Summertime makes me love the look of hot pinks, corals and other bright shades for my nails. For this installment of Polish of the Week, POTW, I chose to go with a pretty China Glaze shade.
China Glaze I Wanna Lei Ya has been in my stash since last year but it’s only now that I’ve used it. The shade is a blend of coral and pink – quite lovely and perfect for summer. It’s a creme formula that has a tiny bit of silver shimmer. Application was easy though you would need two or more coats to get it even. As always, I followed it up with Seche Vite top coat.
I thought I’d add this little feature to the site; Polish of the Week or POTW! I get or give myself a manicure and pedicure every other week due to the fact that my nails grow like weeds! And it’s not just because I’m currently pregnant, they’ve always grown fast. Just lucky I guess, heh. ;)
Anyway, I thought I’d have a little fun with this week’s shade and combined two of my favorites…
Show above is China Glaze Tinsel (which is a holiday color) and OPI Moon of Mumbai which was part of their India Collection from last year I think? Tinsel is your basic clear nail polish with loads of silver glitter. What I love about it is, it’s not chunky or gritty in any way. It’s actually similar to OPI Happy Anniversary (which I also have) but it’s sheer. Moon of Mumbai is a pale light gray shade that’s unexpected. My only caveat with this shade is, if you want to wear it alone, you will need at least 3 coats as it’s a bit sheer.
As always I finished it off with Seche Vite top coat. I’m sure you’re all well aware of what that bottle looks like. Speaking of, I’m about half-way through it and it’s getting a bit goopy. Going to need a new bottle soon!
