Undie Sunday

Hey hey! I have another Undie Sunday post for you. You can see my first one HERE where I explained what exactly 'undies' are. ;)

Some of you (my blogger account tells me 8 to be exact) have already seen this post because I accidentally scheduled it for last Sunday instead of today. Woops. -_- Sorry hehe!

Sportsgirl Nail It! - Skeleton. A pale grey with green undertones. Definitely more grey in real life. This is 3 coats, no topcoat. Despite it being sheer, it was REALLY nice to apply! I wore this under a Gloss n Sparkle polish HERE. This was one of the first polishes I bought myself when I started getting into polish. I found it on sale in Sportsgirl, probably because most people wouldn't pick a colour like this. It's my only Sportsgirl polish but I LOVED it!

OPI Tomorrow Never Dies, from the Holiday 2012 Skyfall collection. I can't decide if this is purple or blue. I think it's purple but it's got a very blue undertone. And every single lighting I photographed it in, my camera captured it blue. GRRR! :( So it's definitely a bit more purple than this in real life.

I wanted to say it's a shimmer but I think it looks a bit metallic. Almost frosty. This has potential to be brush-strokey if you aren't careful. I wore this under a Darling Diva Polish HERE.
2 coats with Essie Good to Go topcoat.

Sinful Colors Easy Going. I wore this under a I Love Nail Polish polish HERE. :) Easy Going is a  really light pink creme that can look white sometimes. It's basically the same colour as Essie's Fiji, but I like the formula on Easy Going more. 3 coats, no topcoat.

Essence (Ready For Boarding Collection) 03 Exits On Your Right. Nice spring pastel green, with more of a yellow undertone than most pastel greens you see. :) I wore this under a I Love Nail Polish polish HERE.
3 thin coats, no topcoat.

Rubi Under The Seaport (Rubi is the shoe shop made by Cotton On). A dark teal-ish navy. I can't believe this was almost opaque in ONE coat. For a cheap brand, the formula is amazing. Heck, even some expensive brands don't go on as nicely as this. I absolutely loved this polish! This is one I will definitely wear again. I'm so impressed! The only thing I have to say is that it stained on me, so I'll double/triple up on the base coat. For me, staining is a small price to pay for a pretty polish. :)
2 coats, no topcoat. As you can see it dried SOOO glossy without topcoat! So awesome!

OPI The One That Got Away is a really gorgeous raspberry pink glass fleck! This one is from the Katy Perry collection but you probably already knew that. ;) It was a bit thin and it did pool in my cuticles a couple times but if you're careful and do thin coats it's no problem. Sooo pretty!

3 coats, no topcoat.

Hope you enjoyed this Undie Sunday! ;)

Undie Sunday

Hey guys! Today I've got some "undies" to show you. No, not the kind of undies you're thinking. LOL. If you're not familiar with the term, lots of bloggers/nail polish gals call their base colour of a manicure (perhaps a colour you'd wear under a glitter), the 'underwear', hence the name undies. :D

I'm gonna show you the 'undies' I wore with the Ulta3 Glitters I swatched. :)

China Glaze Ruby Pumps. Can you believe I hadn't worn this until now!? It was love at first stroke. Soooo beautiful. I'm loving reds right now and I didn't want to remove this! Ruby Pumps is a red jelly-ish formula with red microglitter. Just gorgeous. This is 2 coats but I'd probably do a third next time.
Sorry the photo is a bit crappy.

Essence Walk On The Wild Side. A dark green with a lighter green shimmer. A little thinner than I'd expected but really nice! 2 coats.

OPI Swimsuit Nailed It is a foil-ish bright blue. 2 coats. Really pretty but this polish is a horrible stainer! I had it on for no more than 10 minutes and it stained! UGH!

Ulta3 Black Satin is my go-to black creme! It's a ONE COATER. I'd probably do two if I were wearing it alone though, just because it really highlights the ridges in my nails! But it's really nice for stamping and nail art because it's so opaque!

China Glaze Fast Track is a taupe leaning nude with a beautiful gold shimmer! This is from the Hunger Games collection. 2 coats but I probably would've done a third if I was wearing it alone.

OPI Number One Nemesis is similar to Chanel Graphite. I bought a mini a while ago. I hate mini bottles. I hate 'posing' with them, and the brushes usually suck but this one wasn't too bad. :) I can't even describe this lol. ThePolishAholic said it was a "murky grey/green shimmer" and I always trust her descriptions so there we go. :P 2 coats but I'd do a third if I was wearing it alone.

Let me know if you liked my undies post! ;) I don't really swatch glitters like the Ulta3s very often, so I probably won't have these undies posts often but I really enjoy seeing them from other bloggers such as Valesha from PeachyPolish who does them pretty often! Check out her amazing blog. She only just started blogging recently but I've followed her on Instagram for a pretty long time now and her swatches are impeccable! :)
