Fiiiiinally! A new post!

So I (along with many people, I’m assuming) am so obsessed with the mint color this Spring! This color is called “Aphrodisiac” & it’s by Wonder Beauty Products (you can find her collection on Etsy here). With her collection, you basically receive a little palette/kit that includes a jar with the main color, a bottle of clear coat, and a mixing stick. You have to constantly mix the color in order to get the glitters around evenly, and I literally had to mix before applying each layer. It takes a bit of time, but I like that I can get the glitters mixed evenly and apply it well. You also have to use the brush of the clear coat to apply the color, so it was a bit of a hassle to clean the brush every time I had to put it back in the clear coat bottle. It’s a lot more work than your normal nail polish bottle, but the color was just so damn cute; I had to get it! The best part is that each palette only costs $10 each, and she even accepts custom orders! I think I may have to request a color of my own. :)

Overall, I loved the results. A gorgeous mint with gold & silver hex glitters & gold, silver & green micro glitters. The base mint color is not too bright/neon, and not too light, which is the perfect green for me. Lovesssss it.

Can’t ever say no to floral!

I got my spring nails on! This was really fun to do. Three of the colors I used were Forever 21’s Love & Beauty polishes (Lavender, Grey & Nude; $2.50 each!). The pastel blue is Essie’s Sag Harbor. They are really pretty polishes & all have a shimmer to them. I used OPI’s Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees for stamping with Konad plate m64.

Deborah Lippmann - Glitter in the Air

This is new from her Spring 2011 collection. It’s a sheer light-blue/cream with blue & pink hexa glitters along with small pink, blue, & silver glitters! Very spring-like, I really love this one a lot (& I usually never like sheers). I put my base first, and used 3 coats of Glitter in the Air.
