A Late St. Patrick's Day

Here's what I wore on St. Patty's Day. But not to worry. It's only months late. No big deal.

The base green is OPI Mermaid's Tears. I painted the clovers with Revlon Posh, and the accent finger is my FAVORITE gold of all time: Orly Glitz and Glamour. Seriously my favorite color ever. Perfect for my little pot o' gold!

China Glaze Mosaic Madness Over Hologram

First of all, look at what happened!

Oh my gosh I was so upset. I mean look at that! So that resulted in me chopping my nails down to stumps. But I had to go to convention for my fraternity, so here is what I was wearing. This is right after the Glitz Bitz N Pieces (?) Collection came out so I was still pretty obsessed with them. And the fraternity colors are white and blue, so I just had to incorporate those!

 Hologram is a silver holo that takes about 3 coats for full opacity and you can only see the holo in direct sunlight. But that's okay, it's still pretty. And Mosaic Madness is a blue an black multi-sized glitter. There's some bar glitter in there too, which really makes this glitter.

Wet N Wild On A Trip With China Glaze Bling It On

Here's China Glaze Bling It On (the Glitz Bitz 'N Pieces Collection is one of my new favorites) over Wet N Wild On A Trip (a gorgeous dusty purple creme).

China Glaze For Audrey

This is China Glaze For Audrey (a classic) with OPI Gone Gonzo over it on the ring finger. I've never been a real fan of the accent finger but I actually really liked this one, probably because it was so subtle. It's 2 coats of For Audrey and two coats of Gone Gonzo.

Teal and Brown Foil Glitter Gradient

Man, I really suck at this whole "blogging on a regular basis" thing. But there's been a lot going on and I just haven't been able to keep up! But I've still been taking pictures every time I did something new, so I'm just playing catch-up with myself right now.

This is one I did months ago. It was Revlon Spice It Up, then with two different foils (from dollarnailart.com): the Teal and the Emerald colors. Then I topped off the tips with some classic China Glaze Fairy Dust.

Song of the Day: Pompeii by Bastille (this one really gets my feet tapping!)

Black, Red, and White Hearts

I originally did this mani for Valentine's Day and man I wish I didn't. It was cute and everything, but I could have done something so much more festive. Anyways. Here it is. I used Orly Dayglow as my white base, then Wet N Wild I Red A Good Book and Revlon Black Lingerie for the hearts. Then I covered everything with Sinful Colors Opal Glitter.

Not really what I had in mind at the time, but still worth sharing.

Song of the Day: Shiver Shiver by Walk the Moon (this song seriously is one I can't stop listening to)

Zoya Aurora

I got three polishes for free from Zoya's "Try 3 Free" deal at the new year. So I got Aurora, Ki, and Valerie for $10 shipping and handling! Whoa!!

These 3 are my first Zoya polishes, as I never thought I needed them. I am shocked I never invested earlier! They definitely did not disappoint! When I opened the polishes I was surprised at the brush, I thought it was really small in comparison to the others I've seen. But it spreads beautifully and I had no problems with it at all!

Here's Aurora. None of these pictures adequately show the awesome holo in this purple polish, but still. It's awesome. This purple holo is almost a dark fuschia, and it definitely looks like it has a pink undertone in it but it is definitely purple. The formula was great, and if I had been more careful I could have gone with 2 coats, but I was still a little streaky so I did 3. I can't believe how gorgeous this color is!
