 Pumpkin Pie is a holo, it was very cloudy that day so I could not get a great shot of it. This is in day light. I promise the holo is really there though.

Glitter Sandwich

Today I have a glitter sandwich to share.

To get this look I first started with a foundation color of Julep "Cassie" I followed this with one coat of Polish Me Silly "Snow Angel" and then topped it off with two coats of Julep "Carol" to get the jelly finish effect. 

Polish Me Silly was previously known as Lush Lacquer.

Here is a shot of Julep "Cassie" by itself.

Orly Secret Society

Today I have my picks from Orly's Secret Society collection for Holiday 2013.
 Voyeuristic  Adventure- this is two coats on its own. This polish is such a soft, cool toned gold. 

 Lavish Bash- this is two coats over Voyeuristic Adventure. This glitter consists of fine grain gold glitter as well as small circular and bar holographic glitter. 

Whats The Password?- this is a metallic orange with gold shimmer. I am in love with this polish. I received many compliments while wearing this.

Macabre Mascaraed- This is an awful photo. Haha. This polish is incredibly hard to photograph. In person it is a beauty that is made to impress. The base color is a deep royal blue with multicolored small glitter pieces. 

Masked Ceremony- This is two coats over black. It is difficult to get those fuchsia glitter pieces to show up.

Subtle Glitter Gradient

For this look I used China Glaze "Gold Digger" and "Hello, Gorgeous." In order to achieve this look, paint your nails with a polish that will be your foundation color. For me, the foundation polish was the gold glitter. Next, rip off a piece of a make up sponge and dip it into your gradient polish. This is best done using a small piece of the sponge and handling it with a pair of tweezers. When first applying the gradient polish you will want to dab off any of the access polish to ensure that it will not over power the foundation polish. Go over your nails as many times as needed to achieve the desired effect by moving further down your nail with each coat.
