NOTD: China Glaze Blue Year’s Eve + Essence Blue Addicted
ChG Blue Year’s Eve is a dark glass fleck blue. To me its looks like the opposite version of Zoya Charla; at some extremes angles you see a hint of turquoise/gold shimmer from Charla (not evident on the nail). It’s also one of my favorite blues because it doesn’t stain on removal.
This was a perfect base for Essence Blue Addicted, a dark blue jelly packed with micro glitter, silver and green medium hexes. Apprently it’s a perfect dupe for Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe.

NOTD Jan 22nd-24th: Impala Azul Aviador + Impala Paz e Amor (blue and green flakies in a blurple base)
Impala is a brazilian brand of nail polish. I received these from a sweet Flickr user, a fellow nail polish fanatic :)
I now have internet access again, so I won’t be sharing old manis anymore, yay! :D

NOTD (actually, last week) Essie Splash of Grenadine + Ludurana Trovão
Hi guys! sorry it’s been a while since I updated, I started an internship so it’s hard to find time to change manis and take pics as often. But I’ll keep posting, just more randomly :p

NOTD: Love & Beauty (F21) Blue/Multi
A blue with multichromatic shimmer. What’s not to love? :) It flashes gold, pink and green, so pretty. It’s quite sheer though, so you’ll need undies for this one (I used OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui).

This was my first glitter gradient and it was kind of a fail. The base polish (from a local brand named Pamela Grant) is a frosty, streaky and bubbling nightmare. Ugh. Worst polish I’ve ever used. But I don’t have any silvers and I borrowed this one from a friend, so it had to do :C
As far as the gradient itself, I loved it! it’s not so hard to do and looks so pretty. I used a thickish coat of clear np to smooth the glitter and then my topcoat, Orly In A Snap.
Also, I included a swatch of the silver polish alone so you can see how awful it is.
