NOTD: Wet 'n Wild Rockin' Rubies - and I need help with topcoats!

| Labels: , , ,
,


When I saw the display of Wet 'n Wild's new Ice Baby collection, I knew I would need to get Rockin' Rubies for my holiday manicure.  This is a true red microglitter with larger hexagonal holographic silver glitter throughout.  It reminded me of some of the garland I have strung in my house right now (above).


Three coats and you get a nearly opaque coverage.  This would actually look quite nice over red, and wouldn't require as many coats.  This was hard to take a picture of too...I think the sparkles really made it difficult for the camera to focus.



So, I love this color, but I have one complaint with glitters.  After my topcoat completely dries, it looks all grainy again, which frustrates me!  What top coat do you use for that beautiful glossy finish (that lasts).  Right now I applied a thick coat of Seche Vite, but I'm wondering if I should try something different?  I would love your suggestions and favorites!

NOTD: Revlon Top Speed Nail Enamel "Glitz & Glam"

| Labels: , , , ,
,


From Revlon's Spice it Up Collection, I picked up the nail polish called Glitz and Glam.  This is a cranberry jelly base with silver glitter.  It reminds me of one of last year's holiday colors by China Glaze - Mrs. Clause - but I don't own it so I can't do a comparison. 

Although the color is a bit sheer, due to the jelly base, after three coats you do have a nice coverage.  The dry time was pretty quick, so I suppose it lives up to the name "Top Speed", but I prefer to use a quick drying top coat like Seche Vite as well.  

I've posted a couple of different angles/pictures below.  I just had one of my nails break, so I had to cut them back - they look so stumpy...sorry.   One picture is with a flash and the other in more natural lighting.  I will say, being that this is a glitter polish, it really does sparkle!  Look at that first picture - see what I mean?  You know how sometime glitters end up a bit more matte once dry?  Well this one is nice and shimmery, which is great for holiday parties or even just a pick me up.



I also picked up Mistletoe, which is a really vampy olive green - pictures coming soon once I wear it!

NOTD: Pumpkin Nailpolish - Pale Pink and Silver Sparkles

| Labels: ,
,


Another pumpkin for you today, but this one wasn't quite as seasonal.  This is a clear base with pale pink microglitter and very large, silver hexagonal glitter.  Similar in texture and makeup as the Pumpkin polish in a bronze/silver, the actual coverage was quite sheer compared to the bronze.  This is three  coats, and you can still see quite a bit of nail through.  With that said, the sheerness didn't really bother me.  Because the pink color was more of a neutral, my nails just looked sparkly.  It's kind of a safe-for-work glitter, in my opinion.  I received tons of compliments on it too, which is an added bonus!

Below are a few more shots from different angles.  I actually found this one on sale after Halloween at Meijer, and I think it cost $0.62 - talk about a find! 



Enjoy!

Halloween NOTD: OPI DS "Mystery" and a Pumpkin Black & Orange Confetti Glitter

| Labels: , , ,
,


Another Halloween mani with the pumpkin polishes.  This time I layered the Pumpkin polish with orange and black confetti glitter on top of OPI Designer Series "Mystery".  The OPI is the most unique color, and so hard to capture on film.  Unfortunately it's been rainy and gloomy out so I couldn't go outside and take a picture either.  The color is a deep purple/almost black with gold micro glitter. 


If I could do this again, I would use a lighter shade underneath because you lose the black confetti in the dark color of the base polish.  Instead, I might choose a similar base shade, but something more purple and less black.   Regardless, the OPI is gorgeous on its own.  Too bad the picture can't capture it.

What is your Halloween manicure going to be?

NOTD: Pumpkin Chunky Glitter (bronze and silver)

| Labels: ,
,

I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures of the pumpkin polishes I found a few weeks back.  Today is called Chunky Nail...actually I think all of them are called that!  This is a dark gray jelly base with tiny bronze microglitter and silver hexagonal chunky glitter.  As you layer it, the hex glitters look a bit more bronze, but they are truly silver.

(natural light)

(Flash)

This is two coats.  The polish covers like a dream - two coats was definitely enough, but you could apply a thin coat on top of a darker shade to add the chunky glitter effect.





What color did you pick up in the pumpkins?  Remember, snowmen are around the corner!!
