31 Day Challenge Day 17: Glitter

Morning dolls!

I was a little stumped on todays theme. I mean glitter should be easy enough to do right? But then I couldn'd decide what kind of glitter, or what colour. Loose glitter or a glitter polish? So eventually I just decided to use a bunch of different glitters and threw together this manicure!

Not sure how much I like this, or if I even like it really at all, but it is glittery! I used Sephora by OPI Never Enough Shoes as my base on all nails but my ring finger. Then I added L.A. Girl Syngery on my index nail. My middle nail I added a coat of Icing Golden Age of Glitter and then sponged on Orly Luxe and Sally Hansen White On and finally added Alter Ego Gold Panner at the tip. My ring finger I used a base of Luxe and then added loose glitter from Dollar Tree in bronze, silver and gold. My pinky I sponged on a little Luxe and then added Color Club Gingerbread on the tip. On my thumb I just added Gingerbread concentrated more at the tip. Phew! That was a lot!

I'm feeling a little blah about these nails, but I guess you can't win them all? What do you guys think of this crazy mess of glitter nails?

Well, I don't have much more to say on these ones! They feel a little blah to me, so I guess that's all! My ring nail sure was sparkly! I think I liked that nail best :)

I'm suuuuppeerrr stoked about the half moon nails tomorrow though! So I'll see you all back here then!

Gold Coral Layering Experiment

Today I have a bit of an experiment to show you. I just started layering polish and glitter and then more polish and glitter and then threw in a flakie for good measure. 

Pretty right? It ended up being subtle yet had a really pretty sparkle and shine quality that gets me every time. I used 2 coats of Barielle's Gotta Have Fate for the base then added a coat of LA Girl's Synergy. Then I layered Wet n Wild's Blaze over top of the glitter. Added another coat of Synergy and then added one coat of Essie's Luxeffects As Gold As it Gets. 

I took a photo of just Gotta Have Fate and Synergy, 

I love trying to layer different polishes! What do you think of this combination?

Until next time,

mermaid green glitter gradient

hellloooo lovelies! 


I did another glitter gradient recently using some of the nail polish that my mom got me when she was in the states. Here's the final product!

It really reminded me of a mermaid, or under the sea. It was so shimmery and beautiful that I kept looking at it all day! The first day I wore this I actually wore a sweater that is the same colour as the base coat with some gems and embroidery across the top. I was so matchy it was awesome haha. The polishes I used for this were Orly's Bailamos, Finger Paint's Art You Wondering and LA Girl's Nostalgic in that order. 

Macro shot, look at all that glitter!

After a day of wear I had some tip wear so I decided to put a matte top coat over top to see how it looked!

I liked the matte glitter, because well I love all matte glitters, but I think that since all the polish I used was so close in colour it didn't allow the little pieces to shine through and show of the glitters itself. But I still loved it. It's a blueish colour and well I simply just love blues! 

Until next time,

NEW POLISH HAUL!

I have to start off this post by saying my mom is AWESOME. She is completely embracing my obsession and even helping my grow my collection.
This past weekend she was down in the States and while she was there picked me up SEVEN new polishes! Just cause. Needless to say last night when she came home I was drooling just staring at all my gorgeous new polish. 
Here is everything that I got!

Synergy, Eutopia, Nostalgic, Celebrate

FULL SIZED STRAWS!

So for those of you that are incredibly confused by the 100 full sized straws, here's a quick run down. When I did my splatter mani last week I only had a teeny tiny straw and ended up with polish all over my lips and teeth because it was only about 2 inches long so the polish was getting everywhereeeeeee. So my loving mother decided to pick me up 100 full sized straws so that won't happen again! So thoughtful haha


I can't wait to swatch all of these for you! Look for them this upcoming week! 


Until next time,
Sincerely Stephanie
