Nails of the Week - 5 Day Challenge

So the new China Glaze Up & Away collection finally arrived in my mail box which co-incided perfectly with my latest hair brained idea. A 5 day long interactive manicure! (it sounded like genius in my head, trust me!)

Therefore I present to you this weeks Nails of the Week - Five Day Challenge. Every day this week I will give you the options of what to customise my manicure with by choosing from a selection of 4 polishes/items randomly chosen by the boyfriend.

So to start off I needed a base colour, and where better to go than my favourite people on twitter:


So with the vote tied at 2 all for Something Sweet & Lemon Fizz I gave the boyfriend the deciding vote...

I was praying for Something Sweet, a nice safe pale pink, lots of potential. Of course he picked Lemon Fizz because it looks like our pet cocktiel's feathers.

China Glaze - Lemon Fizz

So... Lemon Fizz! It's an interesting colour, a very soft pastel mid yellow cream. I honestly didn't think it would work well with my skin tone but now I have it on I can say that it's growing on me.

The forumla was quite streaky for the first couple of coats and I would recommend if using this colour to paint an area once and leave it to dry as the polish had a tendency to drag. And although it was a little streaky it was not at all chalky like most other pastels and it also dried to a superbly shiny finish!

The picture above is Seche base coat and 3 coats of Lemon Fizz.

Ze Smudge!
