Catch Up!

Hey guys! I'm so sorry I've been absent this week. It feels weird to not post every day! I've said it in almost every post recently, but the weather here just sucks right now so on the days when I do wear a manicure or want to swatch polishes (which I do have quite a few I need to swatch right now) I just can't take any photos because of the terrible weather.
I have shown a few manicures on Instagram, however. Follow me there for some behind the scenes funsies and manis that I don't always share here. I thought I'd show you some of them today. :) As well as some that may not have been on Instagram. Usually these are more boring manis or colours that I've already shared before.

This is a Mixcoco gel nail polish that I tried recently! I fell in love with it & the concept of gel polish. Beautiful creamy colour. Perfect palate cleanser! I may do a review on the gel polish soon. Let me know if you're interested.

OPI's Every Month is Oktoberfest is one of my favourite dark polishes. It has an amazing glowy shimmer in it which you can see in the flash photo. I don't often wear darks because I just feel like they look strange on me! But for some reason when my nails are round, I like darks? I kept my nails this rounded shape for like, less than 24 hours, FYI. :P I missed my squares too much. I left my right hand rounded, though.

Lime Crime's Milky Ways is a very similar colour to the Mixcoco gel polish I wore! I just think these colours are a nice palate cleanser and are just easy for a quick mani.

My fave neon - China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy! In real life this is super neon and sooo fun! :D Sadly, it chips insanely quickly.

Another neutral. OPI Don't Burst My Bubble is a sheer white with a hint of pink to it. I love this colour, but not so much on me. In this photo it looks fine, but in person it looked a little weird against my skin tone.

That's about all for today! Let me know if you'd like to see these types of posts every so often! Maybe once a month. (By the way, I also now have a Disqus comment system instead of the regular Blogger comment system. It's better IMO because if I reply to a comment, the other person will get a notification email. :))

Glam Polish Glitter Toppers Review

Hi guys! I have some more Glam Polish swatches to share with you today! :) These are all new glitter toppers so they're all in a clear base.

Big Bang Theory
Big Bang Theory is a mix of ALL CIRCLE GLITTERS. :D Circle glitters are just so awesome. There's pink, blue, green, yellow, silver (and probably more colours) circle glitters plus some silver micro glitter. Some of the glitters are holographic too. I was super excited about this polish because I love the Big Bang Theory TV show! :D (Fun fact: when this polish came in the mail I was wearing a Big Bang Theory tshirt!)
I layered 1 coat of Big Bang Theory over Sally Hansen Pacific Blue. It was a little hard to apply, since the circle glitters all wanted to clump together but nothing a little placement and moving the glitters around can't fix. :) The sun only came out long enough for me to snap ONE picture of this in the sun (above) so apologies if it's not a great photo haha.

Lost Your Marbles?
Lost Your Marbles is larger and medium holographic silver circle glitters with silver holographic micro glitter also! This would look good over any colour but I love pairing silver glitters like this with delicate colours.
I layered one dabbed coat of Lost Your Marbles over OPI I Theodora You (plus top coat). I absolutely LOVE this combo! I shall be wearing it again soon! ;)

























Sexy and I Know It
Sexy and I Know It (I work out! :P) is a little similar to Big Bang Theory, it has lots of multicoloured dot glitters and there's also some stars, hearts and diamonds in this one too! This one also has a gold micro glitter. Love it!
I layered 1 coat of Sexy and I Know It over OPI Can't Find My Czechbook (plus top coat). The glitters (in particular the stars) did tend to feel a bit bumpy on the nail, depending on where they were placed on the nail but that's nothing an extra coat of top coat wouldn't have helped.

Vegas Baby
Vegas Baby is an awesome mix of neon glitters as well as white and black in all different shapes and sizes! Glam Polish does neon glitters soo well in my opinion!
I've layered 1 coat of Vegas Baby over Lime Crime Parfait Day (plus top coat). Love this combo too :D This would also look great over a white or white-ish colour. :)
Sorry I don't have any sun photos of this polish, since it's now winter here the sun is always gone. :(

I love Glam Polish as you probably know and these are some of my fave polishes from them I've tried! :) They're all so versatile and could be worn over almost any polish!

Have a great weekend everyone! ♥ (And for most of us in Aus, it's a long weekend, WOOHOO).
