Snack Break

I like fruit, how about you?  Raspberries are delicious.  We used to have raspberry bushes when I was growing up and we used to gorge often.  There are all kinds of raspberries, but China Glaze decided to mimic the pink variety ...

China Glaze- Raspberry Festival

In the shade.

 It can look really bright pink with more sun.

Or kind of red.

Either way, notice the glass fleck things.

I was in the mood to wear this, but not for long.  I guess I'm just torn about pink/reds with my skin tone.

Does that ever stop you from wearing a color often?

P.S. Be jealous. :D

Grape Flavor

Why is it that artificial flavors never taste like the real thing?  Some of the worst imitations have to include grape, watermelon, and cherry.  Don't get me wrong I love cherry flavor, it just never tastes like a big bowl of Bing cherries.

This leads to my Nail Of The Day:

China Glaze - Grape Juice
3 coats

*eye roll at my camera*
The color of this polish is not blue, really it's purple, but this picture does show how deep, rich and sparkly it is in lower sunlight.

Normally my grape juice does not include sparkly glass shards, but I won't lie, I like China Glaze's take on grape juice.

In full sunlight.  The glass flecks are so shiny!

Purple! The color is a more deep in reality.

I did three coats for the full mani, but here I am showing what it looks like at one and two coats.

I could have stopped at two, but I feel the color looks much more rich at three.

3 coats

Indirect light.

This picture is more color accurate than the first picture.

The absolute worst artificial flavor ...

... BANANA ...

... but they are so cute though!

I love real banannas ;P

Lemon has to be my favorite fake flavor.  I love sour things! :)

What is your favorite flavor of hard candy, least favorite?
