Twinsie Tuesday: Spring to Summer Transitional Polish


It's really sad when long weekends end, especially when you feel like you -- or in this case, I -- didn't adequately take advantage of it.  Given the fact that I went to a Connecticut spa and inn on a family-girls' vaca, went insane furniture shopping, and picked out all the paint we'll be using this upcoming weekend, I really shouldn't complain; however, given that it's 9:48pm Monday night as I write this, I'm just exhausted.  All I want is another day to catch up with everyone else's 3-day weekend.  Ugh.

 Anyways, to the Twinsie Tuesday post!  For my spring to summer transitional polish, I knew that I had to choose one of my favorite go-to colors for this season: peach!  I personally find that given the shade, peach is the ultimate transitional color since depending on its tone, finish, and base, can really shift shades dramatically.  For today's polish, I chose China Glaze Mimosa's Before Mani's (don't even get me started on those ridiculously placed apostrophes), of China Glaze's Avant Garden Spring 2013 Collection.

 MBM (because I refuse to write the whole title again due to my strict grammatical principles) is a warm-toned, orange-based peach creme with hidden golden shimmer.  Application was phenomenal and covered beautifully in  two coats. 





 When the sun/flash hits MBM, there's a creamsicle-like quality that erupts that just screams  almost summer.  Love, love, love this China Glaze.
