Glitter skittles

Today's post is a quickie - because I don't have much to say...

We had a glimpse of winter sun last weekend so I had some fun with my new nubbins and had a little glitterfest!  One quick coat of a different glitter polish on each nail added just enough sparkle to take the aqua blue Pacific Fever to another level of pretty.

Here's the result using T.B.N Glitter 908 on my index/pointer finger, Essence Make it Golden on the middle finger, Aisai 50 on the ring finger and OPI Rainbow Connection on the pinky:

 

 To give you a better view of the different effects I've added some close up shots of the individual nails:

T.B.N - Glitter 908

Milky iridescent glitter.

Essence - Make it Golden

Gold hex glitters in a sheer gold shimmer polish.

I could have done with an extra coat for a more even glitter coverage.

Aisai - 50

Blue hex glitter in a clear base.

Love the glassy finish of this polish - my fave.

OPI - Rainbow Connection.

A rainbow mix of different sized glitters.

What's your favourite?

Until next time.

Twinkle, twinkle holo star: Aisai - 48

Hi everyone!

This is a quick post to show you another glitter layered mani.  Aisai 48 is a delicately pretty layering polish consisting of fine silver glitter with holographic silver stars suspended in a clear base.  I applied a single coat over Butter London's Yummy Mummy and used a toothpick to place the stars near the nail tips.  I think this would be a cute mani for the festive season:

Thanks for looking!

Glitter layering again: Aisai 53

I'm writing this post snuggled up in bed wearing my warmest PJ's because it's f-f-freezing tonight!

Aisai 53 is a very girly pink glitter polish.  It's a mix of very fine glitter and large diamond shaped holo glitter pieces suspended in a sheer pink base polish.  Very pretty but it needs a bit of patience to place the large glitter pieces evenly on the nail - something I didn't do this time!  I just let them randomly land wherever they wanted to so it looks a bit, umm, well...like this:

Two coats layered over Love & Beauty Magenta (tip wear courtesy of 2 day old polish underneath)

The smaller glitter specks look like bubbles over the top of the holo pieces, giving this mani a sense of depth, like a snow-dome effect on the nails.  I'll have to try this polish again and apply it with the love and care it deserves.

Have a great weekend!
