MCM Everyday!: Red & Blue NOTD!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Hope everyone is enjoying nice weather, spending time with your family and friends and doing something to remember what Memorial Day is all about. We're having some great weather and I spent the day at my cousins for a cookout to celebrate my Godson's birthday. Since I got out of work early yesterday I took the opportunity to paint my nails red and blue. I didn't do any crazy nail art or anything, I'll save that for the 4th of July maybe.

I used Zoya America on my toes, because well, it's called America and it's my favorite red. I used two coats. Then, I've been wanting to try out Nails Inc Baker Street ever since I bought it months ago but I just haven't put it on my nails for some reason. This polish has been hyped up for a while now, apparently Beyonce wore it? I really had no idea. I just kept seeing it on blogs and saw how amazing it was and I knew I needed it!

It's a flipping amazing blue! It's an electric blue but it's so wearable! Also, it's almost the exact color of the cool ranch Doritos bag :) lol. Anyway, it's creamy and dries shiny. For the pictures below I used two coats, my Orly bonder base coat and no top coat.

The only issue I found was that sometimes since it was so creamy, it was hard for me to get just the right amount of polish on the brush. Sometimes I'd have so much polish on the brush it would go all over my cuticles, this happened more when I was doing my right hand since I'm a righty. This could be because of the consistency of the polish or the fact that the brush is so long but the "handle" or top of the bottle that you use to paint your nails is just an odd shape for me that I'm not used to. So, this could just be user error, as in my bad, or just be something to be aware of with thicker creamier polishes. Make sure you have a steady hand and apply just the right amount, also shake well before applying. I also wrapped my tips on the first coat.
