Glitter Week Day 7!!

Alright well I honestly have 13 posts of glitters so this whole 'glitter week' isn't an actual week thing! haha :)

There are only 6 more days to enter my giveaway! So be sure to run and do that :) My plans are to add two more prizes: one for an additional winner (4 prizes total) and one for the person with the most unique comment. These things will happen only if I reach 200 followers :D So run and tweet and tell everyone and their brother! lol i love odd sayings.


Okay from left to right: Studio M Magic Attraction, Nubar Gem, Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty, Claires Glow in the Dark


From left to right: Glow in the Dark, Queen of Beauty, Gem, and Magic Attraction
Each is two coats of glitter by themselves.


Here they are again, each with one coat of black and one coat of glitter!



Here is a close up of  Magic Attraction. It is a clear base (its hard to tell) with just a crap ton of glitter! Its pretty amazing. I might pick up another one for my giveaway just because it is so unique. Most of the glitter is a coppery brown with holographic glitter also.


Here is a close up of Gem. It looks dupey to the glitter above, I'll do a comparison eventually. The main difference is this has a colored base. I don't know what color to call it honestly. Almost a brown leaning mauve. lol. Either way, it is also packed with glitter and holographic glitter. 


Here is a close up of Queen of Beauty. It is a clear based glitter with true silver glitter. No holographic or changing colors. It is actually pretty awesome without holographicness. As you can see, it does not like to spread out evenly by itself. So i recommend a color underneath it. 


Here is the glow in the dark nail polish. Claire's makes a bunch of different colors of glow in the dark nail polish, and this one is the white/clear version. It has light sparkles and you cannot tell it is glow in the dark. It is a great topper to give that extra pizazz. From what I can tell, the more layers of this polish - the more glow in the dark it is. I recommend at least three layers of it to make it glow!



So what do you think? Do you like the giveaway idea? :) Remember to enter it! It ends 6/30 at midnight and it is open internationally!! 


P.S. My little sister has started her own blog (hehe she wants to be like me :) ) and wanted me to tell you girls about it. She loves art and that is what it is based on. :)  http://artwork101-ashtyn2001.blogspot.com/

Zoya Faye


I have a killer migraine so I am heading to bed NOW! haha
So to make me happy, I am posting one of my new favorite polishes!!
Zoya Faye, I got it in my exchange purchase and it did not disappoint!

All of the pictures above have one coat on the pinky, two coats on the ring, three coats on the middle, and four on the pointer.
I am going to be doing all of my swatches like this. And then I will say how many coats I recommend. 
For this polish I think three coats is good :)

Zoya's website describes this as 'A bronzed mauve with purple and brown undertones flooded with bright gold glitter.'
I agree with that statement. But I feel like it is a mauve that leans pink with tons of gold and bronze glitter.

Also, I have heard it is a dupe for OPI's Rally Pretty Pink. So I would definitely buy this cheap alternative :)

What do you girls think of this color? Would you like Faye or Rally Pretty Pink more?
