Revlon Street Wear: A Tale of Two Toads


Today's manicures are both discontinued Revlon Street Wear Toad. Obviously, there are at least two versions. One is a golden olive green shimmer, while the other is a bright grass green with golden shimmer.
These manis are one coat SpaRitual Lacquer Lock basecoat, two coats of polish, one coat of SpaRitual Tout de Suite topcoat and Seche Vite.

NARS Desperado and King Kong


Natural Light and Flash

Desperado is a new Spring color from NARS. It's a gold metallic foil with green microshimmer. Nars describes it as antique brass.
King Kong is a Vintage shade that was recently re-released. It's a warm, almost pinky coppery-brown with metallic shimmer. Nars describes it as brown with gold shimmer.
Both are available from Sephora, Dept Stores, and directly from Nars' site.

These manis are one coat SpaRitual Lacquer Lock basecoat, two coats of polish, and one coat of SpaRitual Tout de Suite topcoat topped with one coat of Seche Vite. Please excuse the cuticle frazzle.
