Milani: Silver Dazzle

I only grabbed one of the Milani One Coat Glitters (unfortunately) because I was afraid of the removal process. But the color that I did get, Silver Dazzle, was totally worth it. I want to hunt down some of the other colors now. 

The polish went on pretty smoothly, but the finish was anything but. That is to be expected though. 

I love the blue-toned silver color. Wonderfully cool-toned. I couldn't ask for a more perfect silver glitter mixture. It reminds me of some pictures that I've seen on Nubar's Knights Armor, but with the sparkle factor amplified by 100. 

These next two pictures are a little bleached out from the ridiculously bright sun. My apologies. 

But you can get a good sense of the grittiness of this polish. It is basically as if you had coated your nails in glue, and then dunked them into a pile of glittery sand. 

Tip Toe Nail Polish: Rose Bonbon

or perhaps this polish is called Pretty in Pink. I'm not sure. I got this at Old Navy - they had a huge bin full of polishes at the checkout. I'm not usually a fan of pink - and I'm not really a fan of this one either. It has too much silvery glitter in it for my taste. If I'm going to do pink, I want it to be a nice warm toned pink. I definitely gravitate towards the salmons as opposed to this type of color. The polish itself isn't bad. This was 4 coats, and the polish was pretty sheer and thin, but it wasn't a pain to deal with. 

Ulta: Pinata-Yada-Yada over and under white

I wanted to see how the sparse multi-colored glitter of Pinata-Yada-Yada looked over white, so I did two coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White, and topped it with a coat of Pinata-Yada-Yada. I like it, but not as much as I liked it over black. Maybe it is the white I used.. I feel like it had a yellow tint to it, which I hateeee. But other than that it is pretty cool. Very festive. 

And then, because I love how China Glaze Party Hearty looks under a sheer white, I put two layers of OPI Funny Bunny (a very sheer white) over the previous mani. 

I like it better under the white. It reminds me of like... an unfocused camera or something like that. 

Ulta: Pinata-Yada-Yada over Sinful Black on Black

I wanted to show you guys a great cheap Deborah Lipmann Happy Birthday look alike - Ulta's Pinata-Yada-Yada. It only cost me 2 dollars- which is fabulous. And I love it. I didn't expect to - since I had no desire to pick up Milani Gems or Happy Birthday. But check it out over the best black in the world - Sinful's Black on Black. This is one coat of Black on Black and one coat of Pinata-Yada-Yada.

Sally Hansen: Silver Lining

Today I wanted to show you guys a nice summery color, so I went with Sally Hansen Silver Lining from the collection last year that had Hidden Treasure. This polish is pretty sheer (along with practically every other polish from that collection). This was 5 or 6 coats... But worth it, I think. It has a clear base, and it is mostly made up of silver glitter - but there is the occasional hint of blue/green/teal glitter that makes it special. 

OPI: Cozu-melted In The Sun

Today I wanted to show you the polish I've been wearing most of this week for my numerous interviews. OPI Cozu-melted in the Sun is a fantabulous peachy golden shimmer polish. Perfect for interviews - conservative yet blingtastic in the sun. 

And in the shade... still very reflective.

OPI: Tease-y Does It

I don't think these pictures really do this polish justice. It looks very brown here, doesn't it?? In real life it seems like the glitter is more red. Oh well - I'll try to take more pictures soon and see if they are any different. 

Zoya: Delilah

I don't like Zoya Delilah as much as other red glitter polishes (like say... China Glaze Ruby Pumps) but it  is still nice looking. I think the glitter is too small and sinks into the polish too much for my taste.
