Daring Digits Popped!

Hey polish people!

Today I am wearing Daring Digits Popped over Color Club Poptastic! The weather is starting to warm up here in NB (even though it just snowed two days ago....) but this manicure is perfect for this sunny day!

This has got little circular glitters in rainbow colors and bigger rainbow coloured shard glitters! When I say rainbow I literally mean rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue & purple :)

This is two coats of Popped and the glitter distributed nicely, I pushed some of the big ones around on the second coat to get the look I wanted. I like how this turned out, a different take on rainbow glitter. I like the randomness of the shards and I like the ratio of shard to little glitters!


Look how bright and happy this polish is? I am a huge fan. I am so happy to have this polish in my collection. It is a great colour for summer.

Something I love about Daring Digits is the size of the bottles and also the price. This is "mini bottle" and is 9ml! That means this will actually last me a long time. For reference a full size aEngland is 11ml, and a full size HITS is 8ml. This mini bottles are such a nice size. Her full size bottles are 16.5ml! That is a BIG bottle! Standard bottle size (OPI, CG, etc) is 15ml. Full size bottles retail for $8, and mini's for $4. The quality is great too. It is a great bang for your buck! Also her CS is great. When I had a question about my order, I had a response the very next day! She also runs some great sales, with reasonable shipping costs, even to Canada!

What do you think of this mani?

Enchanted Polish Wish Me Good Luck Swatch

Heyooooooo

I know, I know.. Been a couple weeks since my last post. I'm back though! Hi!

Up to bat is Enchanted Polish Wish Me Good Luck. This is from the Love A Lot of Glitter collection, and its Care Bear themed! This one has got a clear base with lots of little sizes of green glitters and then black squares, bars, and huge hexes. I think there are also a few blue squares and iridescent glitters in there too.

It was a little thick but applied nicely enough. I put two coats over one coat of Elevation Torres de Paine. In theory, I should love this... green? black glitter? big glitter? iridescent glitter? It should be in the bag. And don't get me wrong, its super funky and cool. And pretty in its own right. I just am not feeling it as much as some of her other polishes I suppose. I guess I am not totally in love.

OPI The Impossible Swatch

Greetings!

Today I have one of the OPI "Liquid Sand" polishes to show you! This is The Impossible from the Mariah Carey collection. I got this as a Valentines Day gift from my Secret Cupid. I was so happy! <3 

This is two coats. It is a coral leaning red textured polish and is super bright. Brighter than my pictures show. There are some holo hex glitters in there that sparkle as well as the occasional big holographic star glitter! This took a bit longer to dry than I am used to because of the lack of fast-dry topcoat. It wore very well though, except a few of the stars came off (probably because my nails are pretty curved).



I like the look of this one and the texture didn't bother me at all (except the couple of stars that eventually fell off!) What do you think? I think its a great polish for the summertime :)

Thanks for reading!

Nerd Lacquer The Quantum Bluniverse Swatch

Greetings fellow polish lovers!

Today I've got a full mani I wore when I got my Nerd Lacquer order last week. I've almost completed my "Library" of Nerd Lacquers. My polish budget isn't what it used to be though, so I am going to start having to be more choosey during restocks! Shipping prices are killin' me!

Anyway this is The Quantum Bluniverse. *Sigh* I have been lemming it for awhile now. It did not let me down. Its stunning. There is just something about that blue mixed with richer blue glitters, sprinkled with yellow gold and then the whole thing just GLOWS with golden shimmer. Its perfect! I've tried to fill the void I had in my life with other blue/golds but TBH they just don't cut the cake like this one does!

This description comes directly from Amanda at Nerd Lacquer "THE QUANTUM BLUNIVERSE is a deep cobalt with golden shimmer plus royal blue and gold glitter. It's young, it's hip, it's extremely clever, and man is it foxy. BRIAN COX, YOU GUYS. Omg."

Yeah she is hilarious and her descriptions always are amazing. Lovin' this one.
