Red and Holo Glittery Goodness

Please excuse my cuticle area.  I was picking at the polish and it looks a bit sloppy, but I just LOVE these polishes together.  These are a couple of the colors I got for my birthday, but I plan on posting my haul too so watch for that if you are interested.   I used Butter London in Knees Up and a holo glitter from Claire's that just reads "Glitter Topcoat" on the bottle, but is so dazzling I could hardly stop looking at it. 

Lava Nails

Hello pretty people!  I present unto you red crackle over a yellow/orange gradient.  The gradient was kind of lost behind the crackle, but I like the effect. My boyfriend said the looked like lava.  I used L.A. Colors in Shock and Sinful Colors in Cloud 9 for the gradient and the red crackle is from Pure Ice and is called Show Stopper.

Geometric Pattern NOTD

I'm kind of proud of my mani today.  I was inspired by a post on reddit that you can see here.  This is really the first geometric kind of print I have done and I love it.  I used China Glaze in Sea Spray for the base on all my nails.  Dotting and taping was done using Pure Ice in Kiss Me Here and Super Star (white), and also China Glaze in First Mate.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Nude with Red Dots NOTD

I was so excited my dotting tools came in the other day.  I had pretty much forgot I ordered them so it was a pleasant surprise.  I wanted to start off small and simple so did this nude mani with red/orange dots on the accent nails.  I've never been one to do only accent nails, but I love the shade of nude and and how creamy smooth it is, so I figured why the hell not.  I recently got a new phone with a decent camera and it takes pretty good pictures but it sucks to take pictures of my fingers with it, because the button to take the picture is only on the screen.  So, taking pictures of my nails has become a somewhat awkward thing.  Anyhow... Here is my mani...

 I used Essie's Sand Tropez for the base color.  It's quickly becoming one of my favorites.  the dots are Spoiled in Breakfast In Red and Wet n Wild Megalast in I Red a Good Book. 

Matte Neon Glitter NOTD

Hello good people!  My mani for the day is 3 great things rolled into one.  We have China Glaze in Purple Panic, which is billed as a neon, and is a lovely bright fuchsia.  Layered on top of that is L.A. Girl Glitter Addict in Synergy, a gold glitter with micro glitter and medium size gold holo hex glitter.  It's not a very dense glitter which would bother me in some cases but I love the purple panic so much I didn't want to cover it up.  All of that is topped off with Hard Candy's matte topcoat, Matte-ly In Love.

Birthday Nails/NOTD

My boyfriend's birthday was yesterday and he picked out my nail polish for the day.  I gotta say it was not a bad combo.  He picked out Lacey Lilac from Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear and Frenzy from Sinful colors.
