My Favorite Things Challenge Day 1

Gooooooooood morning polish junkies!!! How is everyone this glorious day?  I hope well. 
Today I will be starting the My Favorite Things Challenge that is being hosted by the lovely
Kelly at Ooh La La Polish. My challenge buddy Nicole from Nicole Gets Nailed brought this great challenge to my attention. Thank you ladies very much!

Now on to the challenge.


This should be an interesting challenge! I'm so excited about  doing it, hopefully it will spark my creativity  back up.

Day 1. Favorite color!

This was a difficult decision for me. I Love PINK....I Love Purple. I was torn. So I used them both.

I decided to use 2 brand new polishes from the set my hubby got for me for my birthday, which is tomorrow. (My birthday is like a week long event and I've been getting presents every day this week. Yay me! LOL) He ordered me the matte•n•a collection by Max Makeup Cherimoya.


I used Mystery (purple) and Fairytale (pink)


Now I've only ever seen these polishes on Amazon, so I'm not sure of the popularity.
Mystery was very opaque and only required 1 coat.
Fairytale needed 3 but I still had VNL.


Mystery is a beautiful color, but once I used it on a couple of nails it started to get clumpy. :(
So doing the lines on this was a nightmare! Hence the crappy job. Oh well...I just added a little bit of Kiss Purple Glitter to even it out a bit.


I don't know how often I will use these polishes because they STINK. Literally, they smell so bad it burned my nose! 16 of them came in the set, which I will post about soon.
Either way, they served their purpose for today's mani.
Not my favorite work but again I loved the colors so I guess its a fair trade.

  1. This is gorgeous! I've been looking for really great matte polishes- these look nice. It was hard for me too to pick just one color. I love so many!

    1. ManGlaze has really nice Matte colors. They are pricey but well worth it! I wondered about the thinner too and I probably will try it since this was a fairly inexpensive set of polishes.

    1. It was very beautiful, untill I did the dishes. The color faded! It was weird, the ones with the glitter on top stayed bright and the plain ones dulled out. Guess from now on if I wear it I'll have to use a top coat to keep the rich color.
