Essie Tart Deco & Hello Kitty Stamping

I'm dealing with a bit of an anomaly here.  In the bottle, Tart Deco looks quite pink and did it on my nails until I put on my topcoat.  Then it leaned very orange.  The sides of my nails where I missed with some topcoat, looks more peach, too.  I used NYC Grand Central Station and I'm not sure if its that topcoat in particular or what, but it really changed the hue of this polish.

This is two coats of Tart Deco over Orly Bonder, sealed with NYC GCS.  If you google swatches, only a few appear as orange as mine.  It's supposed to be more peach.  I also took a ton of pictures of this color and I'm not sure why but lucky you gets to look at them all. Whooo!!

Even in these pics, some nails appear more orange and others a little more peachy. WTF. Whose fault is this?  It's a pretty shade regardless, but it's trying to be too many things at once!  The formula was really nice on this one and it wore nicely on me, too.  I don't usually have any issues with Essie.

I used plate KD1 which I ordered off of Ebay for $5.  I used Zoya Demi and Konad Special White for dots and stamping. And I'm incredible peeved I didn't see that piece of hair over my nail. Urgh.

Brucci Lou Lou's Peachy Creme

I love my Bruccis, this one.. not so much. The color is great but the formula on this one bit the big one. My guess is that this is a white polish with some orange added to it because it has the same problems any white cremes have: they suck, they're streaky and they take more coats than desired.  Once I did smooth it out, it was pretty though.

This is FOUR freakin' coats of LLPC over Orly Nail Armor topped with OTD. Such a pretty color, not unique by any means but I just have a crush on all pastel cremes.

Franken Attempt; "In Love"

I decided to give frankening another try (even though I have a strong aversion for that word and prefer the term “hybrid” but I will try to stay as relevant as possible).  I mixed about a quarter of each of these to get this color I chose to name, “In Love”.. mostly because I am IN LOVE with it!  They're all cremes, so there's no shimmer or sparkle, just very plain and understated.  Looks like artificial peach!
