China Glaze Atlantis- Reswatch

  Hello readers!!  Before I forget to mention this, I will give you a fair warning: THIS POST CONTAINS NUBBINS AND A TON OF PICTURES.  There, I warned you. :)
  Well, we all know about my obsession with China Glaze Atlantis.  Like, I love it.  A lot.  It is one of my favorite polishes of all time (umm, check that top 10 list of mine!).  Let us commence with the load of pictures!

Odd angle?  Lol

  Atlantis is a teal/blue/green/turquoise/idk color.  Yes, I actually have NO IDEA what color to call the base...  But whatever it is, it is semi-opaque (not really a jelly base) and has holographic glitter scattered in it.  This holographic glitter gives it that rainbow effect that we all love in our polishes.  It is Ah-Mah-Zing.  Legit.

  I love love love putting this on and I owe my best friend for getting this for me.  She gave it to me the day the obsession started; the day before my first post ever!!  So, yeah.  It has a special place in my heart :D.

Happy describing,

China Glaze Ulta-mate Holiday

  Okay, this mani was from a WHIIIIIIIILE ago (pictures taken on April 19th to be exact) and I've wanted to share this with you guys since like mid-winter.  But it doesn't look too great on my little nubbins.

  So enjoy this mini golden-holo goodness!!

Happy holoing,

Wet n Wild Black Creme with China Glaze Fairy Dust

  I have already given you this general combo heree but I think that it looks better now, because I got it in natural sunlight.  As I am writing this (April 14th), it is soo warm and will only get warmer :).

Looks like stars in the night sky...

There's the holo!

Shade

Blurred.

  I used a different black (I have been using my Wet n Wilds waaaayyy too much lately) but I still got the same result.  Beautiful application by the Wet n Wild, a little gloppy for the China Glaze one.  Im surprised...

  2 coats of black, 1 coat of glitter.  My usual base + top coats.  LOVE IT.

Happy glittering,

Funky Fingers Baby Baby Baby and Sand and Stilletos

  Hello world!!  A while ago I decided to do an awesome holographic accent manicure and I ended up with a Funky Fingers glitter manicure.  So ta-da!

Macro photo.

Blurred to show holo-ness

:D

  Most of these pictures are from inside of my car after school so thats why there is a weird slanted background in some.

  I think I ended up with two thick coats of each and a coat or two of top coat to smooth it all out.  With my usual base + top coats.

Happy holo-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,

GOSH HOLOGRAPHIC

  Okay, pictures first, then I talk.  And in advance, I apologize for the holographic picture overload that you may or may not endure. ;)  (The better pictures are towards the bottom, with the better camera)

Bottle shot, full sunlight (in summer).

Again.

Three coats of holographic, no top coat.

:O

Win.  Nothing but win.

  Specifics of what I used: 1 coat of base coat (regular, not aqua), 3 coats of color.  No top coat, no special base coats.  It didn't last for long, like 4 days tops.  But OMG to have such a coveted color of such an epic win.  GOSH! (lol)

  Not much to say about this that you can't already see.  If you got it, yay you!  If you haven't, the only places to get it are through ebay ($39 minimum) or a giveaway (how I got mine).

:D

We need more polishes like this.

Double rainbow all the way... Jk

The green shift

Full holo rainbow power!

Last one I promise!

  Again, after wearing it for a second time (and in the middle of winter I dare say), I still love it.  I didn't want to take it off, but after it became the manicure during my breakup, I kinda wanted to.  But you know what sadness means?  More polishes! (4 more to be exact :P)

  So drool all over your keyboard (as long as you clean it up) and try to find a silver holo, depending on where you live it can be easy to find one or pretty damn hard.  Especially for a discontinued European one.  TO SEE A COMPARISON OF SOME SILVER HOLO POLISHES GO HERE!!!

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,

Em
