Glitter with Half Moon Stamping

Hi Dolls!!! So today's mani is a little sparkly and flashy, exactly what I need to shake away these winter blues!!!

 I did a base of Zoya Reagan with two coats of Orly Bubbly Bombshell!  Bubbly Bombshell is like most glitter bombs because even though it is packed full of glitter it is still has a clear base that would take 3+ coats to get the coverage I wanted! So I did a base of Reagan! I then stamped a half moon design using Bundle Monster Plate BM-215 and China Glaze I'd Melt For You!!!

Now I usually shy away from glitter bombs, solely because they are a pain to remove!!! This mani reminded me that even though they may be a pain, the sparkle can't be beat!!!

Happy Labor Day Dolls!!!! Hope you have had a fantastic Holiday weekend:) I have had a very relaxing 3 days, now back to the grind tomorrow:( For tonight's mani I have a super awesome find for you.  Recently Five Below, a super cheap retail store opened up close to me, and I had to check it out:) While browsing I found that they carry Funky Fingers Polish and got super excited, and 3 for 5 is an awesome deal!!!  I picked up a couple of polishes but this green beauty was the first caught my eye;)  This is Wild Child a bright teal/mint/green almost neon cream.  Now the formula on this was great, not as pigmented as most creams and slightly streaky. It took 3 coats followed by a coat of SV to get me this look:)

 

 Now after 2 days I had some tip wear (I HATE THAT!!!!) so I thought about black tips and then saw My Orly Glam FX Mermaid Tale peeking out at me and just couldn't resist!!! So a little glitter gradient on the tips = super happy girl:) Love this look!

 

That's all for tonight, Dolls:) Sweet Dreams!!!

Pin it Thursday Jelly Sandwich

 Pin it Thursday # 2 is in full force today:)  I wanted to do something super simple as it has been a CRAZY week!!! I choose this PIN as my inspiration. A simple jelly sandwich. Now I have never done a Jelly Sandwich before (I know, where have I been) I decided to do two variations of the Jelly Sandwich Pink and Teal:)

For the Pink I used Zoya Paloma, and sandwiched in Jordana Glitters in Magenta Magic and Silver Jewel. and put once coat of Paloma on top.  I think I would have liked this more had I used 2 coats of Paloma to top it off.

For the teal version which is much like the original I used Zoya Frida as my based followed by Orly Glam FX in Mermaid Tale, followed by 1 coat of Frida and TA-DA perfection!!!!

 

 

So what did you do for Pin it Thursday???  Oh and a quick FYI;) I have a HUGE Surprise coming your way in a couple of weeks, I can't hardly wait!!!!

Do you ever feel like after you wear red polish that you can't follow it with another red... Maybe it's just me:) So after sporting China Glaze "Ruby Pumps" for the last few days I had to go blue!!! China Glaze "Frostbite" is my blue of choice today:) I just love this color its is like shimmery cobalt that is slightly neon!!! I did a glitter gradient with Jordana "LA City Nights" and Orly "Mermaid Tale". This Color combo is beautiful!!!! After wearing it all day I decided to add Essie "Matte about you" and guess what I ♥ it even more!!!! Tell me what you think!!!!
