NOTD- Jolt-Bang-Sunburst!





Salon Perfect textured polishes from the Neon Collision collection in Jolt and Bang. They both contain the same matte glitter in hot pink and neon yellow but in different concentrations. To the eye they look orange and give a cool stippled effect.

NOTD- Two-for-one


If I remember correctly this started with a base of Rimmel French Cafe, a nude jelly. Then it was Nubar Holographic on top. The tips were made using Nailene tip guides and Color Club Disco Dress which was then topped with Fing'rs V.I.Purple, a glass fleck with pink iridescence.

the polish is so glittery you need to wear shades
the glare is awful
This is all done over a base of Wet n Wild Spoiled Black Mamba, a grey glass flecked black. On the pinky it is topped with Orly Bubbly Bombshell, a fab fuchsia glitter. On the ring finger it is Pure Ice Wide Awake, a blue glitter. The rest have ncLA Sugar Fix, a gorgeous grey jelly with fuchsia and blue glitter. 

Tried hard to get a good picture of this but It's tough. This is super glittery and shiny and looks so much better IRL.

NOTD- Summer Blues


The lovely matte blue on the ring finger is ZOYA Phoebe. The glitter bomb is Pure Ice Wide Awake.

At 3 coats each Phoebe gives the better performance but sadly chips like crazy. Wide Awake wears well but needs a colored base for full opacity. Wide Awake is also an extremely difficult one to remove. Soaking with pure acetone barely made a dent in it. Don't put this one on unless you're committed!

this post was typed on my phone so I apologize If it is a mess. It was very difficult bc blogger seems posessed and is inserting words and letters in random places.

Quicky NOTD- Beetle Juice

Hard Candy Beetle and Pure Ice Bite Me gradient.

Beetle is a neat multichrome that switches from violet to gold to green. This color is a dupe for Orly Space Cadet. If you like Beetle you better head to your nearest Walmart quick because Hard Candy is discontinuing all the nail polishes as well as many other products.

NOTD- Vacation Nails

Of course I would get sick just in time for my trip to NYC to see the Twins of Evil tour (which was awesome even though I thought the smoke machines were going to kill me)...

Any way, here are my nails after 1 week of wear:


middle finger nail, y u no grow?
The pink skulls are Sally Hansen appliques and the blue is two coats of Color Club Otherworldy with one coat of Kleancolor Holo Blue. There is some moderate tip wear and the cuticle area is looking a bit rough but I think it all held up quite well.

The SH appliques are easy to apply but never quite fit my nails right. They also don't stay on worth a damn unless I keep them well away from the cuticle area (hence the huge gap), they'll peel up with in hours if they're even touching the cuticle.

NOTD- Night Sky

Playing around with some striping tape, as you can see on the index finger...

Thumb and ring finger: 1 coat of Sinful Colors Blue By You, then 1 coat of Color Club Otherworldly on top and then 1 thick coat of Color Club Sexy Siren to finish it off. The result is a glittery blue with some depth.

The rest of my nails: 1 Coat of Sinful Colors Visually Slimming, 2 coats of Sinful Colors Pearl Harbor then one thin coat of Visually Slimming. Using a dotting tool I applied just a teeny bit of Color Club Sexy Siren in random places.

NOTD- Gun Metal Rainbow

2 coats of Wet n Wild Spoiled Black Mamba
1 coat of Hits no Olimpio Hefesto on top
2 coats of matte top coat to all but the tips

The matte areas look much shinier in the picture than they do in person. Looking at my nails with out the camera flash you can't see any hint of holographic glitter in the matte section, it looks just like a soft flecked grey.

NOTD- Glitter Tips

Got inspired by Nail Blog... this look is a little bit different though. I went for a darker base color and skipped the flakes. As pretty as they are they never lay flat and catch on EVERYTHING, thus driving me nuts.

NOTD- Holographic Vinyl Record

I love holographic polishes, they're super eye catching! This NOTD is not created with a single blue holographic polish. Instead I have combined Kleancolor Holo Blue and LA Girl Vinyl Record from the Disco Brites collection.
