Worth Repeating - China Glaze - For Audrey

Aside from the ever present clouds and threat of rain I think spring has finally arrived.  The daffodils and tulips are spent and my flowering fruit trees are leaving drifts of petals on the drive way.  The robins are all in high gear for nesting material and bugs.

When I first put on For Audrey I was taken back to my childhood when a robin built her next rather low in a tree in our front yard.  My brother and I would wait for the mommy bird to fly off for food and ever so carefully climb up to peek over the edge to count the blue gems snuggled into the down of the nest.  (I'd like to add that no harm was done, the eggs hatched and the birdies grew up and flew away.)    It's been a while since I've seen a robins egg first hand but this color epitomizes spring to me.

 This color was actually based off of Tiffany's blue, yes, "that" Tiffany's, as in Breakfast At... and much like another classic (Wedgwood) blue I feel this color will be around for our enjoyment for a long time.  Soft but not too pale it can easily make the shift through winter, spring and summer and for some maybe even into fall.

Here I have 2/3 coats and as with most of my China Glaze polishes, application was a dream.

 As with all my Worth Repeating colors, China Glaze For Audrey is still readily available and under $12.  If you haven't added this lovely color to your collection as of yet I do highly recommend it.



Thanks so much for stopping by and reading and I do so enjoy getting your comments.  Until next time, have a lovely day!

Worth Repeating - China Glaze Ingrid

Welcome to my first installment of Worth Repeating, an ongoing series where I will highlight lovely polishes that had their time in the spotlight but have faded to the background as new collections and colors have arrived.  These are always going to be polishes that you can still easily get your hands on and will always be under $12(USD).

First in our line up is China Glaze's Ingrid.  This was part of the Vintage Vixen Collection and released mid 2010.  This was labeled as Greige, the in-color of the season. 

What fascinated everyone and I'm sure you'll see why is the glorious gold shimmer that glowed from the rich and creamy depths of this polish. 

With an easy application and clean up this color charmed in two to three coats with a gorgeous slick finish.

Well worth adding to your collection this is a rather neutral color that seemed to suite most people.

Hope you found this useful.  If you have suggestions, don't hesitate to leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you.  Until next time, take care!

 

Worth Repeating?

I'm going to start a series called Worth Repeating where I will highlight polishes that had their moment in the spotlight in the not so distant past but have somewhat fallen to the wayside.

I intend for these to be polishes that are still easy to get your hands on and and well worth adding to a collection if you don't already have it.  I am hoping that this will be beneficial to those that are just catching the polish bug and looking for polishes to add to their collections.   

I also intend for these to comply with my nothing over $12 rule for those that may find it difficult to justify more than that on their income. 

If all goes as plan I will highlight a Worth Repeating polish at least a couple of times a month, maybe more if applicable.  If anyone has any suggestions on polishes that they feel should be included please let me know, I think it would be great to have some guest blogs and my own collection has it's limitations.

So dedicated readers (you know who you are)  what think you on this? I'm wanting to start it this week and seeing  how it flies.
