CND Night Factory Duo

I'm slowly working my way through my untrieds which seem to just grow and grow and grow. This is CND's 2010 Fall duo that's been sitting in a USPS box next to my desk since last year... #fail


Urban Oasis. Teal cream... very pretty but the colour is a little ordinary in the vast world of nail polish. BUT, the formula is completely bonkers. Off the charts. It's an easy one coater - not a "if you're careful this can be a one coater" type of one coater, but a "you could use this lying on your back while eating Cheetos and watching Jersey Shore" type of one coater. Win!





I'm big! Click me!

With one coat of Teal Sparkle. Teal Sparkle is full of that pretty glass-flecky/foily/flaky type glitter we see a lot now. They flash from green to blue though the colour shift is really very subtle. As pretty as it is, it can't beat my favourite CND Effect which is Crimson Sparkle. I love that one!


Now, if you haven't seen already, the kick-ass Kaz over at Pretty Random is having a Picture Polish giveaway! Her only entry requirement is to write a haiku poem containing a name from one of the Picture Polish colours. LOL! How awesome is that?! Go on! Check it out here!

    Eeee I have this too and I only just swatched it not long ago as well. Singularly and as a combo they are amazing. I should have given it a lot more love a long time ago.

    Thanks for the link to my comp! Love your haiku by the way! :D

    Holy crap! is what I said when I saw the first pic, then with the top coat?  Are you kidding me?!?  Wow.  There's a local nail supply store by my house that sells some CND and the Effects top coats....I might have to hunt this down!!  And you have the best nails and shape ever!
