Shiny Mix - China Glaze Glitter All The Way

It's a partaaaaaay on my nails!

[Indoors: China Glaze Glitter All The Way]

China Glaze Glitter All The Way is a combo of green, yellow, red and purple glitter. The green glitter are slightly bigger. It's a fun, pretty nail polish, that achieves full opacity with three coats.

I really have no other comment other than I like the colour combo so I like the polish!

Fire It Up - Zoya Sarah

Just a brief one today! =) I have a habit of collecting Zoya reds because I just love their glass fleck finish~

[Bottle to nail: Zoya Sarah (2 coats)]

This one's Zoya Sarah - a gorgeous bright red. It looks like there's gold shimmer, but on the nail it's more of a neutral to cool red. 

[2 coats: Zoya Sarah]

Formula is great as usual - this is two coats. Glossy goodness! =)
Hope y'alls be enjoying your long weekend!

Abstract Patriot - Sally Hansen Blue It, Tropez White Hot, Color Club Wish List Red, LA Girl Celebrate

Happy Australia Day! Time for beeer, beaaach and barbequeeee~ =D

[Oyyyyyy~]

I wanted to do something for the occasion and decided to stick to the classic red, white and blue of the flag - so really, it could do for a whooooollle lot of other countries too!

[Bottle to nail: Sally Hansen Blue It (2 coats)]

I started with this gorgeous shade, definitely a "true blue", hehe.... This is Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Blue It. It seems like just a plain ole shimmer at  first glance but it has this gorgeous glowyness. It looks super sleek - like a racing shade!

Formula was great. It does take two coats to fully level out, but the results are beautifully smooth!

[Tape manicure: Sally Hansen Blue It, Tropez White Hot, Color Club Wish List Red]

After topcoating the blue base, I taped off half the nail diagonally and added the white using Tropez White Hot, a plain white creme.

After the white was dry, I taped again and added the red using Color Club Wish List Red - a bright red jelly with red glitter. This one really popped with the white underneath!

[Gradient manicure: Sally Hansen Blue It, LA Girl Celebrate]

I also did an experimental gradient with LA Girl Glitter Addict in Celebrate, a mix of small and large hexes in red, white, medium blue and magenta. However, I didn't quite like the results as much... Not showy enough for my tastes! =p

Anyway, hope y'all have a great long weekend!

Royal Blue - L'oreal 811, Femme Fatale Eventide[[

Dooop de dooooooop, time to play with new nail polish!

[Femme Fatale Eventide over L'oreal Color Riche 811]

This is Femme Fatale Eventide over L'oreal Color Riche 811. Eventide has medium gold hex glitter, large gold square glitter, smaller green-gold hex, square and short bar glitter, and small pink hex glitter. Femme Fatale balances their amount of glitter rather well so you don't have to go fishing for their glitter. However, Eventide is not one of my favourites from them because some of their hexes are a bit too curly for my liking, even after top coats.

I wanted to try putting on the glitter in different ways other than just layering it over. So you have the gradual increase to the tips above.

[Femme Fatale Eventide over L'oreal Color Riche 811]

And here I have Eventide as side accents. With glitter, I don't feel that you have to tape it off to paint only a section. I do like how this one turned out. It looks like my blue mani has gold flaked accents. :)

[L'oreal Color Riche 811]

A little about L'oreal 811 on its own. It's a deep blue with green shimmer. It might look like there are bubbles here, but it's just an illusion caused by how my camera photographs the shimmer. The green shimmer does come across strongly, which is a nice touch, and the application is smooth. But whether it's a must have... well, I leave that up to you, but I personally don't think so.

Glitz Party - Milani Glitzy Stiletto, Color Club Enchanted Holiday

Here's an attention-catching manicure! Sometime in December, I was hit by the Pink Bug! Usually I'm an unconventional colour person but I was really going for the pinks and reds last month. Here's one of my manicures...

[I feel it on my fingers...]

Pink and gold - festive AND girly! Excuse my little stubby nubbin', I had a bad break just before and had to cut them all down soon after. =C

[Bottle to nail: Milani Glitzy Stiletto]

I started with Milani Glitzy Stiletto, a bright pink shimmer with super sparkly fuchsia glass flecks throughout. Formula was thin and even - excellent pigmentation. It's one of those polishes that build up really well.

[2-3 coats: Milani Glitzy Stiletto]

I think this was two coats, possibly three? The colour deepens the more coats you add so it's really up to you. =) It's pretty gorgeous just on its own, and definitely "glitzy"!

[Base: Milani Glitzy Stiletto; Tips: Color Club Enchanted Holiday]

I then freehanded some straight tips with Color Club Enchanted Holiday, a gold glitter polish in a clear base.

Tada! Simple but oh so flashy. Definitely something to save for the summer months and party nights~ =)

Seafoam - Kleancolor Metallic Aqua, Metallic Green

Sorta keeping with the green theme... And let's have another gradient!

[Kleancolor Metallic Aqua and Metallic Green]

This gradient combines two of my current favourite plishes! I'm totally obsessed with Kleancolor's metallic collection, and here are two lovely ones; Kleancolor Metallic Aqua and Metallic Green. Metallic Aqua is this bright blue, almost teal colour, while Metallic Green is this gorgeous apple green shade. The finish for Kleancolor's Metallic polishes are foil-like.

I used the gradient sponging method, and it's really so easy to do with foil polishes.

Here's another picture under different lighting. My camera kinda freaked out over this mani.
