Neon Blue and Glitter

Polishes used:

Berry Blue- Love & Beauty

Twinkle Twinkle- Love & Beauty

So I decided I need a crazy blue after seeing my friend Robyn wearing one yesterday. I searched around until I saw one that pretty much resembled it, only when I got home and tried it on, the consistency was just blech.

 I also found Twinkle Twinkle, an amazing silver glitter, that I find is a good dupe for OPI's Crown Me Already.

Aaaaand here is myself and Robyn acting like the mature adults we are....

 In continuing with my new found love of blue polish, I decided to go for a really light blue. I have to say I adore this colour and didn't want to take it off!!

Beautiful but Dangerous - Wet n' Wild

Polishes used:

Planks A Lot- OPI

Beautiful But Dangerous- Wet n' Wild (2 coats)

I came across this chunky glitter colletion from Wet n' Wild the other day, it's called Sparks and Stripes. It was a limited edition collection and from what I've read is now pretty hard to find. This one has pink, blue, gold and black octagons and squares.

 I may or may not have scooped up an extra few bottles for a 100 follower giveaway....only a few more to go! I can't wait to show you more cool limited addition polishes that will be up for grabs.

Starry Night- A Glitter Combo

 

Polishes used:

 Haunting- China Glaze

Unique- Love & Beauty

In the Spotlight- Sally Hansen

*Matte About You- Essie (photo's below)

Here is a cool black and silver sparkle colour combo. I really like glitter polishes with different size sparkles so I decided to do a layered mix with what I had.

A close up where you can really see the three glitter sized and shapes.

 

And I've been seeing a lot of matted glitter manicures so I tried that on for size next!

Fishy Manicure!

Polishes used:

Smooth Sailing- Essie

Wake Up!- Essence

White- Konad

Black- Konad

I am in love with this manicure, it turned out perfectly. I have been inspired from a fish manicure on Pinterest and decided to paint on my fishy as small as I could. I did him on the pinky to make it look like he was swimming in a big blue ocean. : )

I used highly pigmented polishes and a tooth pick to create this design.

Royal Rajah Ruby- A real "vampy" red

 

Polishes used:

Royal Rajah Ruby- OPI

Picked up this amazing colour this week and I couldn't wait to have it on. As soon as it was on the colour screamed "vampire" and that is the comment I have been getting from people the last few days. I find this incredibly ironic since I am literally going to be inundated with vampires at my job over the next couple of months! ; )
