner!
On top of IG, I've added a coat of Iocaine Powder from LynBDesigns. As I'm sure most of you know (and if you don't, you should really watch this movie!), Iocaine Powder comes from the movie The Princess Bride. It's one of my all-time favorites and when I saw LynBDesigns had a collection inspired by the movie, I knew I had to have it! IP is a holographic glitter topper bursting with micro-glitters and itty bitty flakies...some super sparkle power here! As with the other LynB's I've tried, IC had a great formula. I've used only one coat here on top of the green and you can see how great the sparkle is.
I hope you'll take a few minutes to check out the other ladies doing the ABC Challenge. You can find them via the thumbnails below. As always, thanks so much for reading!!
