All That Glitters
Black Glitter
China Glaze
The Spotty Dottie Entourage
Tuesday, March 20, 2012nail a college drop out
With all the the elusiveness surrounding Connect the Dots (and every other Lynnderella polish for that matter). I've decided to take my search elsewhere. And that's how I found All That Glitters Etsy Shop!!
She has a lot of glitter polishes but these are exactly what I was after.
So, I decided to layer them over Entourage from the China Glaze Kicks Collection.
And this happened!
Although neither Spotty has square glitter in it I still love it.
Warning: China Glaze Entourage causes EXTREME staining, even if you double base coat.
Have you bought any polish on Etsy yet?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.
Not too long a go I did a post with double the half moon fun (click here to see it). So naturally, I decided to try it again with a different color combination.
This time I used OPI San Tan-Tonio & Suzi Loves Cowboys from the OPI Texas Collection.
I showed one of my friends this mani the day I did it and her exact response was, "Oooh chocolate!"

After seeing other peoples' Ruffian manicures I decided to try it out for myself. I wasn't too crazy with the outcome but I did get a lot of compliments from it.
For this mani I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Sally Hansen X-treme Wear Celeb City, and my own franken Barbie Party.
You wanna be a Ruff Ryder?

Back in January I ordered some Nubar polish. And I'm just now getting around to swatching them (shame on me, I know). So without further ado here are the Nubar Polka Dots swatched on a nail wheel.
Two coats of Black Polka Dot over Sinful Colors Snow Me White
Three coats of White Polka Dots over Wet' n' Wild Black Creme
Have you jumped on the Polka Dot bandwagon?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.
I've done my fair share of half moon manicures so I figured why not try something a little different.
For this mani I used reinforcement labels, Wet' n Wild Black, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White.
DO try this at home!

Gifts From My Boyfriend!!
Monday, March 05, 2012nail a college drop out
I had mentioned in a previous post that my boyfriend gave me $100 to spend on nail polish (if his status as the one wasn't already solidified, it is now). Here's the rest of what I got!
And now everything I ordered from Victoria Nail Supply!
Icing Lemon Cello On The Rocks & Icing Tiger's Blood (remake)
Lemon Cello On The Rocks - a bright yellow polish with subtle iridescent shimmer.
Tiger's Blood - if you'll notice this one does not look like the original; that one was a dead on dupe for Cult Nails Captivated. Welp, Icing is remixing some of their polish formulas. Why? I have no idea.
These next guys I got from Beauty Plus Salon.
Orly Lucky Duck & Essie Incognito
Orly Lucky Duck is from the Birds of a Feather Collection and Essie Going Incognito

I've been wanting this one for a while now; and foolishly came to aforementioned decision after it was no longer available in stores. So, what does a gal in my predicament do? Pony up and buy it on Amazon of course!
Another bottle straight off of my wish list.

You guessed it. Yet another post about all of the goodness that is Icing nail polish!
L-R Lemme See Your Peacock, Radio Super Star, Sunlit
I bought Lemme See Your Peacock solely based on the name, but honestly it is nothing more than a medium shaped hexagon glitter combination of Disco Ball, Wear While, and The Party Has Arrived. So, if you already have those three you could very well pass on this guy.
The real star of this post in my eyes is Radio Super Star. In some lighting the stars give a holographic effect!
Sunlit is a bunch of silver slivers of holographic bar glitter suspended in a translucent gold base.
L-R Gold Dust (version 2), Diamond Shield Top Coat, Too Hot Too Handle
Gold Dust is tiny tiny bits of gold and copper glitter.
Diamond Shield Top Coat should not be used on top of nail art (causes a lot of dragging) but it is perfect for glitters.
Too Hot Too Handle is more pink (and less red) and a tad less neon than pictured, but nonetheless a nice neon pink polish.
Which one is your fav in the bunch?
