Orly SeaGurl from the Birds of a Feather Collection

The formula in the Birds of a Feather Collection is awesome. This is 2 thin coats, but 1 thick coat would be plenty. This didn't chip easily and I like the finish. This is less foil-like than Sweet Peacock and looks a lot like those woodless graphite pencils. It also seems very slightly brown toned. I like it more than I thought I would :) Also excuse the condition of my nails, I had acrylics put on while I was being a client/practise model for someone at our beauty school and took them off on the same day. They aren't too bad but they are peeling from having them removed and buffed down to nothing :)

China Glaze Skyscraper

Skyscraper is a brilliant glitter from the Metro 2011 collection :) all the China Glaze glitters I have tried I have loved. It looks multidimensional because of the different shades of colour, the base is navy and jellyish, and then there is loads of blue and silver glitter. I love the Metro collection, they are all modern and fashionable colours. I want all of them >.<

This was 2 coats no top coat. It did start chipping after a day with OPI Skip Chip and base coat but without top coat, so do use top coat if you want it to last. I'm terrible with glitter, I love it but once it starts chipping I pick it off. >.> *ahem* OPI Burlesque glitters...

Color Club Worth the Risque and Fashion Addict Holos

These pics were taken on a very cloudy day and they still shone :)

Worth the Risque is a very holographic silver, it has a slight blue tone to it making it look very clean. From the Color Club 2009 Femme Fatale collection. It didn't look very holo in the bottle, but once it had dried on my nails it was very nice :)

Fashion Addict is from the Catwalk Queen collection and looks like a light dusty pink, and looks purple in some lights too. The formula for both was 2 coats and went on nicely. They dry a bit more holographic than when wet. I was impressed with them and for a pale person like moi they are nice colours :) I can only imagine how holo they will look in summer here in NZ!

You need Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black!

See how the big holo pieces reflect red, yellow and green even in the shade? Awesome :) This looks great no matter what light you are in, and thats why I love this so much. This is just one coat of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black as well, and it wasn't hard to get the holo pieces out either. It has a brown/black tinted smokey base colour in it so you can layer it over other colours and it will darken them a bit. This is over black, I put this over the Glitter Gal Black holo hoping the holo would show through underneath but you can't see it because of the tinted base. Others have said the smell of Kleancolors puts them off, but it doesn't bother me I guess I'm used to it. It goes away when it is dry anyway :)

I got this and others from BeautyJoint.com and I found they have fast shipping and everything was well wrapped, and these cost $1.75 each. I have had 2 packages from BeautyJoint and nothing was ever damaged or missing, so I will buy from them again :)

Color Club Limelight and L.A. Girl Uninhibited

L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Uninhibited is a black glitter! Love it. It has two different sizes of glitter, big and little hexagons. This is one coat of glitter over 4 coats of Color Club Limelight, a standard neon green. I like this neon and it does dry fast so it is worth it. I was doing air brush makeup all day with this on, which left tonnes of colours and black on my hands and nails, and it stood up to the scrubbing. There is still a little black on one nail that won't scrub off, but I'm really impressed it lasted! So after all that is when these photos were taken. I wore this for 3 days and on the third it chipped once in the shower. Not bad for no top coat and a lot of layers :) I got a huge amount of compliments on this mani, literally over 30. A lot of people thought at first it was black shatter, which would look awesome with neon green too :)

Glitter Gal Black Holographic vs Color Club Revvvolution

Glitter Gal Black Holographic

This is a very holo holo >.< and a good black, not dark grey. The formula is great, needs 2 thin coats, not far from opaque in one coat, just needs to be evened out. The only down side is the bottles are 9mls, but for me I don't remember ever using up a full bottle of anything. I will definately wear this again :) I love it, it's cosmic looking. You can buy this and others from http://www.glittergal.com.au/ 

Color Club Revvvolution

Not as holographic and a lot lighter, and the formula needed 2 - 3 coats. Revvvolution still is an awesome polish but I much prefer the Glitter Gal. In the shade Revvvolution is a charcoal grey colour, and Glitter Gal Black is black, so for me I would rather have black :)



OPI Glam Slam! U.S.

This is the new duo of Serena Williams Glam Slam series, U.S. Pros and Bronze and Love is a Racket

These two are amazing!

Pros and Bronze

This is a layering polish, meant to be layered over Love is a Racket, but looks beautiful on it's own. This is 4 coats, and needs quite a while to dry. It has a strong bronze gold duochrome that almost looks peachy pink and golden yellow. Looks amazing in the light!

Love is a Racket

This is my favourite, a super bright red with pink tones. Looks like a very ripe tomato with a little bit of hot pink :) Formula is great, looks jellyish at one coat and opaque at two. Drys well and lasts too.You could wear it at one coat if you like it a bit see through as it evens out well. The shimmer flakes are bigger than the OPI Burlesque shimmers.

Pros and Bronze over Love is a Racket

And together it makes a beautiful red with gold/bronze duochrome, very shimmery and stunning. This is one coat Pros and Bronze over 2 coats Love is a Racket. I love this set :) I really can't think of any complaints :) perfect! I would love to try Pros and Bronze layered over other colours too - any ideas?
