ABC Challenge S is for Sirene (H)

So, so very late with my next letter in the Challenge. The letter is S and for that I choose Sirene (H) from ILNP. It is a very pretty duochrome polish.

It shifts from green, sort of a dark teal, to purple. ILNP makes some beautiful duochromes that the shift really does show up on the nail, when so many don't. You can also see a bit of gold in the bottle.

This photo was taken in sunlight, which really shows off the duochrome.

Love that I can actually see the shift on my nails.

The great thing about this version of Sirene is that it also has a holo in it.

ABC Challenge The Letter R

I was torn on what polish to choose for the Letter R. I originally chose Remember Aja by Girly Bits, then I decided I wanted something more spring like so I was going to choose Re-Freshment from China Glaze.

Well then I went and picked Remember Aja out of my drawer and figured since I hadn't done a manicure yet for this challenge with Girly Bits, it should be my choice.

It is a very pretty purple holographic polish.

This polish has special meaning to read about it go to http://www.rememberaja.org/.

ABC Challenge The Letter Q

This was a hard one (as will some in the future) I don't have all that many Q polishes.

I managed to find Queen For A Night by Finger Paints, it's from the Masked Affair Collection in 2014. I must add Finger Paints has become one of my favourite polish brands. Though I do tend to wait til they are on clearance at Sally Beauty to buy them.

Isn't that a pretty polish?  This is a dark blue polish with a green shift and lots of gold flakes in it.

The shift is more apparent in the bottle, but I can notice it on my nails.

Though it didn't on me, I have read that this polish can stain.

ABC Challenge The Letter P

Princess Peach by EatSleepPolish is my P polish for the ABC Challenge.

This is from the Fairies & Princesses collection which is still available on

EatSleepPolish

Even though pink is not a favorite nail color of mine, this is a very pretty pink holographic polish.

Easy application with a decent holo effect.

I think the holo shows up more in this second photo. It's not the strongest holo, but it's definitely there. The unicorn on my ring finger is also available on EatSleepPolish. Caterina has a number of different vinyls available.

ABC Challenge The Letter O

For my O polish in the ABC Challenge I chose Orly's Oui.

It is a pretty purple with a very intense gold shimmer in it. I think the next picture shows it better.

I only have a mini bottle, but I really should have a large one, This is just such a gorgeous polish.

ABC Challenge The Letter N

For my N polish I used a new addition to my collection, Nori from Zoya. I got it when Zoya opened their shipping to Canada.

Nori is one of the newer and regrettably last of the Pixie Dusts Zoya is making.

 Nori is a Magical Pixie Dust which means it has holographic hex glitter, that sparkles through.

Even though I didn't top coat this, I really didn't feel that much texture to it.

Just an add on to this, I used NYC's Strip Me Off Basecoat. I am loving it so far. I wore this mani for almost 4 days without losing any peeling off or any chips for that matter.

ABC Challenge: M

Again a little late, but this is my M polish. It is Finger Paints Margarita Mambo. Which happened to be a fitting color for St. Patricks Day.

It is a very pretty vibrant green, but it was quite sheer. I needed to do three coats and I can still see some nail line. Though it was not as noticeable in person.

This has a pretty yellowish-gold shimmer running through it.
