Glam Polish Knockout Collection

Hi Everyone! Today I'm excited to show you a few swatches from the upcoming Glam Polish Knockout Collection. The collection, which releases tomorrow, contains 6 gorgeous holo and ultra holo glitter shades. I've got four beauties to tease you with and I think you're going to love them...

Go Hawks!

Hi Everyone!

Although I must confess that I'm not a football fan by any means, living in Seattle it is difficult not to catch a bit of Superbowl fever. Everywhere I turn, I see blue and neon green and it appears that I've grown quite fond of the color combination. That is precisely why when I sat down to swatch the upcoming Glam Polish Knockout collection, I couldn't help but gravitate toward the lime green and sparkly blue. They are not a exact match for the team color (nor were they intended to be), but never the less, it seemed fitting to create a manicure with the two of them on Superbowl Sunday. Maybe I can fit in around here after all? Go Hawks!

(Side note, I got a new macro lens to play with so please let me know what you think of these photos!!)

Halloween Week: Beakers of Potion...

I guess the scientist in me came out to play for today's manicure. I traded yesterday's cauldrons for some shiny new beakers full of magic potions... a love spell perhaps? or maybe a frog transformation spell? Only time will tell ;)

For the manicure I used:
- Color Club Wicked Sweet Polishes: Gimme a Grape, The Lime Starts Here, Wicked Sweet, and Get Your Lem-on (beaker colors left to right)
- Wet n Wild French White Cream (tips)
- White Acrylic Paint (numbers and marking on the beakers)

Thanks for looking!

Day 4 - Green - Maybelline La La Lime

See how fast my nails grow? It is like magic... ok, so maybe more like slightly cheating because this is a manicure I wore a few weekends ago (pre nail break). When my bf and I went out of town for his birthday I asked him if he had any color requests and much to my surprise it was "lime"... I was happy to oblige, it was his birthday after all, but have not gotten a chance to post about it since we came back. I figured it would be perfect for the 4th day of the challenge which is green.

The color is La La Lime from Maybelline. The formula is nice although needs a pretty quick hand as it starts to dry and get stringy. I applied three coats + a topcoat for full even coverage. It has a gorgeous micro-shimmer when the sunshine hits it...

In the shade...
