Glitter Gal Holographic Blue

Hello ladies! The other day my boyfriend and I planned on walking around New Hope PA to do a little research for something he his planning. It was a gorgeous day so I slapped on a couple of coats of Glitter Gal's Holo Blue. I ordered this from Llarowe ages ago and it has been sitting untried for months.
This Glitter Gal is a true light blue holo. It is the only blue holo I own but I am okay with that because it is the perfect linear holo! The formula was great, two easy coats, not spotty like some holographic polishes out there. 





Share your favorite glitter gal polishes with me!

Green Gradient Nails

Before I start talking about what's on my nails today I just wanted to say WHOOHOO and a huge thank you to my 300 followers I acquired white writing this post! I know I'm not the most dedicated blogger but i do what I can because I truly enjoy the nail polish community! As mentioned before I do want to do a giveaway but I still need to gather some goodies for that.

Onto today's post:
I finally attempted a gradient mani! It actually wasn't as traitorous as I thought.
I followed The Nailasaurus tutorial and it was so simple I am kicking myself for not trying it sooner. 

For this manicure I began with Zoya's Tracie and let it dry completely. 
Then I painted a good amount of both Tracie and China Glaze Four Leaf Clover on a piece of paper and swirled the polishes together. I dabbed a makeup sponge into the polish and then patted it onto my nail. Easy Peasy! 



There will be many more gradient mani's to come! I love the look of gradients, you can have so much fun with them and get really creative.
Share with me your gradient nails!

China Glaze Rare and Radiant

Today I have one of China Glaze's new duochrome polishes. This one is called Rare and Radient, some would say a Chanel Peridot dupe! The Bohemian collection is full of strong duochromes and this one is no exception.
R&R has a mix of green and gold shades. In the light the gold is super apparent but when the light hits it right a gorgeous green shade peeks through.



I'm not the biggest fan of duochromes but I am happy with this one!
What are your favorite duochromes?

A-England Dragon

I finally get the hype surrounding A-England holos. This is A-England's Dragon holographic polish from their Legend Collection. Words can't describe how perfect this polish is. It's a mossy, forest green with the most amazing holo shimmer. 
Like everyone has stated in the past the application is spot on. I also noticed this polish didn't chip as easily as other holos I have tried. Kudos to A-England and this stunner!




Also I am so close to 300 followers so I just wanted to thank all of you and let you guys know how much I appreciate you guys! I am also planning on doing some sort of giveaway and was just wondering what you guys would like to see?!

OPI Last Friday Night

I didn't purchase OPI's Last Friday Night when it came out with the Katie Perry collection but months later I had the urge for the gorgeous blue glitter polish. Luckily I found it in a beauty supply shop near my work. 


 Last Friday Night is a blue glitter in a ultra sheer light blue base. The tiny iridescent glitters make it really shine!
This is 2 coats over 1 coat of Sinful's Fly Away


I also really love the look of this glitter on its own. It's really subtle but gives your nails a little flare!

Nail Venterous Floam


Happy Labour Day weekend. How nice is it to have an extended weekend?! 
Today I have on Floam by Nail Venturous. This is an awesome 'glitter' polish. The green blue and yellow specks are matte so it gives the polish a really cool effect. 
I used two coats of Floam over Orly's Bailamous. 
IMO it works perfectly with Floam.

Zoya Reagan

So my first post in a while comes from Zoya's Beach collection. I was really excited about Zoya's beach and surf collection, especially the cremes. Like always the formula was spot on and this mani was a simple 2 coater. I probably could have even gotten away with one coat. 
 



Rease is interesting because its not quiet fuscia not quiet berry, its a nice in between. It's a nice bright shade but not an in your face summer color. It's a nice shade to swear in transition from summer to fall.
Speaking of, i hope you all are enjoying the last month of summer !!!!!
