Hello Lovely Ladies,

I hope you all had a good weekend.  We survived in Winter Wonderland and we celebrated the girls’ birthdays amongst close friends and family- it was a busy but pleasant weekend.

Today I would like to share with you three more Colores de Carol lacquers

Colores de Carol I Smell Spring is described as  “a yellowish nude jelly base with multicolored glitter in different sizes and shapes”

(3 coats)

I don’t generally wear yellow well, but I Smell Spring is nude/beige enough to be super flattering and very fun to wear.  Though it is not a scented polish, the glitters within definitely remind me of the gorgeous tulips and other flowers that blossom in the spring.  I also started to think of my favourite spring/summer fruits: strawberries and watermelons

(little strawberry gems are from Belissimo Nails)

Colores de Carol Hero in Disguise is described as “A light gray jelly base with a subtle shimmer, packed with small yellow glitter, hot pink glitter and small black stars”

(one coat over China Glaze Pelican Grey)

Hero in Disguise came as a pleasant surprise.  The mixture of larger glitters and soft turquoise shimmer really work well together!!! I didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did   The glitter is really bright and fun against the timid grey-jelly background.

When I applied this polish I felt an urge for adventure, a sense of bravery to try a new technique: some abstract-ish freehand

To create this look I dabbed on some spots with OPI The Spy Who Loved me and a gold striper polish.  I then used a thin nail-art brush and white and black acrylic paint to draw on a few random lines and zig-zags.

Colores de Carol It’s Raining Hearts is described as “A clear base with fine glitter, round and hex glitter and pink, red and white heart shape glitter”

pinky: China Glaze IV

middle finger: China Glaze Fifth Avenue

pointer finger: OPI California Raspberry

ring finger: stripes of all three shades and white striper polish

I really wanted to layer It’s Raining Hearts over a couple of shades of pink/red.  The clear jelly base really lends itself to layering.  The soft red glitter bits add a bit of interest while the larger hearts are bold and playful.  I did have to dab the hearts rather than paint them on, but that allowed me to pick and choose the placement of the hearts

I hope you liked these three  Colores de Carol shades.  These are hand mixed/created by my dearest friend and very talented fellow blogger, Carolina from ColoresdeCarol.com.  I have the utmost respect for Carolina, who is a creative and talented blogger and who is now expanding her talent into making polish.
