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!

Mother's Day Nails!

Hi guys!  I had a great accomplishment in the world of motherhood this week. My three year old is finally potty trained! It has been a little tough with having a baby and a toddler. She couldn't understand why she had to use the potty and her sister still got to wear a diaper. But now she wants to go to the potty! I'm one happy Momma! Anyway, these are the nails I will be wearing for Mother's Day!


two coats, plus top coat

 I wanted to go with something pink. I choose my old favorite. OPI, Mod About You. It is a beautiful opaque baby pink. The formula is a little thick, but it is not hard to work with. I used some nail stickers that I got at Rite-Aid. I went with a crown on my thumb.  Then a cluster of pearls and rhinestones on my ring finger. I added three rhinestones above the crown, to represent me and my two little princesses! This was my first time using nail stickers. They are super easy, and I really love them!

I love how it turned out! It is so me! Being a Mom can make you feel crazy sometimes, but it is the best job in the world! I am so blessed! I want to wish all you Mom's out there a Happy Mother's Day!

Summer Neons! Essie, Orly, & Fingerpaints

Hi guys!  Essie, Orly, and Fingerpaints have come out with neon polish collections. I only got one from each. After staring at them for awhile they kinda start to look all the same. China Glaze has a neon collection due out in June. I really have high hopes for that one. Anyway, on to the polishes!



Fingerpaints, Warhol Wannabe


 
two coats, no top coat
  Fingerpaints, Warhol Wannabe, a bright neon pink. I absolutely love this polish! It was so easy to apply! Most neon's dry matte but this baby has some shine to it. You can't see it in the first picture but you can in the second one. This would really look amazing with a tan!

two coats, no top coat
 They are seven colors in this collection. Fingerpaints is a great brand. They have awesome formula's and they are budget friendly! $4.99 They are only sold at Sally Beauty Supply



Orly, Skinny Dip

three coats, no top coat

   
Orly, Skinny Dip is a bright medium blue with slight blue shimmers. It is part of Feel The Vibe collection. This polish was on the thin side, but easy to apply. I was hoping it would be brighter that it is, but I'm still glad I have it.

Essie, Action


three coats, plus top coat




Essie, Action is a neon tangerine orange. From the Poppy Razzi collection. I have to start by saying I'm so disappointed in this polish. It is super watery,it was streaky when I applied it, and it is not the color in the bottle. That is the whole reason I picked this polish was because I thought it would be the pretty light neon orange that it looked to be in the bottle. But it dried much darker. Essie is one of my favorite brands, but this polish sucks!

Hope this was helpful! What are some of your favorite neon's?
