Awake, not awake

Good morning, loves!
I'm back at the grind again and it's gonna be a hefty week! I haven't been up for very long but I wanted to share a post with you before I refresh and redo yesterday's manicure. (Oh, time management...why are we not friends?)

This is China Glaze Awakening and I picked this up not to long ago on one of my Sally binges.


Two coats on index and middle, no base or top with weak sun
Three coats on ring and pinkie.

I saw this swatched on Colette's blog and I had to have it. It's a subtle duochrome that flashes some bronze. It looks really purple in the bottle but it's more of a pinky-mauve on the nail. I was falling in love as I was swatching because it's really pretty and multi-dimensional. It's a great choice for the times I need to look more "girly." (Don't ask. Really. Don't.)  I knew this would be awesome to layer with too.
And I have not been disappointed. I tried it over black and grey already and it looks gorgeous.

That is all I have for now. Time to get myself moving and ready to face the day!
Thank you for looking. Have a wonderful day!

    Niki - You...girl. I said not to ask! J/K ;)You crack me up!

    Michèle - The formula is a little thin but the color builds well and dries quick. Hope that helps!
