Island Girl Island Dream

Hey Dolls

 

My Mom went to Vegas a couple months ago and brought me home a few Island Girl polishes!  She picked out some goodies (thanks Mom!)

 

Island Dream is a glitter bomb in a milky jelly base, which gives the over all look of a jelly sandwich.  My favorite way to wear glitter is in a sandwich!  I know there are a lot of these types of polishes around, but I'm still a sucker for them.

 

 

 



Island Girl Big Island Volcano

Hiya Dolls

 

My friend brought me back a few polishes from Vegas, and Island Girl Big Island Volcano was one of them.  BIV is a stunning green with fine white shimmer.  Well, it's hard to tell if the shimmer is white or light green.  It took 3 coats to reach the opacity I like.  This is such a fun Summer color.

 

Ain't she perdy?

 





Pure Ice Bikini and Island Girl Macadamia Nut

Hello Luvlies

 

Walmart here in Canada finally got some Pure Ice polishes.  Bikini stood out to me the most so I had to grab it!  Bikini is a lovely, soft blue with grey undertones.  I definately would not think to call this polish 'Bikini', but it's gorgeous nonetheless.  Formula was a bit streaky, so I needed three thin coats to even everything out.  I can see this being a color I'll gravitate to a lot, it's very soft and classy.

 

My good friend went to Vegas and picked out a few fun Island Girl polishes for me.  Lucky me!  This sparkley beauty is called Macadamia Nut.  Loads of blue and purple hex glitters in a clear base make this a really fun top coat.

 



 

Why didn't I make this into a jelly sandwich?  That was silly of me!

 



Twinsie Tuesday 3 Layer Experiment

 

I was pleasantly surprised with my 3 layer polish experiment for this week's Twinsie Tuesday theme. 

 

 

The idea was to pick 3 polishes to layer over each other.  We were supposed to choose 3 random polishes, but I went with what I already had on my nails as the base color, which was Essie Lilacism. 

 

 

Then I layered Aloha Surf by Island Girl Hawaii.  I love this fun glitter!  I knew I wanted to use a cream and a glitter and some type of sheer effect to top it all off.

 

So, for my third layer I chose Sinful Colors Let Me Go.  It is a verrrry sheer duochrome.  Love the flashes of green, and in certain lights there is a flash of gold.  I actually really ended up loving my final product!

Twinsie Tuesday Jelly Sandwich

Hiya friends!  Welcome to another Twinsie Tuesday.  This week is jelly sandwiches, my faaaaaave!

Here is mine

I used Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, mixed with a lot of clear coat to make a 'jelly' and I used Island Girl Aloha Surf, for my glitter.  One coat of jelly, one coat of glitter, and another coat of jelly = jelly sandwich!
