cause baby you're a firework

I think i'm in a glitter rut lately, all of a sudden it 's all i'm doing!


Color Institute "Irresistable" 5 coats
Now, it was opaque after about 3 coats but I couldn't resist this and kept adding coats upon coats.
It's sparkly and pretty and reflects whatever it is facing! I was wearing a pink shirt earlier and every time I looked down at my fingers, they were pink too! As you can see on my middle finger in this picture, it has a turquoise tinge, it's because I was wearing turquoise at the time. :)
I love the sparkle and how much this reflects, with my other silver polishes (Namely Sally Hansen Xtreme Nails "Celeb City") It's simply not as pretty as this! This polish is much less flat then other glitter polishes that I have tried. It's almost like you see every piece of glitter on your nails, which really doesn't come across in photographs.

random manicure.

So, I had an idea in my head and I tried it on paper, it just didn't work out. So, not being able to decide on a design, I just did a bunch of random ones.
First, a base coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Mint Sprint". This is ONE coat, the formula of this polish is amazing.

Then, I added one coat of "CHARMING", I got it for Christmas and I *think* the brand is The Color Institute, but there's no brand on the bottle.

Then, a coat of OPI Black Shatter on my ring finger.

Followed by various nail art done with Kiss Nail Art Polishes in black and white.
On top of that, two coats of Wet N Wild "Party of Five Glitters"
