China Glaze Fuchsia Fanatic + Nail Art

Hi!

Today's polish is another one of my picks from the China Glaze Electropop Collection. This is Fuchsia Fanatic. I can honestly say I don't have a berry pink like this in my collection! haha You can get good coverage in 2 coats, but for no VNL, you will want 3.

I recently got my hands on Color Club Fame and Fortune from the Backstage Pass collection. It was my only must have of the group. Fuchsia Fanatic is the perfect underwear for this polish! Although you lose some of Fame and Fortune's jelly effect, it still helps cut down on unnecessary coats of glitter that can be a pain to remove. So I used that as an accent nail, while the rest of my nails have the stars from the old set of Bundle Monster plates stamped with Color Club Foil Me Once. It ended up very subtle in person though.

I also wanted to mention that we added a new category of iridescent flakies to You Mix Cosmetics this morning! They are available in a 3 gram size, or you can get 1 ounce. You can check them out *here*.

Born Pretty Color Changing Polish

Good morning lovely readers! 

It's been a while since I have shown you anything from Born Pretty Store. So if you feel like you've been missing out, there's more to come! :)

This is my first time using a mood/color changing polish. I like the idea of them and think it's a fun way to mix things up a little. The color I am showing you today shifts from lavender to pastel blue depending on the temperature. I used 2 coats. So this is what the polish looks like in cooler temperatures (it was probably in the 20's outside):

In order to get the full effect of the color change, I ran my hand under hot water. You can see the shift beginning to happen: 

And then the full effect:

Cool huh? The reason my hand is still wet in the last two pics is because the color change didn't last very long because the temperature outside the water made it change back really fast. So I had to hurry and snap a few pics! I think the blue shade would show more in the summertime when there is more heat.

Overall, I like this polish a lot and want to try more colors. I would be interested to see what nail art would look like on top of the color change. The formula was kind of thick, but still manageable. You can purchase this item *here* for $7.84. Don't forget Born Pretty has free worldwide shipping! Also, I have a new 10% off code to share with you: AJ10W21.

What are your thoughts on color changing polish?
