Top of the Morning To You: China Glaze Running in Circles

Today's entry for my St. Patrick's Day Manicures is from a fairly recent China Glaze Collection.  Today I'm sharing China Glaze Running in Circles from the 2013 Cirque du Soleil Collection and Icing Frog Prince as an accent.  

When I first saw promotional pictures of the Cirque du Soleil Collection none of the shades really called to me, but when I saw Running in Circles in person, there was no doubt...I had to have it.  When I saw it, it reminded me of Zoya's Ivanka. They are similar, but Running in Circles is brighter.  Icing Frog Prince is a bright green glitter with both green and holographic glitter.

I love glass flakie finished nail polishes. They have a depth to them that most glitters and other textured polishes have.  I am still always amazed that I love green nail polishes, because green has never been a favorite color. But I have a drawer that is 3/4 full of green polishes that proves that I do love green  polish. 

Have you decided on your St. Patrick's Day manicure yet? What are your plans for celebrating St. Patrick's Day?

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

We Must Find a Cure! 31 Days of Pink...(Day 2)

Day 2 of my We Must Find a Cure! - 31 Days of Pink. Today I bring you a polish that I have had in my untrieds for about 2 years. It's a gorgeous color and I don't know what took me so long to use it. Today i'm sharing with you Icing Purple Passion. Yes, I realize the name states that this is a "purple" but in my opinion, it is a pink with a purple undertone.  Icing Purple Passion is a satin finish blue based pink with silver micro shimmers. (it's the lighting that is giving the shimmers a blue tint but they are in fact silver.)

While in these pictures, I am wearing 2 coats, I would suggest 3 coats to ensure no visible nail line (VNL). The application of this polish was a little runny but nothing too difficult to work with. I currently only own a few Icing polishes but from the looks of Icing Purple Passion, I need to get more.  

Icing is a subsidiary of Claires Stores, Inc. and can be found in your local malls.  

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

National Autism Awareness Month - Essie Aruba Blue

Still showing support of National Autism Awareness Month.  This time, I am wearing a much blogged about, but only very recently added to my collection-Essie Aruba Blue.  I also did an accent nail with the infamous Icing Epic Winning.  Blues are more becoming my favorite polish color.  There isn't much I can say about Essie Aruba Blue or Icing Epic Winning as they both have been blogged about at length. My two cents, "They're gorgeous!"
