Nail Junkie

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Sinful Colors - Nail Junkie, two-ish coats
TC: Seche Vite

Aww, this polish is adorable. Pretty iridescent glitters in a teal-leaning greenish jelly. Unfortunately, the formula wasn't quite as great. It was a bit streaky, nearly impossible to get even, especially since I'd prefer to have thinner layers and once I get a little excess on one nail, I have to add another layer to all of them. But the prettiness makes up for it, probably! The perfect mermaid polish. I can't wait to wear it on my toes, hehe.

Wear: Bah, forgot to record.

Ice under my Shoes

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Undies: Wet n Wild - Break the Ice (Megalast line)
Glitter: XOXO Nail Candy - Goody Two Shoes, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

Ugh. The pictures didn't turn out so bad, but I feel like this was a wreck of a mani. I had to redo it because Break the Ice was separating over the base coat, OPI Spotted style. The second try wasn't much better, obviously, because I used the same base coat (I didn't realize it was the culprit until then), but I made it work.

Goody Two Shoes has a pink tinted base, so the pretty white shimmer from Break the Ice got lost underneath it, unfortunately. But it's whatever. It was a good try.

Wear: Removed after two days.

Moonlit Waves

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Rain City Lacquer - Moonlit Waves, two coats
TC: Seche Vite

I've been doing really well these past few months. I haven't bought nearly any polish at all. But... then Oh Three Oh Four posted these swatches of Rain City's Spring Sea-quinox collection, and I knew I HAD to have Moonlit Waves.

Moonlit Waves is a gorgeous mix of gold and silver holo glitters in a blue jelly base. One coat was very sheer, but the color came out nicely in two. Smooth formula, no fishing for glitters, all around super pretty.

Also looks very nice in the shade!

Wear: Four days.

Disco Ball

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - Colorstay Base Coat
Glitter: Sally Hansen - Disco Ball (Xtreme Wear line), two coats
TC: American Classics - Gelous, followed by Seche Vite

Aaaah, the iridescents! I decided against undies today--the pink of my skin made a cute enough backdrop, especially since the top coats gave it a completed.... polished look, hah. Made for a very simple, cute manicure.

Wear: Four days

Lunar Cinderella

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Undies Color: Sinful Colors - Cinderella, two coats
Glitter: Jordana - Lunar Lights (Glitters line), one coat on index, middle, and ring fingers; two coats on thumb and pinkie
TC: Seche Vite

This is the first thing I've worn Lunar Lights over, so I wanted it to be special, not just a creme. I chose Cinderella because it's been a while since I've worn it, too, and I knew the pink shimmer in it would add even more depth. It turned out nicely.

The trouble came when trying to take pictures. In bright light, I had the same trouble I had with the iridescents in The Worst Possible Thing. But, remarkably, they turned out just fine in the shade! Super pretty. At least I'm getting some photographing skills under my belt! :) Now to work on my application skills, still. Here's a pic taken in the light, just for contrast.

Wear: Gah, forgot to record.

Satin Crystalline

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Color: Sally Hansen - Crystalline (Satin Glam line), three coats
TC: None

Crystalline is the white from Sally Hansen's new satin texture line. I knew it was cute when I first saw it, but for whatever reason, I put off buying it for the longest time. Maybe I was trying to be "good" or something, I don't know. Hehe. But I couldn't put it off forever. It had to be mine!

It's not just a plain white, either. It's full of pink, blue, and teal micro glitter that gives it a sort of iridescent effect. Plus, it's super soft and nice to touch! I wore it without top coat this time around so that I could touch it, but I want to put some Seche Vite over it next time, since I've seen it look utterly gorgeous top coated in swatches.

Wear: Six days! Crystalline wore like iron on me! Mattes are notoriously chippy, but apparently satins are superior. Three coats took quite longer to dry than mattes normally do, too, though, and after these pictures were taken, I smudged one of my nails pretty bad. I'll have to use quick dry drops next time I want to wear it without top coat.
