Glitzology's Diamonds and Pearls

The second polish in a series of mine featuring Glitzology polishes. This is another one that came in and was gloopy, but Glitzology replaced it. This one is pretty much just like the name says. Diamonds- holographic silver diamond (rhombus) shaped glitter, and Pearls: pearly shimmer throughout. The shimmer sort of threw off my camera which resulted in a blur. This polish was easier to apply than My Viking Boyfriend. In person, this comes off more pearl-white than silver. I also noticed a slight pink shimmer. The shimmer in this polish is (I think) too opaque to use over another polish, thus making this another standalone glitter polish from Glitzology. No fishing necessary, as the polish is ridden with glitter. 3 coats, 2 coats of Sehce Vite. Topcoat is going to be required in order to get this polish to feel smooth. As always, let me know what you think in the comments!


 



Overall Grade: 
B

Darling Diva Polish's "Hope"

You guys I'm so proud of these pictures. Not a single outtake. Woo! I'm getting better. I've been using Heeltastic (weird, I know) on my cuticles and I think it's helping a bit. :) Plus it smells awesomely herbal and gingery.
So this polish, it's by Darling Diva Polish. It's called Hope. I thought it was pretty and nice, etc, and then I realized that I can't find anything about Hope online anywhere. So now I feel super special to have this polish for you guys today! Application was super easy, the glitter blend is very unique and well-balanced, and dry time was impressively fast. Here it is, ladies. What do you think? I have it over Wet n Wild's Tickled Pink, which is one of my favorite polishes and only 99c. :)

Shot Of Glitter's Rarity

Today we have Shot Of Glitter's pretty pony polish, Rarity. Based on this pony from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
Th polish is made up of a white creme base, silver glitter, purple mid-size hexes, white bars, and teal diamonds just like in her cutie mark. A beautiful pony, and a beautiful polish. Here I have 2 coats of Wet n Wild's On A Trip, and 2 coats of Shot Of Glitter's Rarity. What do you think?
In addition to taking up all of my free blogging time, my new job has destroyed my nails and cuticles, so be warned.

Lucky 13's Pumpkin King

Here's the last in a series of 4 polishes from Lucky 13 Lacquer. The collection is inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.



 
Today's polish is Pumpkin King. Let's see Lucky 13's description: "Matte hot orange bars, shiny orange hex, and matte black hex glitters. Inspired by the burning Pumpking King, ". Here's a cool pic I found online. :)
 This polish is the perfect Halloween polish. Formula was great. You'll absolutely need topcoat, it's got so much glitter in it that it becomes a bit rough. Wanna see pics? Well okay. Here it is.
 2 coats, 3 coats, 1 coat
 This pic makes me self-conscious about my palm size. :)



 Oh hey a sunset.

Lucky 13's Zero

Here's the second in a series of 4 polishes from Lucky 13 Lacquer. The collection is inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 
Today's polish "Zero" is inspired by Jack's ghost dog, Zero. Described by Lucky 13: "Ultra-fine white hex, small white square, and medium red square glitters. Inspired by Jack's faithful companion, Zero," . 
 
 
And yep, this beautiful polish really does look like zero. Formula is beautiful. Easy to apply, and the outcome is stunning. This would also be a great polish around Christmas, maybe over a dark green. :) Here it is you guys!

Lucky 13's Bone Daddy

Here's the first in a series of 4 polishes from Lucky 13 Lacquer. The collection is inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Today's polish is Bone Daddy, which is described as follows: "Ultra-fine white hex, small white squares, medium black hex, and small black square glitters, like Jack's characteristic suit,". It really does look just like Jack. Formula was perfect. Very very easy, instant nail art. Topcoat if you want a glassy finish, but I left it without to give it a cool textured feel.


To keep with the Halloween theme, I put this over an orange. This is over Sun Worshiper by China Glaze. A little bright for this mani but it's definitely Halloween. Ignore the ugly Cheeto-ish smudge up my finger. That kinds stuff isn't visible until it gets under the natural lighting. And I wasn't about to go back inside to fix it. Haha. Well here it is!

Dalmation Wedding Nails!

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow! It'll only be my second wedding attended, so I'm quite excited. Today's swatch/mani/combo is featuring a polish from Custom Nail Art on Etsy. It's a black and white glitter polish called Dalmatian. It's going to match my dress perfectly! It's my first b/w glitter polish so I was nervous about the outcome but I really like it! There's more white than black in this one, as is true with the dog of it's namesake. Application was a dream. I didn't have to manipulate the glitter too much but if you want a precise and even array of glitters, you're going to have to. The base is Wet N Wild Through The Grapevine. Here are the pictures. They're a bit blurry today, the Olympics' Opening Ceremony was on, I couldn't waste time taking pictures! :P





 The lineup!
1 coat, 3 coats (would have been fine in 2 but I nicked it!), 1 coat, 1 coat.
