Glowy Mosaic

I don't know how I got the idea to mix these two polishes together but I'm glad I did! Below is the final look with a top coat.

After the two coats of the blue glow-in-the dark polish from yesterday I added a generous coat of Wet n' Wild's Correction Tape and let it dry. To add some depth I applied another coat of the blue glow-in-the dark polish with a second coat of glitter and a final coat of  the blue!

You still following me!? I added the two coats of blue glow polish in between the glitter to add some depth and give the finish a frosted window look.

To finish everything off I added a coat of Seche Vite and had no issues with dry time considering how many coats I used!! The glow polish was pretty great to work with, it dried super quick so I didn't experience bubbling or anything. I just realized the glitter is a fast dry too lol. I'm sure that must have helped a bit too.

It reminded me of some sort of tile mosaic, maybe because of the square shaped glitter. It also reminded me of a rubber ball lol. My sister said they reminded her of Easter Whoppers!

One final photo, this time in focus, of the glow :)

Glow Worm!

I spotted these glow-in-the dark polishes at Winners around Halloween and just had to have them! The brand is Color Zone, I've never really seen them any place other than Winners but they glow pretty well! Unfortunately they do not have names :(

Today I have the blue from the three pack I got which included a hot pink and a sheer green glitter. Most glow-in-the dark polishes are fairly sheer, and although this one was too it built up pretty nicely! In the photos I have today I used only two coats. As you can see it dries to a matte finish.

Still pretty sheer right? No matter, I planned on building it up for a glowy, glitter sandwich! Here's how it looks in the dark, a total of four coats of the glow polish.

To see how I layered it tune in to tomorrows post ;)

Bunny Nails! - An Easter Repost

Happy Easter Monday :) for those of you lucky enough to get the day off today I envy you! Today I'm sharing with you some Easter bunny nails.

It's actually pretty simple, using China Glaze's Light as Air as a base I stamped little bunnies from Konad dupe plate S10, which I got from the Born Pretty Store. The images on this plate worked perfectly with my Konad special polish in white, but when I tried some other regular polishes (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri) that normally work good for stamping, they didn't deliver on this plate.

I stamped the cute little bunnies pretty randomly on each nail so no two are the same. I added two coats of China Glaze Golden Enchantment on top, which is a gold holo glitter :) for the most part in doors it looks like a subtle gold glitter, but in direct lighting and natural sunlight the holo particles really shine!

Spotted! - Essence in Canada!

Today I've spotted Essence for the first time in Canada! I head heard about them coming to Shoppers Drug Mart but hadn't seen them until last weekend. It may have been due to the fact this display was in the same isle as deodorant ... what the hell Shoppers?!

Below are some close ups of the top and bottom of the display

Judging from the display it looks like it has been out for a little bit. The price compared to the U.S looks slightly higher, although I'm not familiar with all the specific product prices. The products start as $1.49 as the POP displays, and the hail polish is $1.49 as well.

My Easter Nails :)

I don't usually post on the weekend but I wanted to share my Easter mani with you all before Easter :)

It's actually pretty simple, using China Glaze's Light as Air as a base I stamped little bunnies from Konad dupe plate S10, which I got from the Born Pretty Store. The images on this plate worked perfectly with my Konad special polish in white, but when I tried some other regular polishes (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri) that normally work good for stamping, they didn't deliver on this plate.

Light As Air

More spring polishes on the way! Today I have China Glaze's Light As Air, from their Up and Away collection they released for spring a couple years back. Although I've had this one for a while now, this is the first time I've worn it.

In the bottle it looks like a very light pastel purple that appeared to be so light it looked like a light grey! On the nail, however, it is a little darker than the bottle, a nice pastel purple :)

I applied two coats to even everything out. The first coat was a tad thick and streaky, the second coat helped to even everything out. It wasn't the worst polish I've ever applied, but it wasn't my favorite either. I find most lighter colours and pastels have some issues with application, so I kind of expected it.

I topped off this mani with Seche Vite for some high gloss and to even everything out. I think I may use this as a base for an Easter mani :)

Bamboo-zled!

I haven't been using Konad/ fauxnad as much as I'd like to lately, and wanted a fresh new look without taking off Kustom Kicks, so I used my Konad dupe, M66 and stamped some bamboo with Konad special white polish!

To top everything off I applied two coats of Funky Fingers flakie, Asylum. In certain lighting my nails reminded me of a mermaids tail :) I kind of wish I had taken some more photos, by the time I looked at them on my computer I had already removed this mani. I can tell you is that it looked a lot cooler in real life.

P.S. My boyfriend takes credit for the title of this post! As soon as I showed him my nails he was like you should so name the blog post for these nails bamboozled!
