Color Club's Magic Attraction with added bling!

  It's almost Wednesday, or should I say it's barely Tuesday? I know the week just started, but I can't wait for Friday because that's when I will be getting my Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday! Yay! I don't know why I get so excited about getting one of my lemmings because when I FINALLY get it, I just store it and move on to my next lemming. Anyways! On to today's glitter-fabulous post!

 I have this mani in my Random Nail Art page, but it was a camera phone picture. Most of those pictures are really small and blurryish, so I decided to redo those mani's and replace the page with something that has better quality. Not sure what it will be yet.

Even though this is made up of dense holographic glitter, it still somehow manages to be quite sheer and would be better layered over another polish. I used FIVE thin coats because I wanted the "glitter" look without a background color. I topped it off with Diamond Dry top coat, then I just picked four rhinestones an placed them on the side of the nail just below the nail line.

Shade picture.

This picture is awesome. It really shows the way the glitter's holographicness shines.

I don't remember what happened, but it looks like I smudged the polish on my index finger. =/ 

 This is such a beautiful polish and I definitely need to buy a backup. I'm already halfway through the one I have!

A Glitter Party on Snow

  A lot of nail polish bloggers that I follow on Twitter, seem to have untried boxes of all the new polishes that they plan on swatching. At first, I didn't see a need for it, since one of the things that I love to do after buying polishes is getting to put them away. That just gives me an excuse to spend more time in my polish "room". Well, this week I decided to start an untried box because my husband is getting on to me about buying new nail polishes. He keeps telling me that I should use the ones I already have everytime I buy more. Men. They don't understand. So, in order to keep him happy I am going to start using all the NEW polishes I buy, I'm definitely not going to fish out all the untried ones that are already stored.

 For today's manicure, I used two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. So far, this is my favorite white nail polish yet, since I only had to apply two coats. Then, I applied one coat of Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty, which is the first picture, but then I felt like it needed more bling...


... so I added another glitter topcoat. I used one coat of Wet n' Wilds Kaleidoscope.

I liked it much better with this topcoat because Kaleidoscope has holographic glitter in it, and it looks so good in the sun.

Here's a closeup of all the glitter going on.

 Looking at the closeup makes me want Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday even more. I guess now I'll have an excuse to buy more polishes, since I used two out the eight I had in my untried box. I seriously want some of Cult Nails polishes too, but I have to find a way to convince my husband of letting me put an order on 70-80 dollars worth of nail polish. Like that will happen! I'll just have to resort to hiding money from him to feed my addiction. ^_^ Hope you enjoyed today's manicure!
