Aphrodite Lacquers Review!

Happy Sunday, everyone. I just moved back to school yesterday, and I hate hate hate unpacking, so this is my break:] I have 2 lovely glitters from Aphrodite Lacquers today. They're both from the Friday Night Glitter Bombs collection just out, and when Rebecca and I were talking, she mentioned that they'd be great for jelly sandwiches. So that's exactly what I did!

Over 2 coats of Wet N Wild Fuchsia-Rama


Sandwiched between Fuchsia-Rama!



Eeeee! Catfight is described as "sheer red polish, with a pinkish purple shimmer, and multiple different red, black, and white glitters, including small red round holo glitters". The shimmer just would not show up on camera, but it's really nice IRL. I'm a sucker for pink and red combos, so this had me sold. I'll definitely be wearing this over 3 coats of Fuchsia-Rama next time. Also, I keep thinking of this polish as Catfish, not Catfight...

Disco Ball over Essie Berry Naughty

Over Berry Naughty, under Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl




Disco Ball is described as "sheer polish, with a silver shimmer, and multiple different silver, black, and white glitter". Shimmer city here! I love the black glitter over the dark base, and I like how the purple shimmer of Daddy's Girl looks over the white square glitters:]

With both of these, the formula was good and the glitter was pretty easy to get on the nail and spread. I love the addition of the shimmer, it makes the polish just a little more special to me. And again, Aphrodite Lacquers can be found here!

Red Ruby Sandwich!

Happy weekend, all:] Anyone have good plans for the weekend? I'm moving my little sister into school tomorrow! Weird... She's currently in our room packing while talking to herself. It's pretty amusing really. Heehee, don't tell her I talk about her ;]

So today, I have a mani I wore before I went off to camp this summer. I feel like I saw this type of combination before from Cordia over at Seriously Swatched, but I can't find the specific post:/ Anyway, I used Wet n Wild Fuchsia-Rama and Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby for this mani:







I really really loved this. It made me feel like Valentine's day! 2 coats Fuchsia-Rama + 1 RRR + 1 FR. The formula of both of these was really great also. Which is funnny, since Wet n Wild is like.. a dollar and Lynnderellas are going for insane prices on Ebay.

Twinsie Tuesday: Half Moon with Pastel & Neon

This week seriously flew by so fast for me, I can't believe it's Tuesday already! Anyway, the Twinsies were supposed to do a half moon mani using pastel and neon polishes. Now considering I don't really have neon polishes and I also don't have circley stickers, I think this came out well! I cut out the half moon shape using mailing labels and used this neon glitter I have in the works:]



Not the world's prettiest mani, but I like it enough:] The base I have going on underneath this is a jelly sandwich of OPI Care to Danse? and The Hungry Asian's Mumbling.




This is seriously so much better IRL. There's these teeny holographic glitters that look so pretty in the jelly sandwich. and the silver glitters look white, which I also love a lot.

I can't wait to see all the manis my Twinsies came up with!

A Scandalous Bubbly Bombshell !

Quick post today, so so busy. My guy had minor surgery today [he's out and doing great now!], so with that and school work and appointments, it's been a hectic day. So I'm gonna throw some [virtual] glitter at you all;] Here's 1 coat Orly Bubbly Bombshell + 1 coat Revlon Scandalous [aka Facets of Fuchsia] + 1 coat BB + 1 coat Scandalous! Basically the same as this mani, except with a different color of glitter. Yes, I still love it :D

Twinsie Tuesday: Jelly Sammiches

Hi! So I'm a complete doy and didn't read the whole line for our Twinsie Tuesday theme & thought it was just jelly [not jelly sandwich]. Soooo I redid my swatches and everything haha. I apologize for the lateness!!

Anyway, here's 2 coats of Revlon Royal [my favorite blue ever], 1 coat Sally Hansen Glass Slipper, and 1 coat of a frankened jelly with a little bit of Royal and a whole lot of clear to cap it off:]






The idea for this mani came from the awesome blog, Chalk Board Nails !

Make sure you check out all the lovely manis my other twinsies are doing today:
