The 2 last Mood Struck Polishes

Here are the last 2 Mood Struck Polishes I picked up at Meijer. And if you don't have a Meijer nearby you can buy a couple of these polishes here.

The first is a silver to pink color. I thought that this would be a pink version of this one, but the base color ended up being nothing like the bottle color! It's a silver shimmer with glitter. Here are pics w/o topcoat. I took a lot because this is a really pretty color!

This is my new cocktail ring that I got through Etsy here. But it turns my finger green :(  I tried the clear nail polish trick, but it just chips off.

Cold water

Here's the light orange to darker orange one:

Sorry about the middle finger. This dries kinda like those new vinyl Orlys.

I wanted to show this with topcoat as well, but below is the second day after applying topcoat and it chipped like crazy! 
The only different thing I used was a really old bottle of OPI Chip Skip (like 10 years old!)

A lot of the polish cracked on my nails and flaked off.

These polishes aren't the best for wear so I'm not so sure it was the Chip Skip.

The silver/pink one chipped after 3 days with topcoat.

Thanks for looking!

Another Mood Polish!

I went back to Meijer on Friday and picked up 2 more mood polishes. Screw the no-buy, these are awesome!

I got the pale yellow to light pink one.

Cold water

Warm water

Turning to normal temperature

This is what it normally looks like.

This is three coats then a topcoat then one more coat b/c it was starting to look pretty bad the second day. The application was a bit patchy and there was some cracking the next day, but these are still cool!

New Mood Polishes @ Meijer!

I stopped by Meijer yesterday to see if they had anything that I NEEDED to have since I am trying to go on a no-buy to pay for my wedding--yes, I am engaged, but more on that later!

I found a display of np's called Mood Struck. Sorry for the next 2 pics, camera phone + shakey hands from excitement= really blurrry pics!

Look at all that mood-changing-goodness! Although a lot of them were repeating colors.

Some of them looked like they were very watery and sheer, which I thought meant that they wouldn't work too well. So I picked one that looked like it would be the most drastic change. I went with this one:

This was all that was on each of them.

And they were each $3.99.

Unfortuately when I got home I realized that this really looks like the Calm/Wild from Claire's. So I pulled out that bottle to do a comparison.

Pretty f-ing close, eh?

Mood Struck looks a little bit of a truer purple(?) than Calm/Wild.

Let's see if we can tell the difference...

Can you?

I can't.

This is 2 coats of each. Index and ring are Calm/Wild; Middle and Pinky are Mood Struck. I think :)

It was apparant with the first stroke that Mood Struck was definitely a mood polish! I have to go back for more! Screw the no-buy, these are cheap, beautiful, awesome, what else can I say to justify this purchase?...Everything! Anything!

I'd say that the formula is a little better than Calm/Wild since mine was a little thick.

There was a lovely light pink to pale yellow with shimmer that I really want!

Just for good measure, here's some hot/cold water pics.

For those Mid-westerners, head over to your local Meijer to check these beauties out! They were on a side display at mine.

Has anyone else seen these?

Claire's Mood Nail Polish: Daring/Innocent Layered

Here's another from Claire's Mood polishes, Daring/Innocent. The 'Layered' part of the post comes later and it's good. So if you don't want to see any more swatches of this 'boring' color combo scroll on down.

I love this grey color. I am so into greys right now for some reason...

Then when the hands get a bit warmer, this loveliness shows up...

Then I was thinking 'I wonder what this would look like if I layered a slightly sheer polish over it.' So I took out my one MAC polish Varicose Violet and added one coat to these 2 coats of Daring/Innocent. And here is the beauty that was created...

yowsa!

Then I managed to get my hands on the new Essence stampy set at my local Ulta and used ChG Awaken (?) for one of those stamps...

OOOOOoooooo. I think next time I wear this I will add a sheer blue... What other colors would you layer over this?

Thanks for looking!
