Maybelline Summer LE Turquoise Paradise Swatch And Review with Bonus JulieG

I hope everyone had a quick and easy week!  The weekend is almost here and I hope you've all got something fun in store.  We'll be working on baby proofing the house because LO is starting to crawl.  It's nerve racking thinking about all the trouble she can get into, especially in a two story house with tile stairs.  Eeeks!

I was browsing the CVS clearance sale that was reported on Noveau Cheap and saw the new summer Maybelline display.  There was a pretty blue limited edition polish that I picked up called Turquoise Paradise.  It's a well pigmented cream and I used two coats for this mani.  No topcoat because I found it to be really shiny on its own.

I did a little nail art with the mani as well, by adding JulieG Rock Candy as accents - I used it to fully coat the ring finger, to add dots to the middle, and to do a quick gradient on the index finger.  Warning, this stuff is really hard to clean off your skin without leaving a bunch of glitter residue.

I really like the monochromatic look of this mani and found the JulieG texture polish super easy to work with(aside from cleanup).  Rock Candy has multisized hex glitter in the sand finish and it gives a nice multidimensional sparkle.   I love the color too, I've been gravitating towards a lot of cool summery blues and greens this season.  Have you been falling in love with blues this summer?
