Simple Swatch: Gloss n' Sparkle

I have so many untried polishes because I have a hoarding problem. I especially have a lot of untried indies, and every time I wear one, it pretty much becomes my new favorite, this one is no exception:

Gloss n' Sparkle- Land of Sunshine

I thought this was a white crelly base, but as I was taking photos, I realized it is leaning more towards a creamy white base. I love the contrast between the cream color and the neon glitters in it! There are all different sizes of hexagonal and SQUARE glitters, ranging from a pink, blue, purple, orange, and green, pretty much every color of the rainbow, but neon!

I used two coats in these photos. Glitter pay off was amazing, and not hard to get out of the bottle and onto the nail.

This shade is currently in stock on Llarowe, so go get it!

Simples Swatch(s)- Gloss n Sparkle

I finally got these two polishes in a nail swap from Nails At 2 am, who has easy access to all the Aussie indie brands! We planned this in like February? And we finally sent them out a few weeks ago! Although I am not sure is she received mine yet...Well, here are the two Gloss n Sparkles I chose:

I chose to wear these together since they have pretty much the same consistency and finish, and the purple and teal glitters in the orange definitely compliment the teal polish!

The teal polish is Gloss n Sparkle- Retrovertigo, and the orange is Gloss n Sparkle- Sweet Charity. Both have the same consistency of W7- Salt n Pepper. It is a creme base that is very saturated in color, you could almost get away with one thick coat if you tired. And in the creme base are medium hexagonal glitters, both polishes have two different colors. Retrovertigo has blue and purple, and Sweet Charity has teal and purple.

For my fellow Americans, you can get these on Llarowe, and both are in stock! For every one else, you can get them on Gloss n Sparkle's Etsy, shoppe-eclecticco, and femmefatalecosmetics

Another Simple Swatch + Water Marble Using My Last Unused Gloss 'n Sparkle

Hold on to your seats and prepare for rainbow over load. I probably should have saved these to wear for SF Pride!

Gloss 'n Sparkle- Unicorn Droppings

I mainly wanted this polish for the name... But it is seriously amazing. Anything rainbow is an A in my book.

Unicorn droppings is a white creme base with a lot of tiny sparkles, but of course the sparkles aren't noticeable in the pictures! It has large glitters in pretty much every color of the rainbow. It is jam packed of glitter too, no problem with getting it on the brush. But I did kind of have to move the glitters around evenly on my nail. The less brush strokes you use, the better!

On to the marble. This is probably the most proud I have been over a water marble I have done. I used 6 colors which is insane, and I managed to get pretty much all of the colors on my nail, aside from the very tiny bit of green on my tip! But hey, that is still six colors which is really hard!

The colors I used are: China Glaze- Adventure Red-y (On Safari Collection Fall 2012), OPI- On The Same Paige (Summer Brights Collection 2009), OPI- Need Sunglasses?, OPI- Green-wich Village (Mod About Brights Collection 2008), Color Club- Endless Summer (Fiesta Collection Summer 2013), and Anise- Violet Falls In Love. I had no problem with any of these polishes!

Simple Swatch + Water Marble

I am still trying to get back into mastering water marbling, and I decided the best way to do that is to just do an accent nail. I don't have the patience or skills to do all 10 fingers yet. I am trying to use as many untried indie polishes as possible, so I am choosing colors to marble with that are pretty much the same as the indie polish. I really like how they are turning out, especially this one!

Gloss 'n Sparkle- Fruit Tingle

This polish is pretty much flawless. It is opaque in two coats, packed full of micro silver glitters, medium pink glitters, large black and blue glitters, and even larger black glitters! It is so opaque it kind of covered the glitters from the first layer.

The colors I used for the marble are Anise- Island Lover (blue), Wet n Wild Megalast- On a Trip (purple), and Wet n Wild- Black Creme. I have used on a trip for marbling before, and it worked pretty well. All these colors did really. Much better than the china glaze one I did a few days ago. I think I should stalk the next time cvs or rite aid has a sale on Wet n Wild so I can buy alll the Megalasts!

Note: I also started using bottled water. My refrigirator claims to have "filtered" water, but the polish would never spread through out the entire cup. I don't have a brita or anything, but so far bottled water is pretty sweet!

Simple Swatch: Gloss 'N Sparkle

I have been eying this brand for a while, but was always too late to get my hands on some whenever Llarowe restocked. Finally, I was actually looking at the lemmings of mine, and it didn't say they were out of stock! So, I grabbed three, and here is the first of them:

 

Natural Light

 Artificial Light

Gloss 'N Sparkle- Pink Cigarette

The picture Llarowe uses looks much more purple. It is definitely one of those pinky purpley shades, with a lot of blue undertones. I want a solid creme of just the milky base!

The glitters in it are black and white medium sized hexagonals. It gives it the feel of all the "Sprinkle" type polishes that are out. Examples: Illimasqua's Speckle polishes, Deborah Lippmann's Spring 2013 selections, and Nails Inc Sprinkles. Hard Candy has a few to choose from now, too.

But Pink Cigarette has a nice twist with the large red hexagonal glitters in it. I thought I wouldn't like it since I'm not really a fan of red, but I absolutely adore it! I used two coats. It is very easy to apply, but you will have to play around with the glitter a tiny bit.

For all you US folks, you can purchase Gloss 'N Sparkle on Llarowe. For every one else around the world, you can get them at Shop-Eclecticco, Femme Fatale Cosmetics, and Gloss 'N Sparkles' Etsy. They range from $10-$14.
