OH RAN GEEEEE








Sation Show Off Your Navel Orange

I loooooove this orange!!!!!
I'm typically not a fan of orange, but this one's so pretty I just had to share a swatch A.S.A.P. What makes it so awesome is the secret pink shimmer (: It's so secret that I wasn't completely sure if it was there indoors, but you can definitely tell once you're outside cause the polish emits this amazing glow (:

The formula for this polish was really thick... in fact, it got so goopy halfway through painting my nails that I had to add some thinner! I'm not sure if I happened to get a bad one or if that's the general case, but adding thinner definitely fixed it up.

I'd also like to make note of the brush, because it gave me a bit of trouble. It's got one of the wide brushes, and when the hairs splayed out, I found them to spread too widely for my liking. I had to be extremely careful on my pinky, or else I'd flood my cuticles (and possibly all the skin around my nails)! I'm not sure if that's just me though, because my pinky nail is kind of small compared to the rest of my nails. One time, back when my mom used to do my nails for me, she asked me who I got my pinky from, and told me that it couldn't possibly be from her because it was so tiny.

Anyway, I picked this one up at my local Skylark Nails Supply for $2.50. I'd definitely suggest checking out your local nail supply store if you want the best price. There's an interactive map on the Miss Professional Nail site that shows you local retailers for this brand. These are also available on the Miss Professional Nail site for $5.
You can also find these on Ebay! I ordered a couple from cbnailstore428 before I discovered them at Skylark. They were $5.49 each with free shipping, so it may be more cost effective than getting them at Miss PN depending on how many you get (:

thanks for your comments everyone (:

@ anon: if i'm pressed for posts, i'll paint my nails a couple of times a week to get posts in. i like to have about 2 weeks worth of scheduled posts cause it gives me time in-between posts to relax or do nail art (:

Oh my goodness. That pink shimmer!! I'm seriously more of a creme/glitter kind of gal but all of these shimmers you've been posting have converted me. Currently on the hunt for incredible shimmer polishes like these! (:

This brand is starting to make me envious that I can't get my claws on Sation here in Canada!!! ;)

Love the shimmer in this one! wow!
