All That Glitters, Hole Hearted

Hey everyone! I'm finally back! I have missed you all so much! It took a lot longer to move than I thought it would. We are finally settle. I never want to move again. Anyway, I finally had time to sit and do my nails!  So I decided to show you this awesome polish I got from allthatglitters.etsy.com. I know, I have an Etsy problem. It's called Hole Hearted. Has black hexagons with white heart shaped glitters in a clear base. I used China Glaze Hang-Ten Toes, from the new neon collection, as my base color.

The best way to get the hearts is to use a dotting tool or tooth pick to pick them up off the brush and place them where you want them.



I used a really thick coat of top coat to smooth out the surface, and to make it super shiny.

I love how stark the hearts look and how they stand out. I can't stop looking at my nails! This is my favorite glitter polish so far!





I really love this blog. I want to thank all of you who comment and send me messages. It really means alot to me. Talk to you guys next time!

Glitter, Glitter, and more Glitter!

Happy Friday! So today I wanted to show you some swatches of some of my favorite glitter polishes. I'm going to make it short and sweet so it won't take forever to get through this post. Hope you like!

OPI, Crown Me Already is jammed packed with four different sized silver glitter. Opaque in two coats.

OPI, Teenage Dream is a pink glitter with holographic hexagons in it. Beautiful! Two coats.

Sally Hansen Gem Crush, Big money is hard to describe. It is like a champagne gold glitter with bigger hexagons that look silver but reflects purple. I love this one! Two coats.

Color Club, Magic Attraction is all holographic glitter. It looks so much better in person. If you love glitter and don't have this you need to get it. Two coats.

 Claire's, Night Sky is a mix of navy blue glitter and holographic glitter. Two coats.

Essie, A Cut Above is so beautiful! It is a mix of different sized pink shiny glitter. I love it! Two Coats.

China Glaze, Techno is a clear base with tiny silver glitter with big hexagon shaped holographic glitter. The holo really stands out in this polish. One coat of glitter over two coats of L'oreal, jet set to paris.

China Glaze, Fairy Dust a clear base with super fine holographic glitter. It is so much prettier in person than in the photo. It is the perfect glitter just to add to jazz up any manicure!  One coat of glitter over two coats L'oreal, jet set to pairs.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Set the Stage clear base with small and large gold glitter. I love this one because it just adds a touch of sparkle. Two coats of glitter over one coat of Sinful Colors, Outrages.


I really hope this was useful! I loved to hear your favorite glitter polishes!

Fun Fuchsia manicure

Today have this really fun manicure to show you all. I wore this for my little girls birthday party. Hope you like!

I used China Glaze, Fuchsia Fanatic, a beautiful berry color. Has jelly finish. Went on like butter! Two coats. I have never had a polish that went on a smooth has this one. I love it!
Then I added one coat of China Glaze, Tecno, a clear base with small and large holo hexagons. (Both are from the ElectroPop collection) I just added one black rhinestone to each nail. I really like how it turned out.

Glamorous Bridal nail art

Hi Guys!
So today I have my first nail look for brides. This is for the bride who wants to sparkle and shine but not be to dramatic. Hope you like!

I used three polishes. Pure Ice Nasty Girl, a sheer white shimmery metallic with a hint of pink. China Glaze Fairy Dust, a fine holo glitter. Color Club Magic Attraction, a medium sizes holo glitter.

First I applied Nasty Girl with a cosmetic sponge starting a little bit above my cuticle, using a dabbing motion. I did this three or four times staring a little above where I started the time before to make a gradient effect. Then I used Fairy Dust with the sponge the same way I did the first polish only doing it twice. Lastly I used Magic Attraction on the very tips of my nail with sponge. After it dried added my top coat.

I really love how this turned out. This would look so good on long nails. You don't have to be a bride to wear this. I'm going to be rockin this at the grocery store! lol! Let me know what you think :)

Pastel abstract nail art

Today I have this pastel abstract nail art. It was really fun doing this design. I'm new to nail art, so this was a perfect design to just do and not have to worry about being neat. It looks kinda messy, but I think it looks great that way! I hope you all do too!

For my base color I used OPI Suzi & The Lifeguard. It is a shimmery light pink with a little bit of a pearl finish. Then I used a striper brush and did random stripes of white and lavender acrylic paint. For the glitter stripes I used Ghina Glaze Full Spectrum from their new Prismatic Chorma line.

Thanks for reading!
