Glittery Divali Mani

I hope you all had a lovely Divali. I did a simple mani since it was a busy day and I didn't have time to do anything elaborate. I also didn't have the time to stop and take pictures of each step so I must apologise for not having pictures of the mani without glitter, etc.

-My base colours were two coats of Sinful Colours' "Aquamarine" and two coats of Sephora by OPI's lovely dark purple polish with subtle magenta flecks called "Who's Spinning Tonight?"
-I painted two coats of Kleancolour's "Chunky Holo Bluebell" over the base colours.

-Both patterns came from Shany's SH20 plate. I used my Konad stamping set and black and white Konad stamping polishes to do the patterns.
-I painted another coat of "Chunky Holo Bluebell" over all my nails, and then added the odd fuchsia glitter dot here and there from Revlon's "Scandalous" polish.
Side note: I bought "Scandalous" just a few days ago and then saw Ashley from Spellbound Nails' post on Revlon's "Facets of Fuchsia polish," which looked exactly the same. Ashley did a little research and realised Revlon re-released "Facets of Fuchsia" as "Scandalous."
-I used top coat as usual to complete the mani.

Happy polishing!

Coral Disco Ball

Hello!

I was anxious to use the items I bought at the Caribbean Nail and Beauty Trade Show and this is what I came up with...

-After applying a base coat, I applied China Glaze's "High Hopes" polish. Coincidentally, I had high hopes for this one but I was very disappointed. The colour is a gorgeous coral but after two relatively thick coats, it still looked streaky (at least it looks smooth in the pictures). In addition to that, something was wrong with this particular bottle since every time I shook it, polish spilled all over the inside of the cap! As much as I love the colour, I don't think I'll be able to use this one again.

-I used FantaSea's diamond-shaped holo glitter pieces for my ring finger. I used a toothpick to pick up each piece of glitter and applied it to the nail while the CG polish was still wet. When the polish got too dry, I applied a tiny bit of clear top coat to the nail so the glitter would stick.

-I used clear top coat to seal the glitter in.

                                               
I love the effect of the glitter pieces. The camera doesn't capture the true beauty of this holo glitter disco ball. Doing this mani is a little time-consuming but the result is worth it.

Happy polishing!
