40 Great Nail Art Ideas: Glitter or Flake Topper

Press Sample

Happy Saturday! My nephews are here today and we are going to decorate for Christmas so I am super excited! But first I wanted to get a quick post up for my nail art challenge this week. The color theme this week is "glitter or flakie topper" and my pattern was "half and half." I knew I wanted to make it Christmas-themed, but with a twist. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Daphine Polish Sleepy Hollow Trio ♥

Press Sample

I don't know about you but I am so ready for Halloween! I just love Halloween and all the spooky fun and of course Halloween-themed polishes! I have a spooky collection from Daphine Polish for you today based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.  

I love the story behind this collection, as told by Joanne, Creator of Daphine Polish:

I spent most of my childhood in Westchester County, in which Sleepy Hollow is located, so the Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a tale we heard growing up as kids. Sleepy Hollow High School's mascot is even the Headless Horsemen! Today Sleepy Hollow boasts an impressively large historical cemetery, and within it sits the cemetery at the Old Dutch Church that is featured in the Legend. Of course they hold lots of events and tours in the autumn, especially around Halloween! My Halloween trio is inspired by characters in Washington Irving's Legend of Sleepy Hollow, though my goal was to make colors that could be worn year-round.

Pahlish Spam! The Green Light, Dark Paradise and Continually Smoldering ♥

Press Sample

Happy Tuesday! I have some Pahlish spam for you tonight! I took these pics a long time ago and could have sworn that I posted them but I ran across them and discovered I hadn't posted them so here they are!

I am very impressed with the quality and formulas of the Pahlish polishes I have tried so far and these were no exception. The formulas were all great, especially for glitter jellies. They were all opaque in 3 thin or 2 medium coats. I used one coat of Poshe in all the photos.

Darling Diva Polish The Hot Chik - Swatches and Review ♥

Happy Thursday!  I have a super fun and bright glitter to show you today! Darling Diva Polish The Hot Chik is a neon pink explosion! 

The Hot Chik is a mix of neon pink glitters in various shapes and sizes and iridescent glitters in a slightly tinted base.  I tried this over 7 or 8 different colors on a piece of paper and it looked amazing over all of them! I had a really hard time narrowing it down for the post.

Pahlish Inexhaustible Variety - Swatches and Review ♥

Press Sample

How about a gorgeous jelly glitter polish to add some bling to your weekend? Today I have Pahlish Inexhaustible Variety and it took my breath away with how gorgeous it is!

Pahlish Inexhaustible Variety

This one is described by the maker as "Raspberry pink jelly base with dense violet glassflecks and scattered blue and purple iridescent sparks with very sparse holographic microglitter." That's a perfect description! The  blue glitters in this absolutely glow! This polish really is so pretty and my photos do not do it justice at all. It's definitely one of those you need to see in person to appreciate.

Elevation Polish Skittlette! ♥

*Haba Xueshan sent for review

Hello again! I have a super fun "skittlette" mani to show you tonight that I did last week and wore for a couple of days. 

Elevation Polish Skittlette

I first saw the skittlette mani on So Nailicious in a post by Chit Chat Nails (see that post here). I loved it and wanted to try it right away! I love random nail designs but I have a very organized mind so it's hard for me to do ANYTHING random. (My closet may or may not be arranged by color and season/sleeve length. LOL) I found the tutorial very helpful and liked that she showed several different manis to give you an idea of how awesome each and every one can look.
