All That Glitters Princess Collection

I have an awesome super glittery collection to share with you today! This is All That Glitters Princess Collection. I love a great glitter, and I love princesses. I'm a 5 year old at heart, and have no qualms about wearing princess crowns to Disney World and taking pictures with princesses. Needless to say, this is a collection I was very excited about!

I am using All That Glitters' descriptions on these polishes, she can describe her own polishes better than me!  You can get fuller coverage with these within around 3 coats, but I prefer to layer them over a base because it adds depth and uses less coats of polish.


L-R:
Glitteriest of Them All, Be Home by Midnight, Arose From a Sleep, Fins for Feet, Book Smart Beauty, Not a Prize to be Won, and Kissing on a Frog.

Glitteriest of Them All over Revlon Raven Red


Glitteriest of Them All has a deep red base with 7 multi-colored glitters scattered throughout in various sizes and colors to represent some little men Glittieriest Of Them All lived with.

Be Home by Midnight over Revlon Dreamer


Be Home By Midnight has a light blue base and is mixed with chunks of a glass slipper; I mean silver holo, baby blue and perwinkle in various shapes and sizes.

Arose From a Sleep over Orly Lollipop



Arose From a Sleep has a pink/blue duo colored base with multiple pink, fuchsia and periwinkle glitters in various shapes and sizes. 

Fins for Feet over Zoya Bevin


Fins for Feet has a blue/green duo colored base with tons of various blues/aquas/teals/periwinkle glitters as well as some green and purples. A little red glitter thrown in for good measure to match this Princess' hair.

Book Smart Beauty over Orly Artificial Sweetener


Book Smart Beauty has a pink/gold duo colored base with multiple pink and holo gold glitters in various shapes and sizes.

Not a Prize to be Won over Nails Inc. Baker St.


Not a Prize to Be Won is a rebellious Princess polish and has a light turquoise colored base with different turquoises and purples glitters in different shapes, colors and sizes.


Kissing on a Frog over Zoya Bevin


Kissing on a Frog as a green/yellow duo colored base with sea green, periwinkle, turquoise, blues and greens mixed in various colors, shapes and sizes.

These are beautiful glitters. I love how each of them matches perfectly to the princess in mind. That being said, they are creative and unpredictable. The combination of the colors, varying sizes of glitters, and the addition of duo colored bases really make these polishes special. I like the added touches in these because it shows how thoughtful Kirsten from All That Glitters was when creating these polishes. It is a very well conceived collection. The only thing I noticed was that some of the formulations were thicker than others, however I think this is to be expected with polishes that are this glittery. They were still very workable and applied well to the nail. I approve of this collection!

All That Glitters next restock will be September 5th at 8pm PST on her etsy page. These polishes can be purchased individually or you can buy the whole collection. You can see more photos of this collection and get restock updates on All That Glitters Facebook page.

* I received these polishes to review by All That Glitters

Happy Wednesday!

All that Glitters- Glitter Glory

The time has come! I have been looking forward to the Olympics since the beginning of this year. I love the Olympics. I love the world coming together to compete in friendly games. I love athletes stories. I really have zero interest in mainstream sports they play in the USA where players get million dollar salaries. Boo. I like a story and heart. The athletes in the Olympic games have trained for years, and to compete in the Olympics is often their ultimate dream. It's so inspiring.

I got to go to some events in the 1996 Atlanta summer Olympics. I was only 10 at the time, but I remember and loved all the excitement about being there. I remember we got to see a basketball game, a baseball game (no longer an Olympic sport), and a table tennis match. They were certainly not the most highlighted events of Olympic games, but it very cool nonetheless. We stayed at my grandma's house at the time, and I'd stay up all night watching the replays of the gymnastics events on her TV in to the wee hours. I thought Dominique Moceanu was the coolest girl ever back then. So, yes my love for the Olympics goes back! 

Enough jibber jabber! Here is my patriotic manicure for the day. 

All That Glitters- Glitter Glory over black creme


Glitter Glory is a mixture of red, white, and blue glitters in a clear base.

I'm all set nail wise for Olympics! I also love the opening ceremonies and closing ceremonies. I'll be glued to that tonight. The parade of nations is definitely a highlight for me. Whew! Can you tell I like the Olympics?

Will you be watching the opening ceremonies? What are your favorite summer Olympic sports?

My favorites are gymnastics, diving, swimming and track & field. 

Happy Friday!

P.S. You can still submit your Olympic manis to me up until August 11th. I'll be featuring them in the next 3 Sundays "Share with You Sunday" posts. If you're interested in submitting the directions are here
