Today, I am showing-off another L.A. Girl Glitter Addict. The base is three coats of Hard Candy Sky with two coats of Jostle.
By the way, Hard Candy Sky has a terrible formula - very thin and runny.
Thanks for lookin'!

Glitter Nirvana
My shipment of Glitter Addicts arrived yesterday and it felt like Christmas morning to me! I actually waited a couple hours to build-up the excitement.
Behold:
Behold:
L.A. Girl Glitter Addict: l to r
Nostalgic, Flamboyant, Jostle, Animate
Explosion x 2, Uninhibited x 2
Same lineup
Jostle, the one that induced a sharp inhalation upon first seeing it.
Of course, the pic doesn't capture the magic!
OPI Sweetheart base, three coats with one
coat of Uninhibited. Oreos&milk, anyone?
To summarize, these are densely packed glitters in a clear base. The manicure possibilities are endless: black (uninhibited) over red = ladybug, orange (flamboyant) over black = halloween, Aqua (nostalgic) over coral = tropical island, silver (explosion) over black = New Year's Eve, any of them sandwiched between jelly coats = jelly sandwich. Yum! I can't wait to show you what I come up with! Oh yeah, these were $4 each, no shipping fee, purchased from LA Girl website, fast delivery.

Sinful Colors Mint Apple + stamping
Hi everyone! I heard about Sinful Colors being on sale at Walgreens for 99 cents, so I purchased Mint Apple, Thimbleberry and Pink Glass. Here is Mint Apple:

NYX Girls + stamping
Sometimes I buy nail polish, not realizing that I have something nearly identical at home. So, I after I applied three layers of NYX Girls Roots, I realized it was pretty much identical to Orly Rage. However, Orly Rage is a one-coater and NYX Girls Roots is very sheer. It might be interesting for layering.
Then I did some random stamping with my different black polishes. As usual, the Konad special polish looks the best. (on pinkie)

Pallette cleanser - breath of fresh air!
Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while because I'm working on a start-up business idea. I'm contemplating a retail store, just for nail polish/products. Just doing research right now to see if it's a viable business venture.
Anyway, here is my latest mani, which I'm really liking - it's refreshing! Two coats of Sinful Colors Easy Going, three coats of Kleancolor Aurora. Of course, the pics don't capture the sparkliness of it, but believe me it's there!

Stamping away the blues.
Hey everyone. I was conflicted about posting this. I love the color combo and stamp design, but there are a lot of flaws in the application. . . . .well, I don't pretend to be perfect, so here it is!
The base is Sally Hansen Salon Navy Baby, which I found at a Dollar Tree for $1.50. I love the formula. It is stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue, using bundle monster plate 19.

Wild at Heart
Hi everyone! Today, I have for you a leopard-print manicure. This was accomplished with three coats of $OPI Already Famous, stamped with black Konad polish and BM plate 221, and topped with the one and only Seche Vite. I've found that every $OPI polish I've used is VERY sheer, and I could still see visible nail lines after three coats! I think generally, $OPI is overpriced, and not that great of a formula, IMO.
