Random Swatch : CQ Golden Green

Okay, guys, I have quit a few random swatches just hanging around as 'Drafts' in my blog 'Posting' section, so maybe every few days, I'll do a Random Swatch post in the afternoon :)

This is from the new collection of CQ polishes that I saw at Rite Aid last week. There were a few pretty ones, but all looked so close to ones I own, except this beauty! She is called Golden Green, and it's the best description of the color.

    Nice! I haven't seen this one at my Rite Aid yet; I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

    Wow, this is gorgeous! I have never heard of CQ before, but this one looks like a very close dupe for Guppy #77 :)

    Yay for days with double posts! I know you put a lot of time and effort into your mani's so it's cool that you did this extra swatch post for us. This is such a pretty color for spring, I'm kinda tired of the same old pastels we see each year. This looks like a must have!

    Thanks you guys!! It really is a very unique color, to me :)

    evercouldbe, I'll have ot look into that, I've never heard of it :)

    evercouldbe & Cali369, it's a brand that I believe is only sold in Rite Aid drug stores.

    Ella, thank you!!! I"m glad you'll enjoy them, I just have them building up, and I had no idea what to do with them, since they are a mix of brands and colors, lol.

    I'll have to look into that, I've never heard of it :)

    I highly recommend this brand. I never heard of it either, until a few months ago when I came across a youtube nail polish haul video. #77 was featured in there and the girl making the video was talking about how amazing it was and where we could buy it ans so on.

    It's an Korean band that is only available on ebay. You get an 18ml bottle for $2.50. And a lot of people have been praising this brand, even compared it to OPI, which are very big shoes to fill! The Guppy brush looks a lot like the pro wide OPI brush, but it's not that wide. The polish has an amazing formula, if you're careful you can get full opacity with only 1 coat! And it stays on for days without chipping.

    Sorry for rambling, but I love this brand so much and I just want to recommend it as much as I can it to anyone that loves nail polish, even just one of them is a must have IMO! :)

    You can Guppy here at ebay:

    The seller(Jolieeeee) is amazing, nice, friendly and ships incredibly fast :)
