Not too much to say about this mani, except that I got so many compliments on this manicure at work this weekend! I really like how this one turned out. I wanted to use white as a base this time. Last time I did this on a turquoise base with black stamping, and in person it was so hard to see I had a design on my nails.

Sally Hansen HD Swatches
My fiancee, Nate, surprised me last week when I got home from work. He bought me these Sally Hansen HD polishes! I wanted to do full hand swatches, but I don't know when I'll find the time, so I just did skittles for now.
Left to Right: LCD, Spectrum, Lite, Wavelength, DVD
I used 3 coats for each color. Even with 3 coats LCD (thumb) was very sheer. It's a pretty shimmer polish that would work good for layering. The other 4 could be used as a standalone polish, although still might be better off used for layering. I have seen swatches of these polishes over black, and they look SO much better. Maybe I'll save that for another day. Overall, I really like the duochrome effects of LCD, spectrum, and DVD the most. As for Lite and Wavelength, they are a little more opaque than the rest and a little less shimmery, but I still like how they can be used on their own.
