Swatch: Golden Rose 178

Golden Rose 178 is a bright orange jelly, much brighter than my camera wanted to admit.

I did two coats, one of which was thick. The second photo is colour accurate.



ORANGE :D

NCC Stamping #3

=O I might actually finish May's challenge! I'm defs cheating today. I tried stamping on top of yesterday's glitter combination and it failed. So I remembered I have stickers! Pink stickers! I put on on my thumb and my ring finger =3 I sealed it with more Essie Pure Pearlfection.




=D I like it? Will the NCC forgive me? (Lol, I ask for a lot of concessions... so late! =_=).

They did better (they always do) - go look ^^

Swatch: Rainbow Honey Hanami

Omgawsh gaiz, I'm doing so much nails! #unemployedlyfe

Anyway, over Orly Purple Pleather I tried to do a gradient using one of my Robot Collection Rainbow Honeys! Dusty Bot looks purple in the bottle but came out very silvery. I think it's pretty and I can't wait to do a base coat with it.



It was hard to do. Dusty Bot is very opaque. Better keep that in mind for stamping sometime ;D

Next I covered it in glitter. In my last purchase I got Hanami, from the Sakura Matsuri collection. It's full of matte silvery hexes and shards and pink ones too.


 I used Essie Pure Pearlfection as a topcoat.



It's amazing how nice it feels to have something shiny to look at. I'm actually starting to wonder what will happen if I find a job that doesn't allow nail polish...

Visit Rainbow Honey and tell em I sent you!

Swatch: Orly Purple Pleather

Google+ commenting is weird huh? There isn't a reply button anymore =/ Hopefully we figure out the kinks.

Anyway, I have another polish from that huge box Nails for the Sake of Sanity sent me and it is a WINNER.

Orly Purple Pleather is another matte/rubber finish polish and it only took two coats.


I wish the photos were better =3 What's your favourite purple polish?

NCC: April's Pastels #3 - super late..

I'm never going to have posts up on time, why even ask? Anyway, I had Vespa from yesterday on and decided it needed some dressing up. I picked Nyx and Godiva. I think I'll be bouncing around this challenge a bit, I apologize if I step on anyone's toes.




As you can see, I just striped around a bit. It's not terrible. Sometimes simple things work out better =3

Swatch: Zoya PixieDust Vespa

Herro! Today I have the last of Zoya's spring  textured matte collection - Vespa. I definitely should have waited for the new ones but just like Nyx, these look way more impressive to me in the photos.




Not nearly this impressive in person. I love green but... meh.

Zoya's releasing a fall collection too. I don't know man, I just want all of them! I'm not sure how I'll feel if they turn out like these ones though...

Did you guys get into the textured matte thing? What's your take?

Swatch: Glitzology Marley

I had to give Bitty Love Bot the attention it deserves (and I wasn't feeling the effort to do Raichu with my off hand) so that means GLITTER.

I chose Glitzology Marley. This is a mix that's different sizes of red, yellow and green matte glitter. It's actually a tough one to match to a base. I didn't want to pick a colour that would drown any of the colours. I think I did okay. Kinda Christmassy, but judging by the weather lately we skipped summer anyway.




Hurrah glitter! Glitzology has a Facebook page and an Etsy shop.
