Snow Bunny sure knows how to Party Hearty!

Hey there, Today I decided to try out "Snow Bunny" by Revlon which is a white pearlescent color. I didn't like it by itself at all. I think mostly because I'm not used to seeing such light colors on  my nails. So, I decided to put some "Party Hearty" by China Glaze over top of it to give it some pizazz. I think it turned out quite well considering Christmas is near. I used Seche Vite base coat, 2 coats of "Snow Bunny", 2 coats of "Party Hearty" &, Seche Vite top coat.

Ruby Pumps by China Glaze

This polish is thus far the best Red Glitter polish I have tried out. It is called "Ruby Pumps" by China Glaze & only took 2 coats for full opacity! It may be a jelly glitter but, am still unsure at this point. This polish is absolutely gorgeous & perfect for this Holiday Season. I personally can't stop starring at my nails! I give it an A+.

"Apolo" by Hits Speciallità No Olimpo

This is a holographic polish in blue. It is from Brazil but, I was able to get my grubby little hands on it online!  It is called "Apolo" from the Hits No Olimpo collection. Thus far it is the most gorgeous, amazing polish I own. It was a tad thick when I received it so, I just added some nail thinner to it until I was happy with it's consistency. I also bought another color in red but, found that consistency was fine... could have just been out of the ordinary. I will be swatching / wearing that one soon.  I have to say I was quite shocked when I put it on... in my room with the lights on I see the holo effect right away & didn't need sun in order to see it. Quite fascinating! A have had it on for a few days & still no chips. I applied 2 coats but, could have gotten away with 1. I also used Seche Vite base & top coat & noticed NO dulling of color. I would most definitely recommend this polish & hope to get more in the near future! :o)

"Ring in the Red" by China Glaze

This is a red jelly glitter polish from the "Santa's Little Helpers" collection by China Glaze & it's called " Ring in the Red".  I really like this polish but, I do tend to be a little harsh on my ratings... having said that, I feel this polish could use a nice red underneath. 

I applied Seche Vite base & top coat as usual. It took 3 coats to accomplish this opacity. It is still very pretty but, almost everything has room for improvement. :o)

OPI - It's My Year

This is "It's My Year" by OPI. It is a shimmery light purple with gold micro glitter from the "Miss Universe Collection" in 2011. In these images I am wearing Seche Vite base & top coats along with 2 coats of "It's My Year".  It applied very nicely. I know this is a wonderful polish & most of you will like it but, I think it needs something more... to be better than it is. Maybe if I used it over a nice red or black... or even purple. I'll have to try that out some day.

Hard Candy - Fabuluxe

This color is called "Fabuluxe" by Hard Candy. It is a pink glitter that applies opaque in 1 to 2 coats.  I like this color a lot but, should explore more options by placing it over other colors.  I would give this polish a 7 because it does chip quickly as most glitter polishes.
