Glitter Bomb: Orly Rococo A Go-Go, Color Club Very Merry Berry

I was craving a glitter bomb after my last glitter-tastic manicure (I wore China Glaze's Loreli's Tiara) so I went for one of the Color Club holiday Glitters.

The tone of this combo was really difficult to capture without good sunlight. New York in March is pretty hit or miss for sun.

These warmer toned pictures make my hands look like I should be making chocolate in a factory somewhere, but the color of the polish is waaaay more accurate. On my middle finger I have one coat of OPI Serving Up Sparkle as my accent nail. I initially wanted to have it over all my nails, but I didn't want to hate it so I did it as a subtle bling accent.

Overall I was pretty pleased with this combo, I wish I had chosen a more contrasting base color, but Rococo A Go-Go is gorgeous by itself.

Thanks for reading, and have a fabulous day!

Nail Polish Haul (and a little extra)

A while ago I hauled some polishes and two eye shadow sticks. I'll do mini reviews of each of these. Some of these products I have or will be doing full reviews of.

Finger Paints Winter Wishes and Holly Good Time. Ok, is it just me, or do these colors absolutely scream fall? These are from the new Finger Paints Winter Dreams collection. Don't get me wrong though, these are fantastic colors, they just don't seem wintry to me. I have used both of these colors already and I love them. Winter Wishes is incredibly thick and bumpy when dry. Blah. It's still very pretty, though. Holly Good Time is on my toes right now. I didn't use a base underneath it, so I layered it enough to be opaque. I'd photograph it, but I doubt you all want to look at my toes! Overall, great shades, they're the only colors that grabbed me from this collection.

Orly Out of This World, Halley's Comet, and Glitz & Glamour. The first two are from the Cosmic FX Collection. I have not used Out of This World yet, but I have used Halley's Comet, I reviewed it here. Glitz & Glamour is from 'Tis The Season Holiday Lacquer Collection, and I will have a review of this color up in a couple of days, but I can say one thing, I think I have a new favorite nail polish! I'll be purchasing two more colors from this collection later on.

China Glaze Party Hearty. I'll be honest, China Glaze  is most definitely my favorite nail polish brand, but the last few collections have been pretty ho-hum for me. Especially the holiday collection, 'Tis The Season - to be naughty and nice (I know, clever isn't it?). At any rate, for the time being, this was the only color I wanted. And you can see why. I love glitter. I haven't used this yet, but I certainly will be doing a fabulous Christmas manicure with this.

Last, but certainly not least are the Palladio Shadow & Liner Herbal Crayons. The colors that I chose are Icicle and Raspberry. I have used these a couple of times. And they're alright. I'm planning a full review of these in the next few days.

Look out for my upcoming reviews, and until next time, have a good one



Orly: Halley's Comet

First I want to say that this nail polish was ridiculous to photograph. To me, this is much more teal in person than my camera will pick up on.

Alrighty, this polish is from the Orly Cosmic FX Collection. I know I'm a little late on this, but for the purposes of this review it's not about being on time, it about the fabulousness of this color.

This color is a turquoise with greenish yellow reflects.

These photos are of one coat of Nail Magic's Botanical Nail Strengthener, two coats of Halley's Comet, and two coats of Nail Magic's Fast Dry Top Coat.

Application was better on this polish than Space Cadet, from the same collection. Much more pigmented, and much smoother.

Lovely yellow reflects.

The brush is small (Same as Space Cadet), and quite honestly it annoys me, but I'll get over it because these polishes are so lovely.


































The following images are under different camera settings and some are enhanced to show a more true to life color.

I enhanced this picture slightly to make the polish lean more turquoise as it does in person.

These two pictures were taken under different camera settings than usual to show the glitter effects and the reflects.









I love this color, it's gorgeous. These are no longer available at Sally Beauty, but I'm sure there are some larger retail stores or salons that may have them. http://www.transdesign.com/ still has these in stock, but they come with a hefty price tag at 10 dollars a piece. Definitely an indulgence, but it's definitely worth it!
