Purple and lime green and holo OH MY!

Today I wanted to experiment layering glittery top coats.  IMHO, Pure Ice brand has some fantastic top coats that can alter the color of the base polish and for CHEAP!!  This is only a fraction of the colors I tried today, but they are the final 4 that I quit with.
From left to right:
Pure Ice Heart Breaker - final top coat over everything because you can never have too much glitter!
Pure Ice Wild Thing - should be named Ogre Pee...needs 2 coats.
Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple - dries a little slow but it's a party in a bottle!
Kleancolor Fairy Lover - very dark with dark silver shimmer...1 coat opacity!
See?!  Party!!
The purple jelly has very little color, so all you really see is the firey glitter colors.  I put it over the pee green polish as well and you'd never know there is purple jelly on top.  Thank you to my sister from another mother for giving it to me!!  ;)
Oh yea, P.S....I've polished and re-polished so many times today I didn't bother to clean up the last time.  :)  Yes I'm that lazy.
And one more.  Because I can.  :)
Yesterday I tried painting a little skull on my thumbnail.  You can see her peeking up there.  That will be a separate post.

Milani Lavender Fizz (almost) one coat glitter

It seems I am incapable of just wearing one nail polish at a time.  I can not leave it alone!  I try.  I really do.  Good grief, with 5 kids (one being a baby) I really really need to perfect the speedy mani.  Oh well.
Lavender Fizz is the 3rd Milani one coat glitter I've bought.  One really thick coat could be enough with any of them, but I couldn't resist adding more color.  I sandwiched a Sally Girl in between to add some blue hues to the lavender.




It goes: Milani, Sally, Milani, clear coat x2.  The Milani is very rough alone.  Dries quickly though!

One more shot.  Can you see the blue bits?  My finger tips are like tiny shiny disco balls!  :)

Wet n Wild glitters

This past weekend I got to play in my sis-in-law's polish stash.  She recently bought some Wet n Wild glitter polishes at Walgreens, and they are so pretty!

Before I spam you with pics of my nubbies, here is a link to Scrangie's nail blog post about the same polishes.  It looks like she used JUST the glitters with top coats.  I have to muck with stuff...gotta try different color base coats and such.  :)

My left hand got the Wet n Wild Back Alley Deals.  It's dark purple with hot pink.  I used a dark purple fast dry base coat color on my pinkie and index fingers, and a magenta/hotter pink base on the bird and ring fingers.  Then Back Alley Deals followed by a thin coat of Essie's Set in Stones glitter.  I loooooove that Essie glitter b/c it's got such a cute mix of big and small glitter flecks.  Oh, and a clear coat on top.  The Wet n Wild glitters are very matte and gritty until the clear coat, then they POP!  It was a happy accident that my left hand now matches my phone case!  :)


My right hand got Wet n Wild Rockin' Rubies, over a hot pink base color.  Again with Essie's Set in Stones and a clear coat on top.  I wish I'd done both hands AND my toes like this.  It's so pretty! 

I need to add another layer of clear coat.  I love these so much I may keep this on for TWO days!  LOL!  Well, if they last.  My nubbies look like happy little parties!
