LA Colors Glitter Gradient

Good Evening!

I hope everyone's Friday was good and your weekend is getting started off properly.  My day was crap, but whatever.  I have the whole weekend to chill out and play with my polish.  Today I wanted to do something...umm, dainty I guess.  I don't really know another word for it besides just "pretty".  I'll show you and you decide what to label it.

This is 3 coats of Pure Ice In the Mood with at least 5 coats of LA Colors Sparkling Diamond.  It was a little difficult for me to dig out and place the larger glitters, but I got it.  So you like?  I really want to use this glitter over Zoya Zara too.  I think that would be awesome.

 I was also playing around with the settings on my camera, so tell me what you think of that too.  Is this photo better than from my last few posts or what?  I think it's way better and more clear.

Nicole by OPI Too Rich For You with L.A.Colors Treasure Island

This is such a late post, but work it kicking my ass.  I'm so tired.  *yawns* Ok so let's get on with what really matters: POLISH!  I swatched this one so long ago and basically forgot about it.  I've had it forever and I wear it all the time and I'll show you why.

Nicole by OPI Too Rich For You is one of my favorite polishes.  First of all, I love any polish that is "almost black".  IRL it doesn't look this colorful.  Second of all...well, I guess there isn't anything else.  It's just beautiful.  It is a sparkly, dark teal gem that really glows from within.  If I remember correctly, this was 3 coats, but it builds up nicely.  You may be able to get away with 2.

I also wanted to see a nice glitter over this so I layered on 2 coats of L.A.Colors Treasure Island.

This looks like a really great start to a Galaxy Mani.  Don't you think?  I've only done it once, but I may have to use these to do it again.  I Treasure Island at Dollar Tree just to see how good it was, but I didn't expect such a gorgeous color from the looks of the bottle.  The bottle looks like one solid color of glitter, but as you can see, there are at least two: turquoise and green.  There may even be some blue.

Ugh all that glitter makes me want to die!  I will for sure be using this again...and again, and again.  LOL!  So again, sorry this is late.  I have to post on my other blog now.  SO TIRED and then work at 9am! ):
