L.A. Colors Goddess (art stamped in Color Club Blue-topia)

L.A. Colors are cheap - we all know that - and not overly unusual. But every so often you run into a supremely amazing one and Goddess is it. At first I wasn't feeling it - looks pretty gold to me. But the glitter drew me in. Micro-glitter paired with hex glitter in a shimmery gold base that went on smooth as butter (albeit a bit on the sheer side) but turned out to be more champagne colored!

The hex glitter has silver holographic shine to it that really cools the gold into a champagne. It took three coats to reach full opacity but I didn't mind as it dries super fast. The finish is not smooth (this is typical with a cheap glitter nail polish), but 2 coats of Color Club top coat fixed that.

I took with flash to catch the glitter - it's simply amazing! This manicure really feels more Christmas season. The blue is Color Club Blue-topia which paints so dark you nearly can't tell it's blue and not black (I DESPISE colors this dark - I don't see the point), but it stamps out insanely amazing!

All in all a win! I don't know if you can purchase this outside the L.A. Colors Modern Glitters set, but the set is only 5.99 and the other glitters are awesome too.

BTW tomorrow is my birthday and I have a lot to show you!

Glitter and fishnets - what could be better?

So a few weeks back my friend over at Constantly Redone texted me to get online because the elusive MASH plates on Amazon had gone live. These sold out within 24 hours by the way, but it appears they are up right now!! At any rate she scored a set and so did I! One of the plates has a fishnet-esque design on it!!! YUM! Soooo here's what happened when another enabler friend brought me six new polishes to play with:

I apologize for the tips - this was 2 days of wear (4 days this mani went with no chips. Here's what's on those nails:
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure "Shall We Dance?' - One generous coat
Stamped m57 from the MASH plate set in black special polish Black Pearl
Topped off with LA Colors Color Craze in Treasure Island
Top coat of choice is seche vite

Review
Let me just talk about Shall We Dance and Treasure Island really quick. The Complete Salon Manicure polishes have the most amazing brush the paints on a perfect coat and the polish itself is this gorgeous sheer pink (takes about 3-4 coats to be opaque). It's a great staple and I can't wait to try some more of their more pigmented polishes in the line. Treasure Island came from the Dollar Tree and has shimmery, turquoise glitter - the finer kind, that paints out evenly and not everly crowded. The base is thinner then jelly and clear and with the application of glitter you can really control the look in that less glitter=one coat and a more covered look=2-3 coats.
