Orly Fowl Play is part of Orly's Birds of a Feather Collection for Holiday 2011. It is a deep plum shade of purple, and is a jelly polish with flakies and blue glitter. It is a very unique shade and the flakies make it extra special. The flakies looks to me to be an iridescent coral, gold, and red depending on the viewing angle. I used three coats in the swatches, and the polish has a smooth finish. Orly polishes retail for 8.99 at Sally Beauty Supply.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-37702410196425307472011-10-26T20:34:00.000-07:002011-10-26T20:34:05.078-07:00Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Black Magic<br />

I am sure you have seen plenty of swatches of these cute polishes. But I had to at least cover one of the adorably bottled polishes here. Black Magic is a black cream polish with orange and silver glitter. The brush wasn't the best but it applied fine. The swatches are two coats. These polishes retail for $2.99 at drugstores, and I have also seen them at Meijer.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

Nubar Antiquity Silver is a silver glitter with small silver flakie glitter packed in a clear base. The first two swatches are three coats. It is sheer with three coats but pretty if you like to wear sheer polish, or a french manicure. The bottom swatches are one coat over a black cream polish. The application and finish of this glitter polish is smooth. The retail price is $7.49.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-39159804374006072832011-10-24T20:16:00.000-07:002012-02-18T23:25:32.854-08:00Kleancolor Golden Nightmare<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kleancolor Golden Nightmare is an opaque black cream with golden glitter. This color is so pretty. There are small round, and slightly larger irregular gold glitter that makes it look almost like a flakie. The swatches are only one coat and the application formula and brush were great. The think the bottle is cute too. The finish has a slightly gritty feel so a topcoat would make it completely smooth. Kleancolor prices vary depending on where you find them starting from $1.00 to $3.99.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-31817269187641950112011-10-22T22:23:00.000-07:002011-10-22T23:35:06.602-07:00China Glaze Cross Iron<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

streaky. I used two coats for opaque coverage. It is a good orange polish for the fall season. I keep buying orange polishes for some reason. I haven't found the perfect one for me yet so the search continues. Cross Iron retails for $5.99.</div>bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-57953388659507291912011-10-18T20:16:00.000-07:002011-10-18T20:16:26.041-07:00Halloween Blood Splatter Manicure 2 : Konad<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have had my Konad kit for a few months but this was my first time using it. I was a little intimidated by the process but it is as easy as everyone says it is and I am hooked. I want to do another Konad manicure already. This splatter manicure is much cleaner and neater looking that the straw method. It just depends on the look you are going for. This is definitely a friendlier prettier version. I used Konad plate M21. I mixed a tiny amount of Konad Black special polish mixed with Zoya Sooki to create the blood splatter color. I used this over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White Out. I put my topcoat on a little early but a little smear with a bloody look is alright. This was a fun easy manicure that can be done in any variety of colors.<br />

I couldn't wait to try a blood splatter manicure for the Halloween season. The first method I tried was the fun, but messy straw method. I thought using this technique over natural nails would make the look more gritty and gruesome, but a white base would offer more contrast. I will probably try to add more splatter the next time I do this manicure. Taping fingers is a must for this mani. Finding a realistic blood red polish shade was harder than I thought it would be. Many of the polishes that looked to be a good blood red shade in the bottle came off very pink on the nail. I used China Glaze Ravishing, Dahling for the blood in this manicure and it worked great. I dipped a drinking straw into the bottle and after a couple of test blows I was on my way. The blows through the straw should be short and strong. I waited about twenty minutes before applying Seche Vite top coat to avoid smearing.<br />

I finally got my hands on a black linear holo. Thanks to reading all of the helpful blogs out there and learning Glitter Gal polish was finally available in the U.S. at a few e-shops. This Glitter Gal polish can be fully opaque in one thick coat. I used two coats for the above swatches. The holographic effect is unfortunately lessened with the use of a topcoat. Also the bottle is so small at 0.30 oz. I could barely hold it for the pictures. The above swatches are with indoor lighting and no topcoat. The holographic effect also increased with the level of lighting and will be at its fullest sparkle in the sunlight.<br />

Fright Night Claw Polish in Voodoo is a medium/deep red polish with red shimmer. The application and brush were fine. I used three coats and there was still slight visible nail line. I found this polish in the seasonal section of Meijer for $1.99.<br />
<br />
I added one coat of Wet n Wild Behind Closed Doors from the On the Prowl Collection. It is a red glitter polish with red hexagonal glitter in a sheer black base. The black base darkens the red polish to a deep blood red shade perfect for Halloween. Behind Closed Doors is limited edition for $1.99 at CVS.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-35009245624643753372011-10-08T20:02:00.000-07:002011-10-16T12:04:44.881-07:00Giveaway: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Halloween 2011 (CLOSED)Thanks to all that entered.

Silver Galaxy was my favorite of these four polishes. It creates a silver and black 3d effect, with silver glitter throughout. It is interesting that the magnetic quality doesn't disturb the glitter and it is evenly dispersed.</div>

Blue Grey Flow creates a silver/gray, and blue/black 3d effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
These polishes are so fun to apply, and the look of the 3d effect is definitely better in person. There is a line on the cap that is a good guide for how you want your design to appear. Hold the cap with the line horizontally across the nail bed for horizontal lines, or angle it slightly for the diagonal look. I used one coat on all of the nails, and then on the second coat applied the magnet for about 10 seconds to each nail as close as I could get it without touching. It may seem intimidating at first, but the process actually goes by quickly. If the design isn't as you wished just polish another layer on the nail and try again. That worked great for me. <br />
<br />
I purchased these from <a href="http://www.aveyou.com/laylamagneffectnailpolish.aspx">AVEYOU</a>. The retail price is $15.50 per polish, but remember to check for coupon codes online. I also received a cute mini tote bag with my purchase. This is definitely a fun new trend in polish that I am glad I could try.<br />

I have worn this layering combo a few times now, and it reminds me so much of last year's Orly Cosmic FX, and this years Orly Mineral FX Collection. There is a duochrome shimmer and super sparkle quality that makes this my own personal teal addition to the FX collection polishes I own.<br />
<br />
The combo is one coat of Rescue Beauty Lounge Teal then a coat of Wet 'n Wild Blue Wants to Be a Millionaire, topped with Jesse's Girl Firefly. Any cream polish in any color of your choosing would work for the base color. I like how the holographic shimmer in Blue Wants to be a Millionaire peeks through the duochrome shimmer of Firefly. Blue Wants to be a Millionaire's sky blue base is very sheer on the first coat and doesn't change the color of the base polish. Firefly is a sheer green/gold shimmer polish that is great for layering. This combo also wears about a week without chipping for me. The swatches are with Seche Vite top coat.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />

Rock Solid is a sparkly gray shimmer polish, with holographic glitter. It is my favorite out of the collection. As with any holographic glitter, the sparkle is hard to photograph. The swatches are three coats.<br />

Rock the World, I honestly dont know how to describe this color. For sure it is a shimmery duochrome with gold. But the main color is a mauve, reddish, fuschia, magenta, type color. It is fascinating none the less.<br />
<br />
The Orly FX Collections polishes are all so sparkly and shimmery, and if you see one in your favorite color pick it up if you can. They all need three coats for me to reach full opacity, but are a joy to look at and wear. These are available at Sally Beauty Supply at a retail price of $8.99.</div>

A sky blue polish full of sky blue and silver glitter, with silver hexagonal glitter. The application was smooth. I used three thin coats for the swatches. The finish is gritty and a thick topcoat would help.<br />

An iridescent hexagonal glitter, with silver moon glitters in a clear/gray base. Unfortunately, as with many cute chunky glitters, the moons and glitter are very hard to get to with the brush. I managed to get one moon per nail. Actually the effect is cute, and the finish is satin.<br />
<br />
All of the brushes were surprisingly good, and made for easy application. There were bins full of all different colors of glitters, and glow in the dark polishes. I found these polishes at Meijer in the seasonal section for a retail price of $2.49 each.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-48012618505998870212011-09-20T20:30:00.000-07:002011-09-22T18:28:09.178-07:00Fun Halloween Flakie FindI found this flakie polish in the seasonal section of Meijer Grocery store.

This polish doesn't have a name included, the sticker on the bottom reads Chunky Nail, but so did most of the other glitters in the collection I purchased. The base is a sheer purple jelly, and the swatches are two coats over a purple creme polish. The base contains flakie and regular glitter that has a purple, blue, and teal shift! The flakie glitter is also iridescent. The polish was slightly thick and the flakie glitter was sparse with the first coat. The second coat seemed to add plenty of flakies. To top it all off, the retail price is only $2.49.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-83405737324477344222011-09-15T19:12:00.000-07:002011-09-15T19:12:06.685-07:00Ozotic Pro Elytra 529<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ozotic Pro is an Australlian brand, and their offering Elytra 529, is a multichromatic glitter topcoat. It is suggested to use layered over a black polish. The swatches above are two coats over a black polish. The multichrome flashes primarily navy blue and purple. At angles plum, copper, blue and violet are noticeable. The finish and application is smooth. The polish is darker and less multichromatic than Elytra 528, but still unique and beautiful. I purchased this polish from <a href="http://www.picturepolish.com.au/index.php?cPath=38&osCsid=g2kcmjh5ijt9lnnr9jfp7itlr2">Picture Polish</a>. At the current time their shipping to the U.S. has changed, and the price is very high. There are a few websites in the U.S. that I just learned sell these polishes and other Ozotic Pro shades.

China Glaze Haunting is another offering in the Halloween 2011 collection. The swatches are two coats. The color is a black cream full of silver glitter. The glitter isn't overwhelmed by the black polish as with some black polishes with glitter. The polish applied smoothly, and the removal was slightly messy. I thought I owned a color like this but none of them showcase the silver glitter, as this polish does. Haunting sells for a retail price of $5.99 at Sally Beauty Supply.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-11612901183066815062011-09-07T19:25:00.000-07:002011-09-07T19:25:24.101-07:00Glitter Week : Icing's Tiger's Blood and Epic WinningWarning!

China Glaze Luna has a bluish silver base, and is a frosty finish glitter polish. It is full of holographic circle and silver glitter. The finish needed a heavy topcoat, and the glitter made for a messy removal.<br />

Pure Ice Crackle is another drugstore version of the crackle polishes we have all come to love or loathe. There is a wide range of colors and textures available in the Pure Ice range. I saw these at Walgreens, and the variety of colors different from those I already own, attracted me to try at least one. So I chose the yellow shimmer, called Catwalk. I had problems deciding between that and a murky green cream crackle. <br />
<br />
Catwalk, a yellow shimmer crackle, applies smoothly and is similar in texture, finish and application to OPI Shatters. The shatter pattern appeared nicely and application was a much easier process than my previous drugstore crackle experience with Sally Hansen Crackle. This yellow shimmer dries matte. I added a topcoat in the above swatches. You might notice in the enlarged clickable version of the pictures, that there is an almost imperceptible rainbow shimmer hidden in the yellow that is so pretty. It gives this polish a little extra pizzazz. I used the crackle over Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Blackout. Blackout is also available at Walgreens, and is a fast drying, opaque black cream polish. I only needed one coat for full opaque coverage.<br />
<br />
Pure Ice Crackle is a great choice for those who like crackle polish at a great price. It is available at Walgreens at a retail price of $3.99.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921847067778741935.post-6098358979102940982011-09-01T06:05:00.000-07:002011-09-01T06:05:08.032-07:00China Glaze Halloween 2011: It's AliveTime to officially start your Halloween shopping, Yeay!<br />

</tbody></table>Tristam is a navy blue scattered holographic polish, two coats.<br />
<br />
Just like many fellow nail polish addicts, I am always on the hunt for new and unique holographic polishes. These offerings from a-england make a great addition to any holo lover's stash. Lady of the Lake is a true royal purple, which is hard to find in holographic polishes. Tristam is also my first navy blue holo. I have searched far and wide for as many blue holos as I can get my hands on. I have only come across sky to medium blue holographic polishes, never a true blue or darker. So I am very happy to own this polish. The swatches above are two coats. The formula is thick, but applies easily and the finish is smooth.<br />
<br />
A-england polishes are available at <a href="http://www.a-england.co.uk/">http://www.a-england.co.uk/</a> at a retail price of 9.00 GBP, or about 14.77 USD. Dollars for 0.4 fl. oz. Shipping to the U.S. is 4.00 GBP approximately 6.56 USD. Word around the Twitterverse is that their next collection will feature a green holo! Keep an eye out on their <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/aenglandtweets">Twitter</a> for more information.bluekatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18190718292783142941noreply@blogger.com0
