Going Down Under: Chi Chi Cosmetics (Part II)

Welcome to the second and final part of the Chi Chi swatches. Enjoy!
All the purchase info is in Part One.
First up - California Gurl. Pale yellow with shimmer - very beachy!
With Flash
This one needed 3 coats.
Lamp Light
Natural Light
Next I layered an unnamed, but interesting glitter from the 8 pack gift set.
It has micro glitter in emerald, and large hex glitters in gold, emerald and teal.
Natural Light
Glitter pay-off is amazing in this polish - I needed one coat!
 However, I can see that it will benefit from a drop of thinner in the near future.
This may be due to the heat wave we had at the end of December (the polish was sitting near the window)
Direct Sunlight
Lamp Light
This next shade is called Marcia Marcia Marcia - a soft lavender pink.
I only need one coat for full coverage and it works for stamping!
With Flash
Natural Light
Lamp Light
I added a multi glitter topper to Marcia Marcia Marcia for the photos below.
This is another polish from the gift set - so no name.
 Makes me sad not to call it anything, because the glitter is so fun!
Natural Light
Again, the glitter pay-off is incredible - one coat here!
With Flash
This gorgeous teal shimmer/foil is from the clearance bin, with no label! Argh!
Can't find anything similar on the website, so if you do know the name - please tell me!
Direct Sunlight
ONE COAT!!!!
Lamp Light
Natural Light
Next one is Cat Fight - love the names!
This is a pink leaning purple with a subtle duochrome effect at certain angles.
Natural Light
I needed 3 thin coats for full coverage.
Direct Sunlight
Lamp Light
Another purple - this time a darker creme - Style Stealer.
Almost one coater, I did two just to make sure.
Direct Sunlight
Lamp Light
I added another glitter topper to Style Stealer - nameless yet again.
This has teal and turquoise specks, as well as navy and silver hex glitter.
The base is slightly tinted, so best worn over a dark colour.
Natural Light
Direct Sunlight
It looks so much more interesting in person!!! Just trust me on this)
Lamp Light
And finally, here is the little monkey boy - the silly bum tucked himself under the sheet:

Hope you've enjoyed these swatches - I have lots more to come before the month is out!
