Pink Matte Reverse Glitter Gradient

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am showing you a pink matte reverse glitter gradient that I did a little bit ago. I really like the look of the reverse glitter gradients and they are so easy to do! Other people are fans too, I am even doing my future  Sister-In Law's nails for her wedding with one :) (P.S. - Can't wait Kristi!)

Polishes Used:

-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus

-Essie - Cascade Cool

-Spoiled - Jewelry Heist

-NYC - Matte Me Crazy

I love this look, it's so simple, delicate, pretty, etc. I absolutely LOVE the look of glitter over cremes and then mattifying the entire thing! 

Do you like this look? Have you tried a reverse glitter gradient yet?

Venique - Twinkling Glitter

Today I am showing you Twinkling Glitter, by Venique, one of the polishes that I received from Katee. Twinkling Glitter is a big time GLITTER BOMB.

I was having some trouble capturing the AWESOME-NESS of this glitter so I took a couple outside shots too!

Polishes Used:

-Elmer's Glue (for the base, I will let you know how it goes for the glitter removal process)

-Sally Hansen - Celeb City (for the undies)

-Venique - Twinkling Glitter

-Gelous

-OTD

The outside pictures help show off the glitter of this polish but trust me, it is 20x more awesome in real life. Think, Lisa Frank....speaking of, I think I will try this over a hot pink next time and be SUPER girly. hehe. 

Do any of you own this polish? Do you agree it's an awesome glitter bomb?

Butter London - Shag

Back to work, and back to swatching my new polishes! Today I am showing you my second Butter London Polish, "Shag".

Polishes Used:

-OPI - Nail Envy

-Button London - Shag

-OTD

Shag is a lovely bronze shimmer polish. I have on two coats and it is completely opaque. I am really loving these Butter London polishes because the application on both have been wonderful. This is a really nice color for fall and imagine I will be using it as a base in some more nail art in the next couple of months.

Do you own any Butter London polishes? What is your favorite? Are they any other "must haves" that I should get my hands on?

Update: After I wore this polish all day, my husband's cousin asked me if I could try a dark burgundy / maroon with silver tips, Shag is a little more bronze/red but I added silver tips to show her anyway. This isn't a style I would normally wear, but was glad to try it out for her.

Adventures In Stamping - Let Someone Else Choose

Sunday Funday!

This week's theme in AIS is Let Someone Else Choose the plate or image. I let my husband not only choose the plate & image but also the colors. He is a big Washington Redskins fan so he picked Redskins colors. lol. Men.

Polishes Used:

-OPI - Nail Envy

-Finger Paints - Autumn Blaze

-Konad - Special Yellow

-OTD

-Plate BM-321

This isn't really a color/pattern/combo that I would have chose for myself. I would have done either pink ribbons over white or white ribbons over teal, etc. Anyway, I am not sure that my hubby loved this but he said it wasn't too bad - we were both a little disappointed that the yellow wasn't more opaque.

Still looks fun and I like supporting his team every now and then ;-)

I guess today, in addition to GO STEELERS, we have to say GO REDSKINS!
