Fantastic formula on this polish, so far all the Hunger Games polishes I've tried have had great formulas.
Thanks for looking! :D

China Glaze Tronica Swatches with OMG Comparison

Here are some skittle swatches showing some of the new China Glaze Tronica collection. Tronica is a collection of scattered holo polishes. These are a Sally Beauty exclusive and having been seen in store starting this week. All pics were taken in sunlight, no flash. 


LtoR: MEGA BITE, ELECTRA MAGENTA, GAMER GLAM, DIGITAL DAWN & thumb is HOLOGRAM

LtoR: 3D FANTASY, LASER LIME, HYPER HAUTE, TECHNO TEAL & thumb is CYBERSPACE

As I mentioned before Tronica is a collection of scattered holo polishes. China Glaze had released a collection of linear holo polishes a few years ago, the OMG collection. Here are bottle comp pics with the dupes I think are most similar from the OMG collection. OMG bottles are on the left and Tronica bottles on the right in all pics.

OMG vs HOLOGRAM:

 FYI vs CYBERSPACE:

L8R G8R vs LASER LIME:

 DV8 vs TECHNO TEAL:

IDK vs GAMER GLAM:

BFF vs ELECTRA MAGENTA:

TTYL vs DIGITAL DAWN:

QT vs HYPER HAUTE:

 TMI vs 3D FANTASY:

 I don’t own OMG dupe for MEGA BITE but here’s sun pic:

The formula on the Tronica collection was great and they work really well for konading so I'm very happy I bought these even though the colors are so similar to the OMG collection. 

Thank you for looking! :D

Intro Post with Valentine's NOTD

Happy Valentine’s Day!  And welcome to my first blog post and introduction to me.   My name is Lindsay and I’m addicted to all things beauty! :D  Right now I’m focused on nail polish, make-up, and skin care and plan on posting my thoughts and experiences with all these fun and wonderful things.  I’m sure I’ll sprinkle in things from my personal life experiences as well, such as this gem:

The Pit-bull babies.  Ruca, Mia & Shaylee.

And now onto my Valentine’s Nail Of The Day (NOTD):

Base color is China Glaze Snow with Seche Vite TC

 

 LtoR: BM09 in Konad Purple Polish, BM02 in China Glaze Millennium, Konad m83 in Konad Red Polish, Konad m83 in Konad Pink Polish and thumb is BM09 in Konad Red Polish

I used China Glaze Snow from the holiday '10 collection as the base.  This is the best white polish I've used by far.  The first coat goes on somewhat streaky but it completely evens out by the second coat. 

I decided I like the middle finger design best and wanted to have a change for tomorrow so I changed all finger but the middle to China Glaze Ruby Deer.

Thank you for looking! :D
