August Is Orange

For some reason I'm totally attracted to orange these days. I wanted something to make that Claire's - Crush look prettier.

This is N.Y.C. - Times Square Tangerine Creme by itself. It's a soft, milky medium orange.

















Here it is with the Crush bottle:

Not nearly a match.













Together they look okay though....

The Crush brightened up the tangerine a little and the glitter is cute. Not super-fantastic, but I wore it all day.

















When I got home I thought of a better match:

Crush with Color Club - Explosive.













Explosive is a neon butternut squash color. A very weird neon indeed.

Explosive by itself. No matter who you are I think it would make your skin look gray. Yet, I like it!!! It photos slightly yellower. Imagine a nuclear squash.
















And here is the layered love child:

Yeah, I know, right? Don't tell them they have an ugly baby.










Closer up cuz you can't really see that at all.

It makes me not care.












I went searching for a peaches-and-cream-type color, but I think I lent it to my friend. THAT ONE will be the perfect match, I just know it! THAT ONE will make MAGIC HAPPEN!!!!

  1. Wow, Color Club Explosive is the craziest yellow I've ever seen. Might have to buy it. :)

    Also, I have a question -- How many coats did the tangerine NYC require to get that opaque orange? Some of their polishes are annoyingly sheer and others are opaque in one coat, so I was just wondering.

  2. Hi Pam! I recommend the Color Club!! It is very crazy and cute! And slightly more orangey than the picture so it's really unusual. The NYC must have been two or three coats, but was not annoyingly sheer. I only have a couple of them and have liked their formula overall.
