I was out at K-Mart on my lunch break the other weekend, putting all the nail polishes back in their correct spots like the OCD person I am, when I stumbled across the most beautiful nail polish I have ever seen in real life.

I only picked up one colour, although several other are nice now that I've googled for swatches, but in no way am I upset I didn't nab any more.
The littl beauty I picked up was Another Daquiri Please, and even as I sit here having bought it nearly a week ago, I can not truly nail one colour to it. It's a kind of pink, but it's also more coral than a pink. And it's bright, very very bright. Then the shimmer, my god... I think it has pink and gold and orange and all these bright shimmery particles that I know are there but aren't showing themselves to me so I can figure out what colour they are.
My only problem with the polish was how sheer it is. I got up to five coats and it was still VNL city. In exasperation, I took it all off and put on the nearest polish to me which happened to be ulta3 Purple Pumps, a purpley pink creme.
Still in love with ADP, I chucked that on top too.
All these shots are two coats of Purple Pumps with two coats of ADP on top. I am so sorry for the crappy quality of these pictures. I could not for the life of me capture the shimmery beauty that ADP was. You'll just have to trust me on this one.
When I put ADP on top of Purple Pumps, the two colours morphed into this really nice deep pink colour. This is definitely a combo I'm going to have to try again.
