Christmas Skittle

Here is a simple Christmas skittle:

Sorry for only one picture. There wasn't much sunlight!

I started out with two coats of China Glaze- Running in Circles (Cirque Du Soleil Collection 2012) on my index and middle finger. I top coated that, applied some Straight Nail Vinyls in various widths apart, and applied a thick coat of Zoya- Nidhi. Nidhi is a much brighter red, but layering it over the green definitely dulls it down quite a bit.

I applied two coats of OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls (Spiderman Collection 2012) onto my middle finger, then applied one coat of KB Shimmer- Kringle All the Way on top. An awesome Christmas shade! It is just silver, green, and red circle glitters in all different sizes, and there is a light sprinkle of holographic micro shimmers in there. 

For my pinky, I applied two coats of Emily de Molly- Seeing Red, and was just going to leave that as is, but I thought it looked like I didn't finish it. So I applied a top coat, applied more nail vinyls, and used Colors By Llarowe- Gemini Rising (Summer 2014 Collection), which is the perfect Christmas green shade in my opinion!

Simple Swatch: Colors By Llarowe

I just couldn't come up with any good ideas for nail art the other day, and I sometimes get overwhelmed with the amount of polish I have. So, I just picked a holo I haven't worn yet:

The perfect green holo for the holidays!

This polish is Colors By Llarowe- Gemini Rising (Summer Collection 2014). This was nearly a one coater, but I did two coats. The formula was flawless, not runny, but not thick, just perrrrfect. And the holo is super strong like all Color By Llarowe holos! Gemini Rising is actually in stock on Llarowe's Website, so go get it!

Lastly, the texture I paired it with is KB Shimmer- Partner's in Lime (Early Summer Collection 2014). Amazing formula as well. One coat is almost full coverage, so you definitely need a second coat.

Holo Skittle + Gradient

I am seriously just trying to wear as many of my holos as possible right now! It is nice and sunny everyday, I have accumulated a lot, so might as well wear them!

 

I tried for somewhat of a rainbow effect...

The glitter I used is one I randomly picked up at Walmart, I don't go there very often so I talked myself into getting it. It is Salon Perfect- Splat! Very appropriate name. It is your standard black and white matte glitter mix, except this one has a lot of long bar glitters and very large hexagonal glitters. Very easy to to work with too!

Here are the holos I used going from index finger to pinky:
Different Dimension- Coral Rose
Colors By Llarowe- Woodstock
Colors By Llarowe- Young Grasshoppa
Different Dimension-  Orchid You Not (Spring Collection 2014)

All were two coats, and very easy to work with. My only negative comment would be that Woodstock kind of stains :(, and both of the Colors By Llarowe polishes are no longer available, but the Different Dimensions are!

Some More Textured Half moons

I hope you aren't getting tired of my textured half moons... I simply have no time for nail art, especially this quarter with school, it is kicking my but! Anyways, here it is:

The gorgeous textured polish is Loreal- Sexy in Sequins (Gold Dust Collection). I believe these are part of their permanent nail polish line, for now at least. It is a dark purple base with tones of gold, purple, and silver shimmers. It also has some fairly chunky purple glitters in it too. It has a super thick formula, but it wasn't hard to work with, perfect for half moons! Dry time was quick unlike the OPI liquid sands, and it is easy to remove just like all other textured polishes, no foil required!

The purple holo on my index and pinky is Different Dimension- Dueling Unicorns (Fall 2013 Collection). I really didn't need this polish, I have a purple holo a lot like it, but that name!! Formula was amazing, 2 easy coats.

Lastly, the magenta holo on my middle and ring finger is Colors by Llarowe- Addicts Attack (LE April Charity Polish). This holo is GORGEOUS. I don't have anything like it, and the formula is flawless. I am happy Colors by Llarowe is getting a little easier to get your hands on, I was missing out! I have accumulated a lot recently, and I love every single one of them!

Barney Nails

I have always loved green and purple together, especially if they are holos! A girl at work said I was wearing Barney colors, so I decided to just stick with calling them that! Here it is:

I believe the holos are both from Colors By Llarowe's Spring collection for this year, I could be wrong though.

The green is Colors By Llarowe- Mojito, and the purple is Colors By Llarowe- Flip Flops & Tank Tops. Both were two flawless coats, they seriously went on like butter! I unfortunately couldn't get the holo to show up as strong as some other swatch photos show them :( They are still amazing regardless.

The green textured polish is Kiko- Spring Green. Probably my favorite textured polish of all time, it is just the perfect shade of spring green, super sparkly, and almost a one coater!!

Here is a photo of them at a different angle showing a little more intense of a holo effect:

Green Holographic Ombre

The last holographic ombre I did was using the not so holographic China Glaze holos released last year. I got some green holos in the mail recently and decided to do a green one. One of these isn't as holo as the others which kind of sucks. Another reason to put all my holos in one drawer because I totally have other greens of the shade that isn't as intense, that ARE intense like the others shown here:

Either way it still looks awesome!

Can we just take a second and die over that Jennifer Green Enchanted holo on my ring finger! Not only is it my first Enchanted that I finally managed to snag, BUT it is the most amazing Jennifer Green ever, probably my new favorite!!!

The colors from my index-pinky:

Colors by Llaroew- Gizzards & Lizards an amazing deep forest green
Nubar- Reclaim This is the not so holo one I was talking about. It is definitely holo, it just looks wimpy compared to the others!
Enchanted Polish- March 2014 AMAZING!!!
Color Club- Kismet 

All were two easy coats. Gizzards & Lizards, and Reclaim are nearly one coaters though.

Lastly, the color used for the french tips is Color Club- Beyond
