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.

March madness?

Purchases made in the month of March. I think I need a twelve step program.

China Glaze Lightning Bolt

Crackle Glaze in Lightning Bolt over Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Sea Breeze... I think. The sticker fell off on the bottle. Whatever it is, I love this combo!

There's definitely a learning curve with these. This is my second mani with the Crackle Glaze, and while I didn't think I did too bad the first time around, this one is definitely better. There's only one nail I'm not happy with since I applied a bit too thick, but other than that, I love it.

Haul!

My China Glaze Crackle Glaze came in yesterday and, oh my God, these things are SO much fun to play with. I didn't get the purple one because I wasn't too fond of the shimmer finish for a crackle polish, but I plan to place another order right after this entry to amend that. I NEED it. And I'll probably pick up a few back ups of at least the black and the white.

The Pop Beauty polished are from a different order that I got last week and haven't shared yet.

 

 (China Glaze Crackle Glaze Lightning Bolt, Cracked Concert, Crushed Candy, Broken Hearted and Black Mesh)

 (China Glaze Dorothy Who? and Grape Pop)

 (Pop Beauty Twinkle, Radioactive, Ablaze, Turquoise, Ocean, XMas and Black)

The shimmer in both Radioactive and Ablaze are INCREDIBLE. I captured it pretty well with Radioactive, but not so much with Ablaze. It's the same kind of shimmer in both, though. So pretty.

Valentine mani!

This didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned, but I don't dislike it by any means. I used China Glaze Pelican Grey as a base and Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty over it. The little hearts are just fimo slices that I painted in the pastel shades from China Glaze's Up and Away collection. I used a perfume box my sister got from Victoria Secret as my original inspiration.

First post!

What better way to get the ball rolling on this thing than to do a review of the damage I did this month?
