We all do it, buy a polish you know will be much too sheer and full of disappointment. Claire's Mermaid is one of those polishes. Seen below is 4 coats, but with the blue/green hue it is just a little bit too unflattering. In bottle this is gorgeous, turquoise that lean green with pink/purple iridescent- this is a good layering polish but as I've said many times before, I hate layering.

From the Bridal Color collection, Honeymoon in Style is a sheer that would be best suited for a french manicure. What you see below? FOUR COATS! From the bottle I could tell this sucker was going to be sheer but not to this extent. I wish it wasn't because in the bottle it is such a gorgeous pinkish champagne loaded with absolutely gorgeous white shimmer flecks. While my nails are no where near as yellow as they were a few months ago, I still don't think I can get away with something this sheer. Application was fine otherwise, typical of Orly. I think I may have to try to layer this one, I think I just have to.

Some quick Eyeko polishes!

First we have Petite Polish which is too sheer for me to wear, my nails are stained from pink polish as you can tell and they are also rather yellowed. This is a very pretty sheer though and it applied nicely and isn't streaky. This was 3 coats.

Lilac Polish, while pretty isn't the most original color. It's a very true lilac shade but it's been so done recently that it isn't exactly special. 2 coats.

And Rain Polish, which I think is gorgeous! It reminds me a little of Essie's Sag Harbor that I longed for so long after. It's a dusky light blue with silver gray shimmer. Love! 2 coats.

I am totally loving Confetti. I've yet to try a bad polish and at $1.99 a bottle that is really saying something. I have some other Confetti swatches for you but only one today. I wanted to give this one its own post because it is either damned close or a total dupe for OPI Bubble Bath. Pink Paradise is a pretty pale sheer pink. I needed 3 coats to be satisfied with coverage. I think this would have gone on a little better if I wasn't so speedy when I swatch but it is pretty darn good on all fingers but the middle...

I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I wanted to add some lighter colors and sheers to my collection. I shortly after saw swatches of OPI Bubble Bath and fell in love. I've mentioned before I'm not a big OPI fan and it takes quite a bit to get me to pick up one of their colors and this was worth it. It's the perfect sheer beige pink. In my swatch I'm wearing 4 coats, 3 is a little more sheer.

And while on the subject of bubble bath. I recently picked up these Avon bubble baths in Caramel Truffle and Chocolate Cherry Cake and omg! They smell so yummy! Exactly like the desserts. I'm a big fan on Avon bubble bath, it works better for me than any other brand including Lush and it's way more affordable too. If you haven't already and love a good pampering bath- give it a try!
