China Glaze OMG Text in Colour 2BKEWL Nail Polishes: Mother’s Day Manicure
Posted by Karen on May 10th, 2008
Happy Saturday, girls. I’m lucky enough to live close to my parents, so tomorrow I’m heading home to visit my mom for Mother’s Day. I thought it might be fun if she and I painted our nails a matching color. Here’s the twist: I would like it to be a slightly obnoxious color, so her yoga friends at the senior center can ask her about it (”Girl, I saw those nails from across the room while I was mid-downward dog!”).
Earlier this week, I painted my nails L8R G8R, a green shade from China Glaze’s OMG Text in Colour 2BHot collection. This weekend, just to switch it up, I think mom might like to rock one of China Glaze’s six cool, shimmery shades from the 2BKEWL collection ($27 for the entire set).
I’m trying to decide among…
OMG (Oh my gawd)- holographic grey with rainbow shimmer
2NITE (Tonight) - holographic blue
IDK (I don’t know) - holographic violet
BFF (Best friends forever) - holographic purple-blue
LOL (Laugh out loud) - holographic dark purple
DV8 (Deviate) - holographic teal
I’m leaning toward DV8, but I think all of them are pretty.
OMG
2NITE
IDK
BFF
LOL
DV8
I hope your weekend is off to a good start. What’s on your agenda today?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Happy Saturday!

Hi Glosslizard and Megan,
Thanks for your comments earlier - there were some issues with the code and somehow in the process of fixing the post I lost ‘em all, pooh! I just wanted to let you guys know that they weren’t deleted on purpose, it was accidental.
Hope ya’ll are having a good Saturday.

I love DV8!!! I might need that!
May 10th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
OMG reminds me of the metallic shiny dresses often seen on a stripper!!! Oddly enough I like it
May 10th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
IDK is really nice. Overall, I am more impressed by the 2BHOT collection as compared to the 2BKEWL collection.

Oh so pretty, I love nail polish but after a day I have this habit of picking at them and not liking them on my nails anymore and so I have to remove it quickly… kinda crazy I know, so I swore not to buy anymore nail polish, but these look really pretty/cool… I tempted to get some and I really like LOL, maybe cuz Im in a “purple phase” right now. By the way, thanks for your input on Shore Leave comparasion to NextToNothing, I havent used Shore Leave yet cuz I’m weird like that, I think I’ll wait for the Neo Sci Fi collection to decide whether I want it or not

You chose the right color! DV8 is the best!!!! LOVE IT!
Nikkis last blog post..Happy Mother’s Day to All the Mom’s Across the GLOBE!!!!

I like BFF, I think it’s appropriate for both of you. It’s cute that you and your mom are doing the matching mani-pedi thing. My 2nd choice would be OMG because I like white nail polish

Hi Makeuplovesme,
Girl! I know! They’re kinda crazy but they are fun.
May 11th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Hi Erin,
It’s so fun! I usually don’t wear bright teal blues but I really like it.
How’s your weekend been?
May 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Hi Meaghan,
I like it too! I didn’t think I would when I saw it in the bottle but now I’m really feeling all the crazy, bright colors. Must be beacause summer is right around the corner. Have you had a good weekend so far?

Hi Mis QQ,
I think the 2BHOT collection is slightly more wearable. If I was working in a conservative environment I could prolly get away with those shades more than these.
Are you a bright nail polish kinda girl?
May 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Hi Fia,
I am SO EXCITED about Neo Sci Fi, you don’t even know! I really like the colors and they look very wearable to me.
What top coat are you using for your nails? Have you ever tried Seche Vite? I swear it’s the BEST top coat out there and it makes your polish stay on forever.

Hi Nikki,
DV8 is hot, I agree. Hope you’re having a good one!
May 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Hi Dao,
I like white nail polish too, especially for summer.
I will have to get through this crazy colors phase first!
May 11th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I’m drawn to 2NITE and DV8. If they have those at Ulta, Imma take them home with my 20% off coupon. Haha!
May 12th, 2008 at 4:09 am
OMG all the colours are fab!! I especially liked the Dv8 and 2nite! So what colour did you eventually choose?

Hi Karen, you are right. I think I’m more impressed by the 2BHOT collection because I can picture myself more with those colours.
Bright nail polish - for my toes only, not fingers. Cannot risk causing headaches to my colleagues while I’m typing away. =P
May 13th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Ohhh these are gorgeous! Deviate is my favorite!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Lehea,
I hope you found ‘em at Ulta. I’ve heard they are quite difficult to find, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Ilovecheese,
DV8 was the winner.
How have you been?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Miss QQ,
Yeah, I hear ya. Sometimes I look at my crazy painted nails when I’m typing and I’m like, “WOW! That’s bright!”
I am definitely looking forward to sandal season and bright toe nail polish. Do you have a favorite bright shade?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Juicybeauty,
Yeah, I like that one a lot, too.
