Color Club 'Sugar Plum Fairy'

This is from the Color Club Beyond the Mistletoe collection.  It's 6 glitters and a top coat (and I got mine at Ross for $8!).  'Sugar Plum Fairy' is a light lavender holographic glitter.  Because a friend of mine told me that this one took more coats I thought that it wouldn't cover, so I started with a layer of LA Colors 'Black Velvet'.  I really wish I hadn't done that, because it shows where the glitter doesn't cover.  And this is 4 coasts.  So if you use this layer over silver (Used that on a friend of mine (Sarah) and it looked great).  But the rainbows that flash across the nail is MAGIC!  (top picture in the sun bottom in the shade)  Do you have any holographic nail polish?

L.A. Colors 'Atomic' and Sinful Colors 'Nail Junkie'

Ok so 'Nail Junkie' is like one of my favorite nail polishes.  Over any blue or teal color.  And I used this L.A. Colors (two perfect coats) and wanted to add some sparkle and GLITTTTER!

Here it is (ain't it purty?!?!):

It's actually really gold and awesome.  It's a very lightly tinted  teal jam packed with gold and light teal glitter with gold flakies (1 coat).  And 'Atomic' is a really pretty creme and it looks exactly like it does in the above picture.  And for $1 that's a good deal.  Sorry for the awkward cuticle line.

This shows the truest color but it's a bit blurry.  ISN'T IT PRETTY!?!

Now, I have a question for you guys.  For that like month that I had 7 manis that weren't photographed of blogged.  Here they are:

Day 6: Violet Nails

Why don't they just say purple?  I never understood the purpose of the word 'violet'.  Any ways I have a ba-jillion untried purple nail polishes.  But I decided to be a butt and not use them.  I started out with *4* horrible coats of L.A. Colors 'Nuclear Energy'.  I have 20 LA Colors and that's because Mimi had a spa birthday and everyone got a mani and a bottle of polish.  I got all of the left over polish.   Unfourtunatly, there colors are so sheer (the shimmers are the worst).  There cremes are all jellys, and it takes at least two coats of glitter to get 'sparse glitter'.  Here's my swatch:

Sorry for the messy-ness, butt any more than two coats and I stop caring.   This is a weird color.  It went anywhere from a grey plum to a deep purple to the color you see here.  Well I honestly should've stopped there but I didn't.  I added Sinful Colors 'Dream On'.  That color dries matte but in some lights it's an AMAZING deep purle, or a darker magenta.  It's weird.  I did a Half n' half tape man and it was... well... awkward... 

Head on you can't really see the difference in the colors

 Here's an angle.  I did 'Dream On' on the other side on the middle finger.

I don't like this manicure.  It makes me sad.  Oh well!  Probably going polish shopping this weekend!  Oh yeah BTW I'm going out of town so my ability to keep the challenge up is with Mimi. 

No pressure though!

Wet n Wild 'Party of Five Glitters'

Now, I know most bloggers have already posted about this nail polish , But since I bought it with the other Wet  n Wild Fastdry polishes and this one is just glittery and rainbow-y.  (btw the hand model is maren and she felt the need  to sloppily put on other coats (ggrrrrr.....).  

This is 4 coats of 'Party of Five Glitters' over bare nails (well if you want to get technical it's over a base coat. 

On Mimi's other hand we put 'PO5G' (sorry it's such a long name and I was getting lazy).  Here's the colors we used:     

THUMB: LA Colors 'Black Velvet'

POINTER: Sinful Colors 'Dream On'

MIDDLE: ALDO 'Pampered Patent'

RING: Wet n Wild 'SaGreena the Teenage Witch'

PINKIE: Revlon 'Silver Dollar'

Sorry there aren't any pictures of it over black but that's shown so often that we didn't really feel the need to include it.  Here, is a link to one of our favorite nail bloggers -Kayla Shevonne- Who shoes it over black and in comparison to Deborah Lippmann's 'Happy Birthday' (which looks nothing like PO5G)

All in all, for $1.99 (although right now there $0.99 at Walgreens!!) this is a really good glitter that any nail junkie should have.

Black, White & Yellow Water Marble

So on Thursday I decided to water marble my nails ( don't water marble at 9:30 on a screen porch with bad lighting.  Just saying...).  I had wanted to do a black and white water marble for time but i thought just black and white would be kinds boring.

(left to right: L.A. Colors Shock, Black Velvet, ALDO Bauhaus Architect, Sinful Colors Snow Me White)

So I added L.A. Colors Shock and ALDO Bauhaus Architect (looked it up and Bauhaus is a design school).  In each water marble I did I only had one "ring" of the orange (although it only showed up orange on one of my nails)

Shiny:

Ok, so I know that i had said that this was the mani with  Seche Vite o top but for strange reasons it looks satin-y. 

MATTIFIED:

I love the way my middle finger came out on this hand!

I like the middle finger best on this hand unfortunately when I matted this hand a bunch of weird spots came up. (best seen on the pinkie)

ALL TOGETHER NOW!
