Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday over Wet n' Wild Silvivor

 Ever since I had to nubbinize my nails I have been on a glitter bomb streak. It makes me feel better and it's not as difficult to remove on short nails, at least for me. For this mani I decided to take out one of my long time lemmings, Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday. I wanted this polish for such a long time, but was disappointed when I finally received it that I never wore it until recently. The original formula of Happy Birthday also had square glitter in the mix and this particular version has NO square glitter. That really irked me because I feel that was the one thing that separated this Happy Birthday from all the other dupes floating around, but I have made peace with my version and have given up on the square glitter version.

 I did two coats of Wet n' Wild Silvivor with two coats of Happy Birthday on top of that.



Reminds me of Blue Bell's Birthday Cake!

 I really need to get through my untrieds, this is only the third Deborah Lippmann that I have tried out of the ten I have. I used to say that I would get on a no buy and place myself on a budget, but it is so hard that I give up on doing that. I always end up doing huge hauls when I do that, so I figure I'm saving money if I don't restrict myself. Ha, that's my kind of rationale. ^_^

Lynnderella Cauldron Drippings over OPI Chop-Sticking to my Story

 I'm a little late with today's post and I apologize for that. I had a bit of a long day, yet I didn't have a lot of things to do. =/ I know. It was just a hectic day for me and it's still going! I still have to get my son's things ready for school tomorrow and he has homework to do. So, this will be a short post but with many pictures! Woot!

This is two coats Chop-Sticking to my Story by OPI with no topcoat. 

One coat of Lynderella Cauldron Drippings over Chop-Sticking to my Story in the sun.

Closeup in the sun. This is like an orange version of The Glittering Crowd, and somehow it still manages to be unique.

This is in the shade.

 This is my second time wearing this combination and people seem to love it! I had plenty of compliments both times I wore it. Lynnderella just updated her blog shop stating she will be coming out with a new collection called Funny Money, but she will also be taking orders for all her previous collections. That's great news to me because I NEED another bottle of Connect the Dots, since it is my favorite polish of all time and I am so scared of running out. I have two bottles and 1/4 of another left, since I gave some of it away. Oh and I swapped one... that was a swap full of regret. Anywho, I'm glad I will be able to pick up another bottle or two. ^_^

Zom-Body to Love w/ Black Shatter

 Halloween is just a few days away and that means that Halloween related manicures are coming to an end as well, on my blog at least. I planned on getting more posts in for this weekend, but I decided to just trim down my nails instead of repairing them again. I thought the breaks had grown out far enough, but it turns out they didn't and my two middle fingers aren't even now. So, instead I am settling on one last mani for Monday.

 Zom-body to Love is a bright green, glow in the dark polish that OPI came out with for Halloween this year. They released it in a duo with Black Shatter and as well sold it separately. The polish is so sheer that you will not be able to achieve full coverage without layering at least five to six coats. I wanted to get the same color in the bottle, so I decided to layer it over two coats of Sally Hansen White Out. BIG MISTAKE. This polish is also streaky! I did three layers of Zom-body to Love and stopped because I didn't want to have so many layers. I would recommend that you layer this over a green, that way the streaks won't show. Even with the streaks I wanted to wear this polish alone for at least one day because the color itself had me so entranced. It reminded me a lot of Nickolodeon's goo that they always had in one show or other when I was little.

I apologize for the tip wear in this picture. I didn't take pictures right away and the tip wear happened when I was heating up some tortillas. Little tip: Don't heat up tortillas with a fresh mani.

I was barely able to capture this polish in the dark with my camera, but in real life it GLOWS!

How cool does it look with Black Shatter? I swear Black Shatter is THE BEST thing to wear for Halloween. 

 It's a little sad that October is ending, but it's ok because I can't wait to be able to start listening to Christmas music without getting weird looks from my husband. ^_^
