Glitter Mania!

Yeah, I have the glitter bug. I blame all of those Deborah Lippmann glitters! Even though I don't own a single one. :D Here is NYX Superfunk and L.A. Girl Nostalgic over Zoya Kendal, and then alternately topped with Pure Ice's Busted, and Heart Breaker.

Oh, tip wear, you are the bane of my manicures.

I thought it turned out pretty nice; the sheer Pure Ice shimmers really changed the overall colors and added that extra something. They are really excellent for layering and adding depth. And I think these glitter + pastel manis are perfect for Spring!

Last month I made my first purchase from Beauty Joint so I could try out KleanColor's amazeballs color-shifting glitters and a few NYX glitters, too. Here are Chunky Holo Bluebell and Chunky Holo Black over Revlon Indigo Night, one of the new ColorStay polishes.

Sooo awesome!! A rainbow of tiny and hexagonal glitter. I thought the blue would make a good contrast with the most visible colors, red-orange. Although as you can see, I got some yucky looking tip wear. :/ Probably should have wrapped my tips.

The only issue with KleanColor I had was the smell, wow! I'd heard it was pretty awful, and that is no joke. And even when it dries and you've washed your hands many times, it's still pretty stinky. But, oh well; it makes up for it's dreadful odor with a shiny spectrum of awesomeness. ♥

If the glass slipper fits...

Here's a new color by Sinful Colors, Cinderella. Its a beautiful glass-flecked pale blue with pink-gold shimmer and, wow, it is a stunner. It goes on rather sheer; I used three coats here, but it's totally worth it. Now onto the picture spam!

Look at that fiery sparkle! As you can see the nail line is still somewhat visible, so it may be easier to layer over another polish for full opacity.

I think this color would be great to layer over, but it's really amazing on it's own. Hope to see more like this one from Sinful Colors!

Time to go Green!

Lately I have been really into green manis, so I thought this would be good time to share some ideas for St. Patrick's Day!

Honestly I don't really do all that much for St. Patrick's Day. My family has some Irish heritage so every year my mother would cook us corned beef and cabbage, but now that I'm older if I want to get in the Irish spirit I can just drink! (Kidding, mostly.) However I do like to wear something green, if just to keep strangers from touching me.

With this mani I wanted to recreate one of my favorite glitter polishes from indie brand Nostalgic Lacquer, Duckie. She restocks often and has quite a few great colors, so definitely check out her store!
