Time to Celebrate!

So, my 1st of many mani's this week is LA Girls Glitter in Celebrate. I thought the name fitting since it's my week off and I'm in a great mood about it! LOL. Celebrate is a mixture of red, blue and silver micro glitters and hexes. This is overtop Avon Midnight Plum.

Cookies and Cream

I love black glitters - I currently have Wet n Wild Tangled in my Web and LA Girls glitter Uninhibited. Since I only own the two, I thought I'd do a quick comparison, using Kleancolor White as the base.

TIMW is a clear base with black hex glitter, whereas Uninhibited has black micro glitter with black hexes. Once I swatched Uninhibited over white, it instantly reminded me of cookies and cream ice cream ☺


So, it turns out the perfect ingredients for a Cookies and Cream manicure are a base of Kleancolor White with one coat of LA Girls Uninhibited. Mmmmmm.

LA Girl Glitter Addict: Celebrate

I so ♥♥♥ this color! I found this puppy at Rite Aid and I just had it get it. It's a mixture of silver, red, pink, teal and blue hex and micro glitters in a clear base. Awesome! and I'll be using this for 4th of July mani for sure. I used Milani Black Cherry as the base. I love the vampy red base with this glitter.



Here's a closeup:

Revlon: Whimsical

After a little mini search, I finally found Revlon Whimsical. As you probably know by now, it's a spot on dupe to Deborah Lippman's Glitter in the Air. Whimsical is a very sheer light blue base with blue and pink hexes and a tiny bit of blue micro glitter.



I had wanted to wear this over a nice light blue, but I actually don't own any! Can you believe that? So I settled for this gray cream from LA Girls. I don't know the name because the label is missing.

LA Girl Glitter Addict colors

I got my LA Girls glitters through Cherry Couture, but I've seen a recent display at Rite Aid. I used Maybelline Express Finish Purple Trend as the base.

Here's Purple Trend by itself. If I ever make a top 10 list, this sucker is going to be on it. I love the vampy purple, but the teal shimmer is what makes it so special. Make sure to click to enlarge the pick.




and this is in order: Flamboyant (copper), Eutopia (purple), Nostalgic (aqua), and Jostle (blue). Each color has small micro glitter and larger hex glitter of the same color in a clear base.

LA Girl Glitter Addict: Uninhibited

I LOVE black glitter! Ever since Wet n Wild's Tangled in my Web came out, so I just had to get Uninhibited. Uninhibited is a mixture is small black micro glitter with larger black hexes mixed together in a clear base. I decided to wear this over Maybelline Express Finish Cool Couture. I really think this color and Purple Trend deserved more attention than they got, they are two of my all time favorite colors!

Please make sure to enlarge the pick so you can see all the awesome shimmer from Cool Couture peeking through the black glitter. I LOVED this combo.


Just in case you wanted to see Cool Couture solo, here is a link to my previous post.

Many Layers

So this mani started with LA Girls Rockstar in Addict, which is a maroon-ish red color with orange-y glass flecks.

Pretty color, but I thought it needed some umph, so I added a layer of LA Girls Rockstar Double Platinum, which is a light charcoal, almost clear jelly base with silver holo glitter:


I didn't care for the combo, so I added a layer of Massini's Slamming Red (Massini and Studio M are the same brand). I adore Slamming Red! Just look at the holo in the bottle. My camera absolutely refuses to capture red polishes properly.


So, Slamming Red is my current NOTD. I just picked up Orly Space Cadet today, so I think I'll be changing my mani soon. As much as I love Slamming Red, I don't think I'll be able to wait to wear Space Cadet, it's so pretty!!!

LA Girls: Copper + Konad

I A D O R E today's notd! The base color is LA Girls in Copper, which has a metallic shine to it:


Than I used Konad plate M57 with Wet n Wild Black Creme:

I love it! I know what mani I'll be wearing when I take my niece to the zoo later in the year, how fun!

I'd never had luck using WnW with the Konad before, but I think the trick was using a new bottle? Whatever it was, it worked perfectly. I'm actually looking forward to using more WnW colors. I've only ever Konaded using black or white (I know, boring, right??)

LA Girls: Rubellite

I picked this one up at a dollar store recently. A little too bright for me IRL...ARGH! Visible nail line...yuck!
