Sea Lore Spring Seas Collection Day 4: Popping Parrotfish!

Hello, readers! I have the fourth polish in the new Sea Lore Spring Seas Collection to show you today! If you missed my 3 previous posts on the other Spring Seas Collection polishes, you can find them below:

Leaping Lyretail
Jumping Jellyfish

Popping Parrotfish is a light mint creme with a sparkling green base and a glitter rainbow! The base has a beautiful shimmer and the colors of glitters compliment it nicely. I'm showing two coats below with two coats of top coat. Make sure you let the first coat dry before adding the second to prevent any glitter dragging off the first coat. I love how the base is a creme and yet you can still easily see the different glitters floating in it! 

If you are unfamiliar with Parrotfish, here is a photo I used from google image search to inspire my nail art:


Here is my swatch with my attempt at a parrotfish:


Look at that shimmer! That may be my favorite part of Sea Lore polishes!

My Parrotfish really looks like a cross between a parrot bird and a fish LOL!


Tell me your thoughts on the fourth polish in the new Spring Seas Collection! Stay tuned for the last polish in the Spring Seas Collection!

My Mani For Celiac Awareness!

Good morning, readers! I'm showing you what I'm currently wearing on my nails (which, believe it or not, doesn't happen often over here at Adventures In Acetone. A lot of the time I am showing older looks or swatches so my nails hardly match the post when I am writing it up) in support of Celiac Awareness. A friend of mine asked if I would take part in posting this week and here is a little information on the disease if you are unfamiliar:

"May is Celiac Awareness month and its colors are yellow and green. Celiac Disease is more than an allergy to gluten. Gluten is an ingredient found in bread, pasta, anything wheat-based, and even items such as soy sauce. Basically gluten is in much of our daily food. From the National Foundation from Celiac Awareness, “Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. What does this mean? Essentially the body is attacking itself every time a person with celiac consumes gluten.” When someone with Celiac eats gluten, it can take the intestine up to a year to heal from the gluten attack. You can find more info at http://www.celiaccentral.org/"

As you've seen before on my blog, I am always up for raising awareness! I chose to do a simple polka dot mani with two of my new textured polishes: Zoya Solange and Kiko 643 Sugar Mat. I am wearing this as a full mani and love how the dots add even more dimension and texture to the mani.

I wore 2 coats of each Kiko 643 and Zoya Solange and then added the dots with my dotting tool. No top coat, of course!





What do you think of this look? Are you familiar with Celiac Disease or know anyone with it? Let's raise awareness! Thanks for reading!

Lancôme Simply Aqua Swatch and Review!

Hello, readers! I have a polish to share with you today from the new Lancôme Aquatic Summer Collection! It is called Simply Aqua and is my first Lancôme polish. You may remember my Press Release from this Aquatic Summer Collection, but if you don't, you can click my link below to see the other 3 colors.

http://www.adventuresinacetone.com/2013/05/new-lancome-aquatic-summer-collection.html

Simply Aqua is a pale blue that almost leans periwinkle on my skin tone. It applied beautifully and the beveled brush made it really easy. The color was sheer, however, and required 4 coats for complete coverage. It is very shiny on it's own and I am showing it without top coat so you can see.


So shiny without top coat!

The beveled brush edge for easy application.

I love the pretty box it comes in! As you can see, these bottles are smaller than average, only 6 ml.


What do you think of Simply Aqua from Lancôme's Aquatic Summer Collection? This collection is only out for a limited time to get yours while you can! 

You can buy this, as well as the 3 other Aquatic Summer polishes(shown below) for $15 each at Lancome.com and at all Lancôme Counters.


Thank you for reading!
