NOTD - Rides, Stuffies, Cotton Candy, and all thing born from Fairs&Carnivals

Fun times call for fun nails. Especially when it seems like everyone is pouring in from the surrounding cities to partake in 4 hours of free PNE entrance and commemorate the annual Vancouver fair's 100th anniversary.

I found OPI What's With The Cattitude? (Part of the Shrek collection) to be so fitting. It's bright, but not obnoxiously bright. A pretty sky blue creme that reaches total opacity in 3 coats, although I got away with 2.

In a way, it reminds me of the cotton candy I bought today ^^


I decided to do a comparison between this and LA COLORS Breathless Blue. Which do you like better?

LOOT - LA COLORS (Swatches Part II)

This is the final part of the swatches. Finally!!! :D
LA Colors have a wide colour selection. The formulation of these are creamy (not too thick or thin) and long lasting. I'm not sure if they were meant to be a cheaper version of China Glaze since both state that they contain hardeners. The brush could be bigger, but I can live with that. For $1 each, these are definitely worth it :)

Unless otherwise stated, these are all two coats.
**Link available for more details about this shade.

VIBRANT VIOLET

Light purple-pink shimmer.
Pretty, in a classic away.



**PINK SATIN
Barbie pink shimmer that flashes light purple in the light.
Cute & girly.
In the previous post, I didn't love it as much but it just looks too good to resist now =P



APRICOT
Peach shimmer with yellow-green flash.
Cute with a tan.


**SOLAR GOLD
Light gold shimmer.
LA Colors manages to do gold right! Other brands end up with shades that are too yellow or too dirty looking.



**GREEN SATIN
Pale green with a slight shimmer.
Not too streaky like how pastels can turn out to be.
*Three coats.



**BREATHLESS BLUE
Pale blue with slight shimmer.
Green Satin's fraternal twin. In winter when you want to stand out from all the drab dark polishes, this looks awesome with some snowflake nail art.
*Three coats



SEA GREEN
Aquamarine with shimmer that flashes gold.
My least favorite.



SHOCKER
Magenta shimmer that flashes bluish-purple. A bit sheer.
This shade has already been done by so many brands, but I always gravitate towards it!
*Three coats



GRAPE
Berry red shimmer.
A tad darker in real life.



METALLIC PINK
Dusty red-pink & silver glitter.
Doesn't this remind you of Live from the Color Craze collection?
*Opacity in one coat



METALLIC GREEN
Leaf green & silver glitter.
