The Big Polish Swap

We've found the pot of gold at the end of "Rainbows and Blues"! In our first ever swap with Anja here's the super generous stash of goodies she sent us, and a video of miss Lilly helping us dig into it!

Claire's Matte Top Coat

These are some older pics of Hard Candy - Sweet P and Opi - My Chihuahua Bites with NYX - Red Glitter. With Claire's Matte top coat. This is the only matte top coat that I have tried so far. I really like it! It dry's fast and wears hard as nails! What are your favorite matte top coats? 4.5 Blings

Pugs N Polish

Lilly
Daphnie

Here they are finally, sporting some sparkley glitter from WetNWild called "Glam"! These are our fur children- Sylvia is mom to Lilly, and April is mom to Daphnie.

So far this is only two coats (we will probably keep adding one a day to keep it on longer). Glitter polish seems to stay very well on puggie paws and doesn't look weird as it wears. 4 blings.

Sinful Colors "Pinky Glitter"

Okay, so I'm going glitter crazy- this is "Pinky Glitter" over the top of my previous Mani, with a cute little flower by Flirt Nail Art :) I love it :)

Refunkatardated

If you like odd, you'll love this. I've got the Sally Hanson Insta-Dri "Mochachino" as a base, with NYX "Rainbow Sparkle" over the top. Aside from the fact that this is clearly a yellow glitter jelly and NYX has no idea how to name their glitters, I'm quite fond of this combo. It's one of those plain looking browns, until you inspect it to find a toxic yellow glow. Very interesting and I'd like to try this glitter over a black base- can we say Mr. Yuck sticker? 4 blings.

WoW! From Classy to Trashy!

Hmmmmm, It seemed like a good idea at the time. I think I am delirious from this fever! So, i wanted to do a sponge gradient over Commander in Chic. So I used Orly - Country Club Khaki in the middle and added a little white to that for the tips. Blaaa! Hate! So to blend it out more I topped it with China Glaze - 5 Golden Rings. Grrrrrrr!
So now it looks like I have VNL and like a two year old slopped some polish on me! :( 1.5 Blings

OPI Look Alikes

Over at Right on the Nail I was looking at the OPI Hot & Spicy Pics and was thinking hmmm, I think I have one just that color. So I pulled out "My Chihuahua Bites" and I think they are Dupes. What do you guys think? My Pics were all taken outside so the color came out a little light. This was three coats. 3.5 Blings

Oh, and I think that I caught that Glitter Bug from Manicured Manatee. It seems to be going around. This is two coats of NYX - Red Glitter (looks orange to me). Over my Chihuahua Bites. I think this looks really HOT! 4 Blings

Hard Candy - Sweet p

Inside

Outside

I knew this polish was sheer so I put two coats over Hi-Tech. This is just far out! I cant tell you cool this is! There is two coats of poshe' as this glitter is a little gritty.
If this doesn't get you noticed nothing will. This is a must have! It would be great for Patty's Day.

Hot Polish!

The first picture is Milani "Juicy Glo" by itself- 5 whopping coats and it's still slightly transparent. It also took forever to dry, but a Poshe' top coat set it nicely after the last coat. The color is out of this world, so it is worth the effort, but next time I'll layer a more opaque orange underneath. 4.5 Blings

The second picture is after adding two coats of Sinful Colors "Smoking Hot". This shimmery glitter looks much more flashy than the picture and dries fast (thank heavens after the above 5 coats!) This combo also gets 4.5 Blings.

Sinful - Pearl Harbor

I really did not want to take off my SH - Purple Pizzazz. It was wearing so nice, and I just Love the color! So I thought I would see what Pearl Harbor on top would look like. WoW! This just jumps out at you. Purple and teal glitter over Burple. This is just so cool. I highly recommend this combo. This is 2 coats of Pearl Harbor. 5 Blings

L.A. Girls Rock Star - Supernova

Today was DH's Birthday so for the celebration I added 1 coat of Supernova to Sally Hansens Flirt. This long stringy glitter is so cool! I'm picking up blue, green, purple and silver. I think this would look so hot over a dark purple this summer! I did add a topcoat to smooth things out. This is the first polish I have used from L.A. Girls, and me likey! 4 Blings
