Glam Polish's I Want To Play A Game

Glam Polish decided to release a ton of new limited edition halloween colors this past week. Unfortunately they were small batches so once they were sold out that was it, no more. I missed out on one shade I was wanting but I was able to get all the other colors I was hoping to get. Now although they are halloween polishes I am just not quite ready for halloween nail art. So to show off this stunning blue I decided to pair it with a galaxy look. I thought it would make the perfect background for a space look.

The most amazing part of this polish is the iridescent flakies that are in it. They almost look like opal does, when you look at it one way its one color and then you change the angle the color changes. I will say that they are a bit of a pain to get out the bottle and on to your nail, but once on they are just amazing. I did three coats of the polish to make sure that I got the most flakies I could. You could honestly probably only get away with two coats but I am a bit extra.

For the galaxy nails I thought it was only fitting to pull back out my Glitter Daze Space Candy collection. I ripped up a cosmetic sponge into the smallest pieces possible to keep from making the colors spread too much. I sponged down a white first, Kb Shimmer's Eyes White Open, to help ensure that all the pastel colors would show as bright as possible. For the colors I just went back and forth with Intergalactic Sprinkles, Cosmic Cake, and Lunar Cravings until I had the look I was going for. I did take some more of that white and with a brush dabbed on some stars. Once all the layers of polish had dried I went in with my usual coat of Hk girl top coat. Glam Polish is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites brands for those jam packed glitter polishes. You will definitely be seeing more from their halloween collection in my few next upcoming posts, so keep an eye out for them.

Hues of Blue Foils

I used my favorite black of all time, Opi's Black Onyx, to lay down a base color for the foils. Unfortunately the foils I have don't have a name or number on them. I purchased them from china from a no name company. One is a darker navy blue and the lighter shade is a sky blue shade. You can of coarse use any color foil you like. I used the foil glue that I got in a set from Sally's to make the sticky base. You can have to be careful and try to lay down as thin of a coat as possible. Once the opal glue turns clear after a few minutes you are ready to apply your foil. I did it in patches as opposed to a whole application. I just lightly touched the foil in sections to my nails and then would go back over those empty spots with the other color. I went back and forth between both foils until I liked what I saw. The most important part of foil application is your top coat. They do make a special top coat for them but I don't see the point in wasting the money. All you need is a slower drying top coat or even a clear polish. Quick dry top coats tend to cause the foil to wrinkle. If you are ok with that look then go for it. I actually used my Opi Top Coat first and then once that was dry I used my Seche Vite. The Opi gives a barrier between the foils and Seche Vite and keeps them from wrinkling up.

Fish Tail Theme

I am posting a bit early for the next theme in #WNAC because I want to save Friday's post for my Foiled Shadow Friday. The new theme is fish tail which I am not the biggest fan of. I have only done this design a few times because it's just not my usual style of nail art. This is the first time I did it using striping tape and I have to say I like it better that way.

Two coats of Orly french white as my base color, striping tape is from Amazon, all the colors are from China Glaze, the orange is home sweet house music, the pink is glow with the flow, and the purple is plur-ple, for top coat this time I used IMN out the door. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Beauty and the Beast Theme

*Disclaimer: Please excuse my nails in this look. I broke my middle finger nail and did not realize how bad the shape was until I painted and took photos.

Next up in my Disney Princess series I have Belle. Now I admit I did cheat a bit and use these adorable nail decals from Born Pretty Store . This was my first experience with nail decals and I am thrilled to say that they were so simple to use. All you have to do to apply them is hold the decal in water for about 10 seconds, slide it off the backing, and position on it on your nail. It's really that easy. You can check out all their other nail art products. They have a ton of different options and my code at the bottom on my post will help save you 10% off

 The yellow is China Glaze sun upon my skin. I used Opi I just cant cope-acabana to get the details on her dress. The base color is Essie mademoiselle. The roses are all a base of Essie double breasted jacket, with China Glaze bottoms up, and Color Club featured hair out to there for details. The stem is China Glaze treble maker and Opi jade is the new black. I used Seche Vite to seal everything in.

After I got done this with look I wasn't too thrilled with the yellow. I felt like it still looked patchy and is just not a great color on my skin tone. If I was to redo this I think I would use a different background color but when I think of Belle I think yellow.

Point Me To The Party

Can all of China Glaze's glitters please be as pretty as the ones from the Electric Nights collection?!? They lay beautifully on the nail, don't require a lot of fighting to get on the brush, and have a multitude of colors and shapes. I did sponge this one over white instead of brushing simply because I wanted to get as many glitter colors as I could on my nails. I will say it definitely isn't necessary. You can easily just use the brush to apply and still get great glitter payoff.

I used several of their cremes for the watermarble accent nail. I started off with using a thin coat of Orly French white as a base for all my nails. For the accent nail I used Daisy know my name?, Treble maker, Uv meant to be, Home sweet house music, Violet-vibes, and Glow with the flow. I do wish the marbling had come out a bit better but oh well. This look is supposed to be all about the glitter anyways.

When you look at the bottle shot to be honest it looks a little plain, but once you actually put this on it is super neon. I see this being my favorite pedicure glitter for the summer. I do have one more glitter from this collection to post but I am still waiting on it to be delivered. Keep an eye out for it in the next couple of posts.
