Twinsie Tuesday

Hiya Dolls!

 

Today for Twinsie Tuesday everyone is posting their astrology sign mani.  I'm not down with astrology, so I'm just sharing a pretty swatch with ya.  This little gem is Love & Beauty by Forever 21 Baby Blue/Hot Pink.  It has pink and holographic hex glitter with micro purple glitter suspended in a milky blue base. 

 

I needed 4 coats to get the opacity I like (I just lost all of you didn't I?).  My nails are pretty stained from all the polish I wear, so I needed 4 coats to cover that.  Using an opaque light blue base first would cut down on the amount of layers I need.

Black Glitter Skittles

Hiya

 

I have been loving the swatches of Illamasqua Speckled everywhere lately!  I don't have access to this brand nearby, so I imitated it with the polishes that I had on hand. 

 

The black glitter is L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Uninhibited.  Uninhibited has tiny black glitter and medium sized black hex glitter.  It is super jam packed with the glitters, so i had to dab it on rather than swipe.

 

Each nail has a base color, one coat of glitter and then they all have a coat of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu over top.  On my pointer is Revlon Dreamer. Middle finger is Sinful Colors Sweet Tooth. Ring finger is OPI My Very First Knockwurst, and my pinky is Color Club Blue-ming.

 

 

I was so excited when I saw this next polish by Love & Beauty (Forever 21) but once it was on, I didn't really love it.  Rose/Red (such a dull name) felt very chunky on my nails.  My base coat is Zoya Dita, and while this IS a gorgeous pink, I think I should have used a different color.  Rose/Red has a lot of different glitters going on!  It has lots of multi-sized irridescent shards, small silver glitter, red square glitters and large red hearts.
