What's Up, Nails?

I've been focussing on makeup a little more lately, so I haven't posted anything about my nails nor have I really been doing anything fancy. I tried to swatch China Glaze Flying Dragon for you, and it really was a lovely colour but photographing it was a nightmare. So maybe next time!

Here I have for you two of my manicures from the last week or so. The first was inspired by this video:



Base colour is: True Colors in Lovely
Sponged on: Wet n Wild in Ebony Hates Chris
Glitter: Nicole by OPI in Make a Comet-ment

Then I was feeling that one was a little bit dark, but I went with a colour that I've actually posted before, so nothing too exciting.



Colour: Essie in Lapiz of Luxury
Accent Nail: 2 coats of Nicole by OPI in Make a Comet-ment
+ 1 coat of Essie Pure Pearlfection

I've been really really busy with school lately, but I'm hoping to get around to doing more posts in the near future. I also got a bunch of the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters that I'd like to review for you, soon!

Glitter Gradient: Gosh Gasoline & Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-Ment

The pictures really do not do this manicure justice. It's gorgeous and holographic and purpley and wonderful.

Gosh Gasoline is one of my favourite purple nail polishes ever, even if it takes like 4 coats to make opaque.

As for Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-Ment, I just picked it up at Shoppers the other day and it's amazing. My first holographic type nail polish - beautiful silver holographic sparkle. I've read it takes about 3-4 coats to make opaque on it's own, but I decided to do a gradient with it and it looks amazing. Did you know it's really hard to capture holographic shimmer on camera? Haha.

Anyway, onto to the nails!






And here's Gosh Gasoline:

How do you feel about holographic nail polishes?
Do you have a favourite nail polish (regardless of the colour) you go back to no matter how many new collections the companies put out?
