New Year's Nails

Hello everyone!  Today for your viewing pleasure I have my New Year's nails.  Now since I suck at nail art and didn't have a ton of time I went pretty simple.  Almost too simple because the glitter curves were not visible in a lot of settings.  I used Essie Mesmerize as my base color.  Two nice even coats and it was perfect.  I think this polish just needed to age a bit because the first time I ever wore it the application was super streaky and uneven.  This time it was fabulous.  Then once that was dry I used french tip guides turned sideways to add some glitter sparkle in the form of Elevation Pitaraq.  I did two quick coats of Pitaraq and then topcoated it all.

I hope you all had a great New Year's!

PS:  No sun picture today because this mani sucked in the direct sunlight.

Formula X for Sephora Turbulent

Sun

Hello!  A while back I picked up a few of the new Formula X for Sephora polishes.  So far the ones I've tried have been really, really nice.  Today I have Turbulent to show you.  This is a very indie-ish glitter topcoat made up of different sizes of back and turquoise glitters.  I layered it over China Glaze Naked but I think it needs a brighter pink or a purple would be nice too.  In real life my nails just kinda looked dirty.  The quality of this polish though is outstanding.  This is one single coat.  No fishing, no placing, no dabbing for glitter.  Everything is laying down nice and smooth.

Shade

Have you tried any of these polishes yet?  I definitely plan on getting more.  There are so many choices of color and finish.

Have a great day!

Different Dimension Black Dahlia

Hey all!  It's been a while huh?  Today's gorgeous polish is Different Dimension Black Dahlia.  This polish is so outstanding.  Two coats made this perfect.  Gray holoish goodness with pretty glitter thrown in.  I bet you could layer this over black and it would look awesome.  The first two pictures were taken in the sun and the last one is a shade picture to try and show you some of the glitter.

I hope you all had a great holiday yesterday.  I'm hoping to blog more regularly in the future now that birthday/holiday season is over.

Until next time...

Different Dimension Mistle-Toad

Hey everyone!  Happy Thursday.  Today I have a quickie post featuring the drool worthy Different Dimension Mistle-Toad, a green holo with pink shimmer.  Hot damn this is an amazing polish!  It applied like a dream.  Two coats and it was perfect.

I know this is a lot of pictures but really this polish rocks and I couldn't narrow it down.  I'd love to see this polish without the holo (don't throw things at me) because the pink shimmer is gorgeous.  Have a great day everyone!
