China Glaze Pop the Trunk

Good afternoon all and happy MY BIRTHDAY MONTH.  Haha.  I'm really excited to share the things I've gotten in the mail to swatch lately and will be delving in to those over the next few days.  Neons and holos galore, I am so excited!  Another color I am super excited about is this bright red-orange from the China Glaze Road Trip collection.  It was released for the Spring and the collection was full of soft subtle colors as well as a few brights for some nice contrast.  I surprisingly was drawn to both sides of the scale and ended up going home with a handful of subtle and another handful of bright.  

So let's take a look at this beautiful color - I promise to not wait to long to share the others!

This is Pop The Trunk, and as mentioned before it's from the Road Trip Collection.  This is a bright orange creme, but I think it leans fairly red.  This red-orange hybrid is actually one of my favorite shades in the color spectrum.  The formula was really lovely, opaque and creamy.  No issues at all.  I had full coverage with 2 coats of Pop The Trunk.  1 layer of topcoat but it didn't really need it.  

OPI Luxurious, Indulgence and Lynnderella Punkkin Pie

Good morning all!  Taking a step back from blue polish (I've been posting a lot of it haven't I?) and bringing you a gorgeous combination of red, orange and glitter!  I am a true red-orange lover and I basically adore any glitter combination that is Fall themed.  So these OPI DS colors and the Lynnderella glitter were right up my alley!  The great news is that all 3 of these colors are available right now.  OPI is available at many beauty supply stores and you can follow them on Facebook and Instagram (opi_products).  Lynnderella polish is available at lynnderella.com.  You can follow Love Lynnderella on Facebook and Instagram (lovelynnderella).  

I started this with OPI DS Indulgence on my thumb, index and pinky.  This is from the Fall 2012 collection and you know how I love anything Fall themed.  Well this is gorgeous.  Indulgence is a pink-red shade with heavy gold shimmer.  It's borderline metallic finish!  It had amazing application and formula.  I had rich color and full coverage in 2 coats.  I then sponged OPI DS Luxurious on the tips of those same fingers.  Luxurious is one of those "on fire" shades that I simply adore.   It's an orange-red with heavy gold shimmer.  Again it has a metallic type finish.  It applied easily and I had really great coverage considering I used a sponge to apply it!  Then I put OPI Espresso Your Style on my middle and ring fingers.  EYS is a chocolatey brown with shimmer.  I used 2 coats for full coverage and it's a very pretty shade but you can barely see it under Lynnderella Punkkin Pie!  Punkkin Pie is a fun Fall glitter mix with hearts, moons and stars in a heavy shimmered, yellow tinted base that was released in the Thanksgiving 2013 Twinset.  It's a pretty mix of colors and glitter shapes.  I wish the shimmer was a bit lighter, but on the positive I have a feeling 3 coats could provide full coverage on it's own!  I used 2 coats and application was great.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.
