China Glaze Strawberry Fields

So I decided to paint this one last night just so I could swatch it for the blog today.  Problem is, the pictures don't do it justice.  I have no good lighting in my life.  My house has horrible lighting, my work has painfully intense fluorescent lighting, and I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the outside.  I think what I need is a really good lamp.

Anyway, this is my favorite color polish that I own.  Now that I have really started doing more with my nails, I know what I wish was different about it, so I can eventually find a new favorite.

It's such a beautiful and girly color.  It's bright and shimmery, but also has a lot of depth.  The only thing I don't like about it are the gold undertones.  I would rather it be a little darker and more pink-ish.

All that said, it's still my go-to pink.  Love it!


For the longest time, I didn't know what the color was.  The sticker on the bottom fell off long ago and the swatches on China Glaze's website are absolutely no help.  I found some swatches and I was about 80% sure it is Strawberry Fields, but it's very close to a couple other China Glaze colors so I wasn't sure...that is until I was in Sally Beauty the other night and I saw Strawberry Fields on the rack...now I know for sure.

And just because I had it at work today while my camera was out, I took a pic of my cuticle oil that I have been using.  It is the Gelish Nourish Cuticle Oil that came with my Gelish Basix Kit.  I love it because it smells so good.  I'm sure it's not the best cuticle oil out there, but it's fine with me.  Plus when I bought my Gelish curing lamp at Sally Beauty, they gave me another little bottle of it for free! So now I have one for work and one for home!  Yay!
