Gray Weather... Grey Nails


Boo! Some summer I'm having here on the coast of California. Today was soooo gray/foggy. Hard to believe it's the middle of July! Anyhow, I let the weather guide my choice for a color today and I chose China Glaze - Pelican Gray.

It's definitely one of my favorites. I love that it's not your typical gunmetal gray, rainy blue/gray. It's just a very pretty light, muted gray. Gray, gray, gray!



 Formula was a little thin but it's buildable and dries quickly. I'm wearing three thin coats.



 I lovvvee it. Decided to add a little flair! (Spectraflair 35 to be exact!) My bottle is from KPT but many other indie brands have it out there. Gives any polish you have a holographic finish! How cool is that?! And I'm diggin this over the light gray. Gives it such a subtle look.



 Don't know why I put it on if the sun isn't out though! Haha. So here's some directly under my lamp.






Thanks for reading ;) Do you prefer gray or grey? I think I asked that before. I switch back and forth between the two!

Wet n' Wild Gray's Anatomy

I guess this will be logged as my first post ever. I do not even know where to begin! Haha!

So right here is a swatch of Wet n' Wild's "Gray's Anatomy" an awesome purple/grey/green duochrome (or triochrome, I guess!) with a hint of shimmer in it. It was a little hard to capture the green in photos, but you can see it on the first photo on my index finger and a little in the second on the left halves of my nails!

I really love this colour.. it reminds me of being in space or something. Or an oil slick. Not really similar comparisons haha but all I know is that I am in love with it!

I heard this a good dupe for Deborah Lippmann's "Wicked Game" which I do not own, but from other pictures it seems to be spot on!

I do own a colour by O.P.I which seems to be the same. I have the bottle called "See You Next Summer" but apparently it was renamed and re-released in the Katy Perry collection and called "Not Like The Movies" No wonder I couldn't find swatches! I will have to make a comparison post for those two later on :)

Just gettin the feel of this blog so posts won't be too picture heavy... YET.

I also have a nails Instagram where I post more frequently for the time being. Check it out! @reinovate

Thanks for reading!


Do you prefer the spelling grey or gray? I prefer grey!
