Sinful Colors Full Spectrum

Sometimes very simple glitter toppers blow me away. I think this is due in part to the base you use. A great color choice in base can really make or break a glitter topper. I think with this Sinful Colors glitter, I made it a win with the base I chose. So do I give props to the glitter or the base? I don't know, that makes my brain hurt.

Full Spectrum over Sinful Colors Candy Coated

Full Spectrum is a mix of pink hex and micro lavender holographic glitters in a clear base.

Color: I love this girly color combo of glitters. I also think my base color really helps this one out. It's pink and lavender, it's girly and sweet. I like it.

Formula: The formula on this is alright. I used 2 coats above, I can tell with more coats this would get clumpy. Stick to 2 coats.

Price: I got this for $2 at Walgreens

Overall: I like this glitter. It's simple, but pretty. It's not the most fantastic thing ever, but I really like it. I think this would make a very cute Sugar Plum Faerie look for the holidays.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

Happy Thursday!

Way-Cool Mani Wednesday: Snowy Tips

I have another holiday themed mani for you today. I'm really loving the combination of red and white this season.

Polishes Used:

China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Sonnetarium Snowfall

Manicure Description:

This was actually somewhat of a fail, but I like how it turned out anyways. I was trying to do more of a gradient effect, but the glitter mostly wanted to stay on my tips! I painted all nails with China Glaze Ruby Pumps and followed up with Sonnetarium Snowfall focusing on the tips of my nails.

Happy Wednesday!

L.A. Girl Teal Dimension

I have another one of the L.A. Girl 3D Effects to share with you today. I was really impressed with the color offerings in this collection. I'm sucker for blues and teals, so I had to get the teal one!

Teal Dimension

Teal Dimension is a rich teal with scattered holographic glitter.

Color: Does this not look like a foil I glued on my nail or what? This is pretty amazing. The holographic glitter in this is so strong and that teal paired with it=ahmazing.

Formula: Again, like the other this is on the sheer side. I needed used 3 coats with this one.

Price: I paid $4.00 for this on Cherry Culture.

Overall: Amazing. Stunning. Fantastic. You need this! Must have!

KBShimmer I Only Have Ice For You

Snow is something I can only dream of in Florida. I think the only time I've been in real snow was in Mt. Charleston, Nevada when I was 5. I don't really remember it. Then there was those times growing in Texas we had some ice/snow combo that I don't count as real snow. I used to really want to live in snowy weather, but I have many friends who live in the Northeast who have convinced me otherwise. Still, I would like to experience real snow as an adult, with snow in mind, here is a snowy looking polish by KBShimmer.

I Only Have Ice For You over Nuance Nightshadow

I Only Have Ice For You is a white base with white snowy flecks and holographic glitters.

Color: This is soft and subtle, but beautiful at the same time. I love how delicate this glitter looks. I recommend layering this over a dark base, this brings this glitter to life!

Formula: Easy and breezy. I used 2 coats over a base.

Price: I paid $8.75 for this on KBShimmer's website.

Overall: This is a beautiful glitter topper. I don't own anything like it. I love the softness of it, and how it looks over a deep polish.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

Happy Monday!
