Glitah!!!!

It's been a few weeks since my last post so....time for a new one!!! Woo hoo!!! I do like me some glitter and was in the mood for it so I came up with a variation on a french manicure.





I use China Glaze's Aqua Baby (2 coats on top of a base coat). I used 1 coat of Seche Vite to get it to dry faster and some drying drops. I've seen people use reinforcements for the half moon manicure but I used it to get the bottom of the tips to be a little more rounded cause I suck freehanding it and tape was too straight of a line for me for what I wanted. But the tips are OPI's Simmer and Shimmer and then I Seche Vite'd the crap out of it (2-3ish coats). The glitter in the Simmer and Shimmer has a rough texture to it and I wanted it to be smooth. Overall though I liked how it turned out and should sparkle pretty well in the sun light.





I've decided to catalog my nail polish with color wheels, I'll have to post pics from that later...I also need another way to organize my polish. I've outgrown my current storage and still have nail polish on it's way. I'm hoping to get my order soon. It's some Zoya polishes which I've never tried before but hope to have some luck with them. More to come later!!!

My 1st Watermarble

I first saw watermarbling on MySimpleLittlePleasures' YouTube channel and thought it looked awesome and wanted to try it. So this was my first attempt. I started with a base coat and 1 coat of China Glaze's White on White. I then used the White on White and OPI's Ogre-The-Top-Blue and What's With the Cattitude. I liked the effect but I do need more practice on it.

I've also got new polishes!!! Woo hoo!!! I also found some of the China Glaze's Tronica Collection at Sally's and they were reduced to $1.99. I also got the OPI Silver Shatter at Ulta and the ones out the Pirates of the Caribbean that I liked.


I have also discovered they are selling Zoya at Ulta. I hadn't ever seen this one there before but OK is the last to get things sometimes. I would like to try some Zoya polishes. Off to go roll around in my new polishes...ROFL!!!
