Coral Comparison




Well it's officially spring! Here's some coral colors to brighten your day :) All of these are JUST ONE COAT!

Pointer - "Lunch at the Delhi" by OPI
I like this color, but am just not loving it. Maybe I've gone too glitter crazy and this is more creamy, but it boarders on mauve which I seriously dislike. It had good application and average dry time. 3.5 Blings

Middle - "Crushed" by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear
Pics do not do this justice. It is very shiny with deep color that sucks you right in. Good application, moderate dry time, stunning! 4.5 Blings!

Ring - "Caribbean Coral" by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear
Very similar to "Crushed" but a bit darker and creamy instead of shiny. Super opaque, easy application, great color, very nice. 4 Blings

Pinkie - "Peach Perfection" by LoveMyNails
This one was $1 at Walmart :) It dried the fastest, but was a bit streaky and is more of a pink than coral, but it is beautiful. I haven't liked this brand in the past so was hesitant on adding this one, but it is worth it's careful application and is very opaque- for such a light color this is saying something. Very shiny and a perfect spring pink. 4 Blings

LoveMyNails "Plum Shimmer" with Hearts


First off, the color is not plum, though it is a beautiful pink and silver shimmer. It went on very easy, UNFORTUNATELY it comes off easy too! I can't get it to stop smudging, even after Seche Vite or Poshe top coats! For someone who works with horses and is very active, this is a deal breaker. I love the color, but it's virtually unwearable. Polish from hell gets 1.5 blings (.5 for good color).

The hearts are so cute and they look like rhinestones! Though they are also a bit hard to wear since they are hard and don't sit too well on the nails, a few top coats does the trick. 3 Blings

UPDATE 2/14/10: This is also a real pain to take off :(
