Nail Art Using MORE Glam Polish!

I wasn't kidding when I said I have been on a big Glam Polish kick. I don't know how to describe these, but I basically used the technique I would do with half moons, except I used a single chevron nail vinyl.

Unfortunately, it is not as noticeable on my middle fingers....

I applied two coats of the holographic polishes first. The green is Glam Polish- ZAP! (Knockout Collection 2015), and the gold is Mod Lacquer- UFO Cover-Up (Above Top Secret Collection 2014).

I applied a fast drying top coat, placed the chevron stickers, and applied a thick coat of the polish on top. The green is Glam Polish- Somewhere that's Green (Broadway Collection 2014). I freakin love this polish!!! It is so gorgeous, another one of those polishes I could not stop staring at. It is another one of those polishes that has a colored base with loads of holographic shimmer and glitters in it. You need all those polishes in your life! The gold is Glam Polish- You and Me (But Mostly Me) (Broadway Collection 2014). This is another one of those awesome polishes too, but I feel like the colored base is more intense in this one than the holographic shimmers. I mainly got this polish because I need more golds in my collection,

Simple Swatch: More Glam Polish

Here are some simple swatches of two more of Glam Polish's Knockout collection.

Gorgeous as always.

The blue is CRASH!. It is an interesting shade, it is almost a mix of a true blue with a little bit of periwinkle. It is like the other glitters from this collection, holographic glitter with holographic shimmer in it, making for a gorgoues finish polish. My only complaint about this polish is it stains like no other! So double up those base coats

The purple is KA-BOOM!. It is just your standard purple linear holographic. Formula was lovely of course.

I used two coats for both polishes.

Glam Polish Halfmoons

Glam Polish is one of those indies that came about like 2 years ago and just blew everyone's minds. They still continue to do that with these amazing collections they release like every month, easily making them one of my top favorite indies. When I wore these two polishes together, I literally could NOT stop staring at my nails. Glam Polish, keep em coming!

See what I mean?

I am not the biggest pink fan, but I can be a sucker for a gorgeous baby pink. Add some holographic shimmer and glitter into it and I am sold! These are both from the Knockout collection, which I couldn't help but buy the entire collection.

I started off with two coats of POW! which is the baby pink. Formula was a dream to work with of course. I applied a fast drying top coat before adding my half moon stickers, then applied a thickish coat of BANG!. I think these two polishes compliment each other very well and can not wait to wear them again, if that ever happens....

My ring finger is KB Shimmer- Turnip the Beat which is a textured polish. I applied a top coat to it which I think is the first time I have ever done that with a textured polish. I know the textured craze is kind of over, but I still love them as an accent nail!

Here is a blurry shot to really show the sparkle and shine!

Happy New Years!

These aren't anything really that special or "New Years" themed. I just wanted something bright, glittery and fun on my nails, plus all but one of these are polishes I got for Christmas.

The glitter on my ring finger is the one that was purchased by myself, and it is KB Shimmer- Hexy Bikini (6th Anniversary Collection). This a textured polish, and it is amazing of course since it is KB Shimmer. It is primarily silver holographic glitters, but has a lot of blues, pinks, and purples as well which is why I paired it with these other polishes.

The cremes are all Barry M. My fiance's sister goes to school in London, and was previously living in Northern Ireland the last like 5 years, so she got me one of these for Christmas like 2 years ago, and 2 of them for Christmas this year. The one on my index finger is Mint Green, which is part of their regular nail paint line, and was two easy coats. The bright blue on my index finger is Guava (Gelly Hi-Shine Collection). I have wanted to try these for so long, and now I know why all the UK girls rage over these! This one was nearly a one coater, but I used two coats here. Formula was perfect, and it dried super shiny! Now we will have to see if it stains. The purple on my pinky is Prickly Pear (Gelly Hi-Shine Collection). This one was a little thinner, but covered the nail in two easy coats. It also dried super shiney. I am definitely going to have to send some money over with her to get some more!

I painted the glitters over the chevron Nail Vinyls after applying a fast drying top coat. All these glitters were gifted to me by my Keithland. I never ask for polishes as gifts, but this year I gave him a list and links, and he got me a bunch of indies! These three are all from Glam Polish's Mid-Winter's Dream Collection for Winter. I loved every polish from this collection, but figured I would put these 3 to better use. The names form index to pinky are:

Polar Lights
Below Zero 
Whirlwind

I used a thickish coat to get these opaque, but I am sure if you wore these on their own they could cover in 2 coats.

Hope you enjoyed these and had a fun and safe New Year's celebration!

Halloween Themed Drip Manicure

I have only done a few Halloween themed nails this year, and they are all purple and green themed for some reason. These are pretty simple, just an indie polish, topped with drip tips:

I loooove this polish!

The polish on bottom is Glam Polish- Frankenslime 2014. It is a re-release from last year, but I believe it is a different formulation and slightly different in colors. I am not too sure, around this time last year Glam Polishes were fairly hard to get for us American's. This is a slightly holo green base, with tiny matte green and purple glitters sprinkled in. I love it!

Then I just did the drips using a dotting tool, and the color is OPI- Do You Have This Color in Stockholm? (OPI Nordic Collection Fall 2014). It looks a little darker in these pictures than it does in person, but all in all fairly easy to work with.

Simple Swatch: Glam Polish

Here is a simple swatch of a Glam Polish I got a while ago. This brand exploded last year and are still going strong, and luckily they ship to the US! Although I feel like I can't keep up with the collections they release. They release a new collection like every two months!

Glam Polish- Juggling Jupiter

Sorry for the weird parks on my nails. I painted these at night and went to work the next morning before taking pictures. It looks like some animal hair imprinted on my nails!

I used one generous coat over two coats of Orly- Lollipop. It didn't require any fishing and was really easy to work with!

Unfortunately it looks like this isn't available anymore, but you can get their polish on their Website

 

Rainbow Skittles Using Only Indies

I just got two of these polishes recently and knew I was going to pair them together, but then I had a revelation and realized I haven't done a rainbow manicure using just indies. All of these paired quite nicely together:

Starting from the thumb to the pinky: Pop Culture Cosmetics- Mrs. Claus Hearts Pink (Holiday Collection 2013), Glam Polish- BA-NA-NA! (Mayhem and Madness Collection 2013), Jindie Nails- Don't Get It Citrus Twisted (Summer Chic Collection 2013), Pop Culture Cosmetics- Jellybean, and Glam Polish- Planet Purple (Intergalactic Collection 2013).

All polishes were two coats. I chose these because they all have circle glitters, but I could not get any circles on my thumb or pinky! Either way I love how they look together. I will never get sick of these glitters in a crelly base!
