Jade Vermelho Surreal & Mystic Gold

I'm sure most of you fellow polish addicts have heard the buzz about the awesome new Jade Holografico polishes from Brazil right?? (<-- wow that was a mouthful!) Today's post will feature two of the more unique shades from their collection. Let's take a look! Both of these were taken in direct sunlight with flash.

One coat of Jade Holografico Vermelho Surreal

 Had to add an extra pic of this indoors with flash
This is how it looks most of the time. A gorgeous vibrant red <3

Two coats of Jade Holografico Mystic Gold

Aren't they gorgeous?? C'mon, who's heard of a true red and/or gold holo before? Exactly! One of the best things about these holos is that they aren't the special kind that need an aqua base (like Nfu Oh's, Laylas, Gosh, etc). I applied both of these polishes without a top coat for maximum holographic blingy-ness. Dry time was pretty good! They were soooooo pigmented you guys! I still have several from the rest of the collection that I can't wait to try out. So, do you own any of the new Jade Holograficos? Planning to get some soon? You should! =D Thanks for reading lovelies!

Franken Friday: A Charcoal Grey Glitter Bomb

Hello all! How are we doing today? It's been a while since I had any frankening experiments, so today, I decided that I would give it a go. I used leftover glitter from a craft project way back in the days. Here are the results!

Pics below are with a black polish because I didn't want 

the bottle to fight my mani for the camera's attention =P.

Click to enlarge the pics!

 Crazy bunch of charcoal grey glitter!

These are pics without flash on a gloomy day... so cool!

She's so sparkly!

This was 2ish coats that I "dabbed" onto my nails as opposed to swiping (what I do with normal polish). Not gonna lie, it was a PITA to work the glitter around but once there was good coverage on the first coat, the second coat pretty much filled in the empty spaces. I topped it off with 2 coats of gelous to even any bumps and a single coat of Seche Vite. GUYS. I could not capture the crazy sparkle of this polish on camera. Guuuh, she's so puuuurdy. I kept catching the holographic glitters out of the corner of my eye all day. And these pictures were in gloomy weather. Eep! If the sun was out, I think I would've died. So what do you guys think? I don't have a name for it yet... maybe you all can help me out with that =D. I was also considering including this one in my upcoming giveaway but not sure how many people want to deal with hungry fussy glitters. Hrmm... I will think about it. Until then, have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend! Thanks for reading lovelies! <333

Spectraflair Manis

Hi everyone, how have you all been? A bit of a special one today... here we have a double feature post consisting of two manis using a spectraflair franken I made. A little backstory behind this franken is that I actually bought the pigment from a seller online who has been providing the special rainbow magic to tons of us in the nail polish community. Sadly, I heard that he recently passed away. These manis are a thank you to Sid - you will be missed! Thanks for providing us with endless possibilities to create some awesome polishes and enjoy what we love! =D

Cosmestic Arts Purple for Base, 1 coat of Spectraflair

Cosmetic Arts Teal for Base, 2 coats of Spectraflair

Goodness, it's been SUPER bright out lately. Great for holo manis of course so I hope you guys enjoyed these. Spectraflair can pretty much make any base color look holo-rific! Also, since I am getting extremely close to that 300 follower mark, I'm thinking about including this in a future giveaway too. But, I shall figure that all out later! Till then, I hope everyone has been having a wonderful day. Love you all! XOXO

P.S. It's nice to see you guys again! =]

Overcast Mani: Glitter Gal Lizard Belly

Sooo YES, I am guilty. I am guilty of going back to square nails. Hahaha! I really tried my hardest to stick to oval nails and while it did last for almost two weeks, I just couldn't fight the urge in me to file them back down to square nails :P. Even though they are nubbins for now, I still love my square nails over the oval ones. I think I'd go with oval shaped nails when I want something a bit more sophisticated but let's face it... a girl's gotta have some fun in life right?! So back to square nails I go :D.

As you've noticed, the weather is NOT working with me today. Mr. Sun just doesn't want to come out to play. It doesn't matter though because the awesomeness of this polish cannot be tamed! Even in overcast weather, Glitter Gal's Lizard Belly still shines with its beautiful holographic sparkle. Let's get on with the pics!

Isn't she a beauty?! I'm sure you've all seen plenty of this polish in the bright beautiful sun so you are aware of its "holographic power" but seeing how much it still shows up in gloomy, cloudy weather really tells you how wonderfully awesome this holographic polish is! While it does look almost black, it's actually a darkened green holographic polish. Gosh, I just can't' help but stare at my nails :P -- potential driving hazard anyone?! Hahaha, hope you all are having a fabulous November. I can't believe the holidays are coming up so quickly now. Thanks for reading all you lovelies! <3

Blue Holo Funky French

Well hello my lovelies! How is everyone doing this fine October Sunday? Well, Sunday where I am at least =P.  I hope all is well at your end of the world. I, as you all know, have been quite the busy bee. Anyway, today I am featuring a mani I did some time ago but never officially posted about. It was a mani for Sara's blog that featured two awesomely awesome polishes that are just awesome (is the awesomeness clear yet? =). So here we go... pictures first, info later? Oh hellz yes!

Blue + Holo = match made in polish heaven

Nom nom nom, I love yummy pics =P

Moar pics for good measure! =D Rawr!

So if you all are wondering which polishes I used, the base is obviously one of the ever-so-popular OMG polishes from China Glaze. The color is 2NITE -- a medium blue holo that looked absolutely AMAZING in the sun even all by its lonesome (or shall I say awesome? =D). And the funky french was completed with China Glaze Secret Periwinkle from the Spring 2010 Up and Away Collection. Secret Periwinkle is a beautiful periwinkle as the name states -- but I found that it leaned more towards blue than purple. Hope this helps you periwinkle lovers determine whether is it worthy enough for your collections teeheehee. That is all people! Hope you guys had a great weekend ^_^
