Lemon Fizz & Cupcake Sprinkles

I was staring at some glitter I purchased and decide I absolutely must franken with it.
The rest is history.
Here it is! Two coats of my very own Cupcake Sprinkles over three coats of China Glaze Lemon Fizz!
Doesn't this combo just scream spring?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

2 China Glaze 1 Color Club And Stamping

I don't have much of an introduction for this post. And I'm pretty darn sure my Oral Communications teacher would probably hang her head in shame. So here we go.
I started with three coats of China Glaze Light As Air from the Up & Away collection (Spring 2010), sponged Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy (Holiday 2011), and stamped with China Glaze Four Leaf Clover--also from the Up & Away collection--using Bundle Monster Plate BM203.

I was in my usual polish hangout (Icing) and I finally saw a polish I didn't already own. So here it is, Citrus Glitzorama.
According to the manager its a new color they just got in. Which would explain why I couldn't find swatches of it anywhere else.
Citrus Glitzorama is a bright--almost neon in some lighting--tangerine creme packed with gold toned hexagon shaped flakie glitter.
This color makes me wish it was summer.

The Strangest Glitter I've Ever Seen
Monday, January 23, 2012nail a college drop out
So, I'm at the cash register (in Icing of course) and I spot the strangest glitter polish I've ever seen.
Isn't this, The Golden Age of Glitter, something else? I had to buy two because it was so unique.
This is three coats. Trust me, the bald spots aren't nearly as noticeable in real life.
As expected it is a real pain in the ass to take off. Nonetheless, it's still a very intriguing glitter polish!

Since I featured this polish in a previous haul post, I've been asked on a few occasions for swatches. And what kind of blogger/polish enthusiast would I be if I refused?
This is three coats kind of blobbed on to get the bigger pieces on.
Let's get this party started!

Think of Party Confetti as The Party Has Arrived but with big violet hexagon glitter as apposed to being all fuchsia all the time.

In lieu of the haul I featured yesterday, why not pair an Electropop with a kick ass glitter?
Yeah, that's right! You're looking at shards of glitter! Unique isn't it? This is two coats of Icing After Party over China Glaze Aquadelic.
Remember kids, after the party is the hotel lobby.

I mentioned yesterday that I've been stalking this polish and I finally got it! Although, it isn't as vibrant as some pictures may portray it to be, I guess I kinda like it.
Did you buy into the Electropop hype?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.
This is Aquadelic in three coats. Its kind of thick so a few drops of polish thinner should fix that.

More Icing And Some ElectroPop!
Wednesday, January 11, 2012nail a college drop out
As usual I hit up my local Icing to see if they had any polishes I didn't already own. Alas they did and they restocked two of my favorite neons
Also I've kinda been stalking Sally Beauty Supply so I could get my hands on Aquadelic from China Glaze's Electropop collection. Turns out they don't have it yet but Beauty Plus Salon does!!!
L-R My Date With a Royal, Lime Martini, Grande Margarita
L-R Aquadelic, After Party, Party Confetti
I believe Ice Cube said it best, "Today was a good day."

NOTD: Purple + Glitter!
Thursday, January 05, 2012nail a college drop out
After finally removing my New Year's Eve mani I decided to simply paint them. And here's the final product!
I started off with a base coat of Nail Life Nail Revitalizer and two coats of Sally Hansen X-treme Wear Lacey Lilac, one coat of Icing Glitterati, one coat of Color Club It's A Hit. I usually stick with China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat; so, I felt the need to try something else. I topped it all off with Orly Seal On Top Coat.
At first I wasn't too fond of this combo, but I got a lot compliments on this one at work today.
Are you as indecisive as I am when it comes to glitter?

I guess I can consider this a milestone (or an overly developed addiction). I prefer the former.
As usual I stopped into my local Icing and picked up a few beauties. I only got three because, well, I have every other polish they sell.
Written In the Stars- A translucent lavender base with two different sized hexagon shaped holographic glitters and medium toned blue star glitter suspended throughout.
Teal Me I'm Awesome- Another single colored hexagon shaped glitter similar to these, but instead of laying completely flat, the glitter in TMIA sort of "curls." I like the polish but Icing has yet to understand what the color teal actually looks like.
All Night Long- Blue micro glitter, navy hexagon glitter, and silver hexagon glitter densely packed in a clear base.
All three lacquers are shown in three coats.
Do you think 400 bottles is warrant to be nominated for TLC's My Collection Obsession?
