China Glaze - Flip flop fantasy & Cult Nails treatments

I know this is more of a summer color, but I really like neons.

This one is part of the China Glaze 2010 Poolside collection, and I got this one this summer along with Pool Party but never got to wear it on my vacation, and then my nails broke, and I thought on nubbins it wouldn't look that good, and then I had to move and then...........

Anyways its turn came up, and I am not sorry I bought it.
This one is a bright neon coral pink, it took three coats to get rid of those bald spots. I think the formula got be better, but seeing the gorgeous color on my finger tips makes me forget all that.

I have also been testing out Maria's from Cult Nails base coat and top coat.
Maria was super sweet and sent me a nail polish as a gift with them but unfortunately I already had it - it's Iconic and you can find the swatch here. Maria even sent me a little note ! She is so sweet!

The base coat has not been tested enough, and I can't really make a difference between base coats. I just know that Seche base coat is crap.

On to the top coat, I've noticed it is easy to apply, the consistency is just right, and it doesn't shrink the polish. It also dries super fast, as fast as Seche, but the one thing I do not like it's that it's not selfleveling, and leaves a bit of streking on the polish.

I used the Wicked Fast top coat on this swatch, you can see from the pictures that the nail polish is not very leveled.

Here are the photos







Love the wrapping!

Cult nails - Iconic

Although these are a bit more than what I usually spend on nail polish, I thought I'd try one because they all seem so pretty, and because the owner of the brand - Maria is a fellow blogger. Check out her blog by the way here
This is a dark red- wine like- shimmer polish, with red flakies in it. I loved it, and since I am a flakie fan, I thought this was my favourite of the four polishes she sells for now. Her line is expanding day by day, and she is putting out a new glitter polish soon.
The delivery to France was only 3$, so in total this came up to 13$, so like 10€ the price that a Revlon polish costs over here.
I put on 2 coats for opacity, and found that it was a very good quality nail polish.
The bottle is round and easy to hold, the cap is easy to grab, and the brush is also quite good. I will defenitly be buying more polishes from her.
As I was unable to capture it's beauty with my camera since we had no sun shine that day, I will post a lot of pictures and the actual colour is somewhere between all of these.
