Icing Pre Game

  I shall start out with the average black creme!

  Now... we add the glitter!

\

  Icing Pre Game.  Very similar to Icing After Party.  I did have a bottle comparison photo of them, but I can't find it :(.  Oops.  But they both have shards, just some different colors.

  I'm not a hundred percent sure whether some of these pictures have matte top coat on them or not.  But it really doesn't matter.

  Over Wet n Wild Black Creme.

Happy shredding,

Zoya Ali and Love and Beauty Pink Speckled Glitter and Pure ICE Don't You Wish

  Hello peoples!  I am sorry to photobomb you later in this post but I couldn't choose many good pictures so I just included a ton of them :P.
  While I was shopping at a random mall last weekend, I came across this at the huge Forever 21 that they have there.  Like my local one is big, but this one is like four times the size of mine.  Mega.  And in there I found THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  In real life, it looks like OPI I Lily Love You, or this if you see it.  It looks rediculously close to it, but the Love and Beauty one has less flakies and more iridescent glitter.  But it is still close!  I only got it because I was so angry that I missed out on the OPI one.  This was a nice, (so much) cheap(-er) alternitive.  But my bottle is THICKKKKKKK and I wish I had known that.  The brush was all wonky too but I could still deal with it.
  I didn't want to go all amazing that fast so I started out layering it over Zoya Ali, a medium-ish neon-ish pink.  A pink that I can kiiiiinda deal with.
  And as an accent nail, I put two layers of Pure ICE Don't You Wish (which is the same concept as CG Fairy Dust but not the same thing (bigger glitter in DYW, more colorful, smaller and more holo in FD)).
  So onto the pictures!

L to R: flakies, flakies, Pure ICE glitter, flakies.

There's my flakies!

Flash, not NEARLY color accurate

To show the differene

Probably the most color accurate one but not quite right...

Too dark

  It is a solid mani.  I did this on Saturday and as of today, Wednesday, I still have it almost perfect.  Just a few chips on the edges of nails and my left pointer finger's one completely popped off.  But it LASTS!!!!

  Again, sorry to photobomb you.  Just had to do it.

  Oh, and while I was at that mall, I also picked up Icing Pre Game (this is Icing After Party but in my eyes it looks like the same thing, my bottle must have been mislabled cuz I have never seen Icing Pre Game), Icing Rockstar From Mars (to complete my Charlie Sheen collection), and Icing Birthday Beyotch (another DL similar thingy).

Happy flakie-ing,

Icing Epic Winning Reswatch

  To end my basketball season with a bang, I needed something.  Something... lucky.  Because even though we made it to the championship game, it was a team we lost to by one point (twice).  One shot could've made a difference in those games but whatever.  So I needed something... winning.  Enter Epic Winning :).

Shade and light.

Me loves me some holo glitter.

Love it in shade too.

  Like before, it was a pain in the ass to apply.  Like thick and ewww but it looks SOO cool.  Worth it :).  Only two coats this time.

  We did lose the game (by one point, shocker), but it was a hard fought game.  We had a really good team and we played hard.  Personally, I'll take second place any day.

Happy glittering,

Em

Icing Epic Winning

  Doesn't everyone remember this guy?  I sure do...

Charlie Sheen! (photo from Google Images)

  Well if you aren't in the loop then you don't know that Icing has three nail polishes named after him; Epic Winning, Tiger's Blood, and Rockstar From Mars.  I didn't pick up the last one though.

  But I was going to a mall that has an Icing in it (I was so excited!) because the closest one to me is 45 minutes away.  I had seen Epic Winning on the shelf and eventually decided to get it when I hadn't seen Tiger's Blood which was my main objective.  But at the register there were a few bottles of Tiger's Blood and I was like OMG it was just sitting there waiting for me!  Eek!!!

  Without more chattering, here is Epic Winning (and it actually wins epically).

Bam!

Three coats glitter, one top coat.

Love in a bottle...

Pointer, middle, and pinky all have one coat of a blue and (I think) only one coat of Epic Winning.
Ring finger has one coat of black and (I think) only one coat of Epic Winning.
I am in love with it over black.

Gah!!!!

  There you have it, one of my new favorite loves.  It is a thiiiiiiick glitter but the result is well worth the difficult application and the icky brush (I hate it!  Too big!) and the rip-off bottle (exactly like China Glaze's).

  Sigh...

Happy winning,
