Neon Leopard

Hi there!

I decided I wanted to match my outfit today, so I added a leopard print to yesterday's manicure...

My nails painted with Orly - Glowstick and
China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy.
Stamped with Konad M57.

I used Konad's special black polish to stamp the print and then I topped it with a coat of Seche Vite.

Now this is what I call a fun manicure! What do you think?

Until next time...

Highlighter Explosion

Hi there!

It's been dreary outside lately where I live, so I figured why not offset the weather with a bright manicure!? ...

My nails painted with Orly - Glowstick and
China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy.

I painted 1 coat of OPI's Alpine Snow before sponging with Glowstick and Flip Flop Fantasy. I topped it with a coat of Seche Vite to achieve what's pictured.

What comforts you on a stormy day?

Until next time...

Happy Birthday to Me

Hi there!

Today is my Birthday, and the is the manicure I'm rocking...

My nails painted with Color Club - Beyond and Halo-Graphic.
Holographic water marble manicure.

I painted 1 coat of Halo-Graphic and then I water marbled with both colors. Once I cleaned up around my cuticles, I added a coat of Seche Vite.

I can't help but be happy by this manicure and I can only hope the rest of my day is as awesome as it's been thus far :-)

Cheers to another year!

Until next time...

BadAss Polish - Copper Waters

Hi there!

Today I'm wearing another fine glitter polish from BadAss Polish...

My nails painted with BadAss Polish - Copper Waters.

I painted 1 coat of China Glaze's Aquadelic as a base for this manicure. Then I painted 2 coats of Copper Waters on all but my ring finger, where I painted only 1 coat. I topped this manicure with a coat of Seche Vite to achieve what's pictured.

The mixture of finely milled copper and blue glitter set in a clear base applied easily. However, much like Chocolate Covered Cherry, I don't recommend wearing a base polish if you intend on building this glitter to opacity... it isn't needed, and a base makes it slightly more difficult to polish near the cuticles.

If you're interested in getting your hands on a bottle of Copper Waters, it isn't in BadAss Polish's shop just yet, but you can check them out on facebook for updates on its release.

Until next time...

Spring Swirls Water Marble

Hi there!

Here's a quick look at my current manicure...

My nails painted with China Glaze - Lemon Fizz and Sinful Colors - Verbena.
Spring water marble manicure.

I painted 1 coat of Lemon Fizz before marbling with both Lemon Fizz and Verbena. I topped this manicure with a coat of Seche Vite, and I'm quite pleased how it turned out. The 2 polishes worked very well together in the water!

Until next time...

BadAss Polish - Chocolate Covered Cherry

Hi there!

I've only recently found myself enjoying glitter polishes, and this one surely made me confident in my decision to start giving them more of a chance...

My  nails painted with BadAss Polish - Chocolate Covered Cherry.

I painted 3 coats and added a coat of Seche Vite to achieve what's pictured. Chocolate Covered Cherry is a finely milled mix of bronze and pink holographic glitter in a clear base.

Chocolate Covered Cherry is buildable, but, of course, it can be worn layered over another polish...

I painted 1 coat of Annette before layering 1 coat of Chocolate Covered Cherry over the top. I didn't use a top coat in this picture.

If you choose to wear Chocolate Covered Cherry as I did in my first 2 pictures, I recommend not wearing a base color (unless it's a darker base that matches the glitter). The picture of it layered over a base color was actually my first time wearing Chocolate Covered Cherry. After seeing what it looked like with 1 coat, I wanted to see how it would look full coverage. I found that it was kind of difficult to get the glitter to cover all of my base color- especially close to my cuticles. I removed it all and tried a second manicure without a base color, and I think it turned out beautifully.

Is Chocolate Covered Cherry something you would wear? Would you wear it by itself, or layered over another polish?

Chocolate Covered Cherry, along with many other great glitter polishes, can be found on Etsy. If you'd like to follow BadAss Polish on facebook, click here.
