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 OPI Guy Meet Gal-veston + Etienne Disco Parisien (glitter polish similar to ChG Techno)
Who would have said, two red manis in a row. So unlike me, I wasn’t at all into red. But I couldn’t resist the squishy-ness of this jelly coral, which was a gift from my DF for my birthday. Here I used it in my first “jelly sandwich” ever :)
Although not obvious on the pics, a thin layer of GMG-V did not dull the holo effect of the glitter, just softened the original silver color of it. Love it <3.

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
