Good morning!
Today I have my first Emily de Molly polish to show you! I'd lusted after it for quite a while but restocks of this brand are usually pretty crazy. One day I was lucky enough to be off work when a restock went live so I snatched this one up quickly and checked out!
Studded Jeans is a dusty, periwinkle-type shade of blue with gold flakes and gold holo glitters. I did find that the glitters and flakes sank a little bit, so I flipped it upside down before polishing my other hand and found that helped quite a bit. Three coats here for opacity. I'd already been wearing this mani for a few days before I took pictures so I apologize for the tipwear!
I really like my first Emily de Molly! There are a few more glitter-bomb type ones I quite like, I might try to get more soon!

Nail Pattern Boldness Boop Oop a Dupe
Hello there! Monday again, I can't complain though because I'm actually off today! Hopefully I'll do some swatching so I have posts for you this week! ;) After wearing EMIO for a few days, I thought I should throw a little somethin' somethin' on top to spice it up. My indie collection has been growing pretty fast lately, and I recently picked up a few polishes from Nail Pattern Boldness via Llarrowe. This is meant to be a dupe for the infamous Clarins 230 multichrome polish. I don't own it, nor am I ever likely to given it's astronomical selling price, so this is good enough for me!
The shimmer has a beautiful glow to it, and shifts from reddish to gold and even green at extreme angles, although I forgot to capture that on camera. I only used one coat over EMIO. The first picture is indirect lighting, then I hit it with some ray power!

I can't wait to try this over other colours! I've seen it used over a dark blue and it look fantastic that way, it might be my next experiment.

Nude Glam!
Not like that! Get your minds out of the gutter ;) This is a mani I found on Pinterest a while ago and have been wanting to recreate for a while! I think it may have been done with Deborah Lippmann polishes but my budget doesn't allow too many of them!
I used Essence Modern Romance as my base colour, it's a sheer nude with a pinkish/copper shimmer. I used three coats to cover my VNL. Then I used two coats of KBShimmer We Three Blings over top to glam it up a little! I topped the whole thing off with some SV. I actually really love this combo, it's a great way to do nude nails without it being a snoozefest. I love the mixture of hexes and flakes in the glitter topcoat, I'll definitely be trying it out over other colours!
And as I was looking through my photos on the camera, Oscar jumped into my lightbox and started playing with my polish!

KBShimmer Get Clover It
Hi there! Sorry I've fallen off the wagon a little bit with my regular posts, I need to have a good swatch session so I have some stuff to show you! I do however have a polish I wore a few weeks ago, KBShimmer Get Clover It from the new Spring collection.
I used two coats over OPI Jade is the New black. It's a good match for the green creme, and I found the glitter to be easy to place where I wanted it!
Green, jelly, circle glitter... This polish is definitely awesome!

Lac Attack Break the Night With Color
Hey everyone! Today I have a special polish to show you. When Anastasia of Lac Attack sent me some polishes to review, she was kind enough to slip in a couple extras! This is one of them. It actually has a pretty cool story behind it, which you can read about on Glitta Gloves here. I do not believe this polish is available for sale so I'm sorry about that, but it's too cool not to show!
I used two coats of BTNWC over a pale grey creme to really let the colours show through. I also love the black shards. It's definitely an awesome glitter!
I'm sorry about the tipwear there, I'd already been wearing it for a few days and was about to take it off for swatching. I think this polish would be great over just about any colour!

Dollish Polish Girls Rule Boys Drool
Hey all! I hope you had a fun Christmas if you celebrate, and a successful Boxing Day if you were brave enough to face the malls! I thought about going shopping today, but then decided I would rather read A Storm of Swords. I've been completely sucked into the Song of Fire and Ice books this past bit, so if anyone was wondering where I was... yeah, stuck between the pages of a book haha. BUT I remembered myself, and here I am.
Today I have a very pretty indie for you, and a rare one at that. I don't have many indies at all, but when I heard about this one I thought it sounded pretty cool. It's one of only 300 bottles, and to be given the opportunity to get it you had to fill out a form and have your name drawn. Kind of like a giveaway, but you still had to pay. haha!! Anyway I never expected to get to buy it because I never win anything, but I did! Yay!
Girls Rule Boys Drool is a very girly mix of tiny pink and purple matte glitters. This is also the first matte glitter I own, and I really like it. Here I wore one coat over two (or three? can't remember) coats of China Glaze Something Sweet to really amp up the girlieness. I also think it would look great over periwinkle, or white/cream, and obviously black.
There you have it! What do you think of this girly glitter? Would you wear it, or is it too much?
