BB Couture Dragon's Breath

This is 3 coats of BB Couture Dragon's Breath. Man it's gorgeous! Dragon's Breath is the number one selling purple on Overall Beauty and I can see why. It's a very unique plum jelly with super fine silver glitter. Great formula too. I say this is a must have for any purple lover, maybe any polish lover period!

I won this polish from the lovely Audrey of Le Vernis Chocolat. Audrey sadly just announced that she will be leaving the blogging world for health reasons. Go wish this classy lady a fond farewell if you haven't already done so.

Zoya Julieanne

Zoya Julieanne is another winner from their fall Wicked Collection. If you read my blog, you'll know that I'm not a fan of colors that look black or almost black most of the time. Unlike Wet n Wild Night Prowl, Julieanne passed that test even though it has a charcoal or black base and dark dusty purple glitter. The glitter in the Zoya is much more dense and I think that makes the difference.

Here are my overall thoughts on both of Zoya's fall collections, Wicked & Wonderful.

Wet N Wild Night Prowl

Here's another Wet N Wild that looks amazing in the sunshine! Wet N Wild Night Prowl is a black jelly with purple glitter. It's a fabulous polish for your money if you like dark polishes. I'm not a big fan of polishes that look black most the time indoors though and this one falls into this category. Thanks to Beautopia for sending me this one when I won a giveaway a while back!

OPI Absolutely Alice

I won OPI Absolutely Alice from The Lacquer Lady. It's a gorgeous polish, dense blue glitter in a clear base with a sprinkling of gold glitter thrown in too. It takes three coats for opacity, which is not bad at all for a clear based glitter. While this is lovely, I just couldn't see mysellf wearing it again so I already passed it on to a new loving home.

I'm still way too sad to talk about the World Cup today. I started looking up players and teared up again. I'll try again tomorrow.

OPI Up Front & Personal

I won OPI Up Front & Personal from the Lacquer Lady's giveaway. It's a lovely champagne foil/glitter color. 4 coats. Still sheer but very pretty.

Woohoo USA!!!!! That was a very stressful game! So glad we made it through even though we had not one but TWO disallowed goals this cup that should have been counted!

Today's World Cup hotties are the Socceroos of Australia who played hard but were eliminated today. Special mention for Harry Kewell who couldn't play today because of a red card & Tim Cahill who was today's man of the match.

Barry M Silver Sea

This is my first Barry M polish; I won it from Simone of Give the Jew Girl Toys. She does all sorts of amazing things with her eyeshadow! Barry M Silver Sea is a gorgeous turquoise jelly with silver glitter!

You can really see the glitter in these next two shots. This is 3 coats, easy application. Even though this is lovely, I probably won't wear it again. I still don't like turquoise on my nails for some reason.

Isadora Sapphire & Layering With Sinful Hottie

This is 2 coats of Isadora Sapphire. It looks very pretty in the bottle but it just ended up looking like a black creme on my nails most of the time. Nice application but this one isn't making it into my polish rotation.

I put one coat of Sinful Hottie over this manicure and it looks gorgeous! If you like glitter, you must get Sinful Hottie! You can see it layered over China Glaze Adore here.

China Glaze Adore & Layering

This is 2 coats of China Glaze Adore from their Romantique Spring 2009 Collection. I don't like having turquoise nails for reasons that I can't fathom. It's one of my favorite colors, but every time I use a turquoise polish, I want to take it off. I have no explanation at this time.
Anyway, even though it won't be going into my regular rotation, China Glaze Adore is still a definite keeper for Konad and nail art!
I haven't experimented with layering, probably because Ashley & I have very few glitter polishes, just not usually our thing. I do love Sinful Hottie though and I thought it might look cool over China Glaze Adore. I used one coat of Sinful and the results are magical! I even wore this one for two whole days.



It reminds me of the ocean in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, where I lived for four months several years ago.

Charlotte Russe Unamed (Mettalic)

This polish says metallic on the label and I originally thought that was it's name. I figured out today that is just a category of Charlotte Russe polishes. They have a few labeled Metallic, a few labeled Chunky Glitter and another category that I can't remember right now. Anyway, this unamed polish is lovely! Charcoal with very fine holographic glitter. This one never looks black in any light and you can always see some of that holo glitter! Opaque in two, easily applied coats. Nothing special about the bottle or brush, but no complaints either. I didn't even know that Charlotte Russe carried nail polish; I picked this up on whim while helping Ashley shop for a New Year's Eve outfit. I say it was a good purchase at $3.50. Fairly unique and very wearable. I really want to pick up a bottle of their Jade color after seeing it on Polish Up's blog.

Sinful Colors - Hottie

This is a polish April bought, but couldn't wear because of her stained nails.
She had me put it on to see what it looked like. I'm not a big fan of glitters. It was fun while I was wearing it though.
This is three coats and was very easy to apply.
It's a cornflower blue base with pastel blue, pink and green glitter that flashes silver.
April is anxiously awaiting the day when her nails are no longer stained so she can wear Sinful Colors Hottie!

Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers - Black Magic

Just a quick post to let you know that the Wet n Wild Halloween displays are here! There is an orange/gold glitter, a red shimmer, a black creme ( I think), a white glow in the dark and the one I chose, Black Magic. This is my first bar glitter polish and I'm not sure what I think. The bottles are super cute with little R.I.P. tombstones for caps. Black Magic is a clear base with multi-color small bar glitter. Green, gold, red, blue, orange
and purple from what I can tell. not sure if there are any new colors or if they are all repeats like Black Magic.
