This has been my mani since last Thursday, so excuse any imperfections. I think it's held up pretty well, though, all things considered. I'm sad that I didn't get pics of this in the sun, but the weather is crappy here today.
I've made a few really exciting polish purchases recently (for a friggin' steal, too!), so I'm super excited for everything to get here.

Haulage
Some recent purchases. The OPIs were mainly purchased for the display art. I adore the Pirates franchise, okay?! They could make ten more movies and I'd watch them all happily. Slap that skull and cross-swords logo on anything and I'd feel obligates as a fan of the film series to purchase it. Even owning these I still feel the need to get the mini set, too.
DAMN YOU, OPI.
OPI Pirates of the Caribbean collection.
OPI Silver Shatter
Zoya Snow White, Gaia, Danielle and Gigi
Zoya Shimmer, Phoebe and Raven
Orly Meet Me Under the Mistletoe and Milani Gems (pink glitter version)
Essie Turquoise & Caicos + OPI Silver Shatter
I'm back, after having not one, but BOTH of my cameras being out of commision for a while. And I return with my current mani, which is going on four days strong. I LOVE this combination SO MUCH. I seriously can't stop staring at my nails.

Kelancolor Red-Hot
Apt polish name is apt.
It's pretty enough in the bottle:
And pretty meh when swatched alone:
But when layered over black (Pop Beauty Black, in this case), it is RED HOT:
I LOVE this mani, and I'm so sad I'm going to be removing it shortly (need to file in the worst way! ack!). This polish looks great over Milani Garnet Gems (or CG Lubu Heels or any similar shade), too, which is what I should have paired it with in the first place, but I forgot I had it and just wound up swatching that combination on a false nail after my full mani was done.
Loooove.
Definitely going to break this one out again after Easter, but on shorter nails and I'm sure I'll love it even more then, just because I prefer wearing darker shades on shorter talons.
Kleancolor has a ton of crazy, fun glitters, along with your more normal shades, and they're super affordable. They even offer free shipping over $40 on their website. I got this one from ebay, but I'll definitely be place an order on the official site sometime in the near future.

Rainbow glitter mani
Loooooved this mani. The glitters are all from the Color Club glitter collection that came out a few years back, except for the blue, which is Pure Ice Strapless, I believe. They're all layered over a coresponding cream shade... I don't even remember all the ones I used. Um. Ruby Deer by China Glaze (red), Pippa by Zoya (yellow), Starboard by China Glaze (green), the blue... that might be Calypso Blue (?) by Orly and then Grape Pop by China Glaze (purple).
I do wish I had a true yellow glitter, but the gold worked okay layered over Zoya's Pippa, I think.

Shop
Just a quick head's up: added some polish I want to unload and some custom nail sets to my shop :D
OPI Simmer & Shimmer
I recently purchased three of the Burlesque glitters (better late than never?) and this was the first I wore. Loooove it. I'm wearing 2 (?) coats over China Glaze Sea Spray in the images.
Haul post soon-ish, hopefully. I have accumulated an embarrassing amount of polish this month, and I'm still expecting a shipment in the mail x_x
