Butter London Wallis and Wet n Wild Contact High

I've skipped posting a lot of polishes I've worn lately. I apologize for that. Many of the polishes I've worn in the last two weeks have either been swatched to death (china glaze ray-diant, china glaze rare and radiant) Or were ruined by my painting of the upstairs hallway (oops).

   Apologies for only getting one good photo, if you can even call it that. I didn't notice the poor clean up again. Once I remembered to take another set of photos I had scuffed everything up with latex paint. This one isn't that great, and I forgot my camera when I went home to see my family this weekend. I'm starting to thing I might just want to post photos of polishes I don't see too many swatches of as opposed to getting kind of crummy photos of polishes everyone and their cat have seen.Or maybe I should just start shooting video of all my polishes since that seems to come out better than photos in my case. 

EDIT! I found some bottle shots I took a few days ago for comparison's sake.

I think my nail photos definitely don't do the polish justice, the bottle shots do show a more accurate view of what the polish looks like on the nails. I'm wearing three coats of Wallis. As you can see (ignoring the red reflecting from my shirt in the bottles) Edyta and Cast a Spell are very similar except Cast a Spell has glitter in it as opposed to a shimmer throughout. Wallis is definitely in a different category with a very different visual texture and a more vibrant olive green to it. All are must haves in my book!

Contact High by Wet n Wild is a unique one in my collection. Mostly because I shy away from cream polishes. Perhaps the fact that it is part jelly and part neon helps? I typically cannot stand cream polishes( except for Essie After School Boy Blazer that is my favorite toe nail color at the moment), not sure if it is the longer dry time, the thicker consistency, or the fact that is shows off my ridges really well. I also think part of it has to do with the fact that I love sparkles, I can't stand to look at non sparkly nails. And half the time, I can't stand specific kinds of sparkles. I'm just hopelessly picky. How I ever get anything done I do not know. 

Our family friends have a lot of neat stuff in their house. Not only do they have a rotary phone that looks like a world war one plane but they have one of these "candlestick" phones. I of course had to make calls on both of them :-). The candlestick one shown above didn't broad cast the best, but I could hear just fine on it. The top photo is with flash and the bottom without. It shifts from being just very green to a bit neon depending on the lighting. I'm wearing three coats and it probably could have benefited from a white base underneath/a fourth coat for vibrancy. But it looked good in person this way.
