More Christmas Konads

As the title suggests, more Christmas manis. Only three more sleeps!!

My favourite Dare to Wear Enchanted Forest konded with BM203 and China Glaze 2030. This wasn't my favourite mani. The konad didn't come out straight and there wasn't enough contrast between the green and gold so it just looked muddy. Ehhh...

Essie Red Nouveau konaded on white with plate M57. Yay lace! Lots of smudginess... but it looked pretty cool anyway. Reminded me of those winter jumpers people wear.

Zoya Blair and Nubar Greener. Konaded with BM20 and China Glaze OMG. This mani has received so many compliments. I loved it too. Wore this for three days straight. I think it would've been even better if I used Nfu-Oh 61 instead of OMG. There would've been mooarr rainbow action!


I hope everyone is enjoying their countdown to The Big Day!

Green Spam

One bite sized helping of Green coming right up!

Nabi Metalic Green. Besides the obvious spelling error, this is gorgeous. Sent to me by a wonderful friend who just knew I'd love it!

Color Club Twiggy. An almost-neon light green creme. It's a little more "lime" IRL than my picture shows. The formula was smooth and lovely.

China Glaze Emerald Sparkle. I can never get good pictures of this. It's too sparkly!

Color Club Object of Envy over ummm.... I forgot..... maybe Don't Mess With OPI? I don't know. I remember doing this mani to try and talk myself out of getting this Hits polish.

Dare to Wear Enchanted Forest. Have I posted this before? It's one of my all time favourite green cremes! All dark and murky... I love it.

Nailart & Mehr Flaschengrun. I saw this on More Nail Polish a while back. It's an in-house brand from an Austrian company called Nailart & Mehr. I do so love magnetic polish. I think this diagonal stripe design is my favourite.

Savvy Garland. I now have two bottles of this thanks to my friends! A wonderful blackened green shimmer. These Savvy bottles are amazing and heavy. Love the thick glass on the bottom.

Lynnderella All Hallows' Eve

So what can I say about this... it's dark, it's green, it's chock full of crazy glitter and... it has my heart. One coat over two of Dare to Wear Enchanted Forest which is amazing in it's own right.

As you can see, I'm nubbinising to the extreme (as in, more than usual lol) to try and get rid of all the gross peely tips that keep appearing. Luckily for me, I enjoy short nails so I'm not too upset. I am a little bummed though. I want healthy nails dammit!

There's black, gold and multiple shades of green glitter some of which are holo. Different shapes. Different sizes. Complex to the extreme. I mean, even the sparkling base is complex! There's shimmer and a couple sizes of really tiny, sparkly microglitter.

*sobs* It's like... something from my dreams. So perfect.

Some Red Spam

Reds can be so overdone but they are so very sexy! I know some people have trouble finding reds that suit their skin tone (kittytokaren!!) but I don't think I've ever met a red that has looked "off" on me. I've met some I didn't like, but never one that didn't suit my skin tone. Here are just a few I enjoy...

China Glaze Phat Santa. Love the name, love the colour. It's slightly jelly-ish.

Here it is with a coat of Dare to Wear Disco Ball sandwiched between. I loved this mani.

BB Couture Napa Valley Red. A particularly gorgeous take on the "red glitter in red jelly" polishes. It's a little deeper than others I have but not so deep that it's vampy. Actually, I'm wondering if the formula's changed since my bottle seems much lighter than other pics I've seen.

Chi Chi Va Va Va Voom. I keep wanting to write that as just Va Va Voom with only two Va's. Anyway, it's a bright red with hidden pink shimmer. The shimmer didn't want to come out and play in any of my pics though.

China Glaze Thunderbird. Super glowy metallic red. My camera had a mild freak out trying to capture this one.

Bloom Adelaide AKA Jessica Mauboy I. I heard that Jessica Mauboy I has been discontinued which is a shame since it's one of my favourites. Lots of lovely flaky shimmer.

Reds always apply so nicely, so smooth and opaque. I think it has something to do with the pigment... just like how yellow is always a little troublesome. Sometimes, at moments like this, I even understand why Suzi seems to love them so much.

Dare To Wear Ocean View and China Glaze Golden Enchantment

Ocean View is a beautiful serene blue creme. So calming and pretty to look at...

The formula was very lovely and smooth, opaque in two coats.

And here it is layered with one of my old favourites, China Glaze Golden Enchantment.

Itty bitty gold holo glitterrrrs! :D

Anna Sui 101 and Dare To Wear Techno Beat

I love layering glitters over black. That's usually just the way I prefer to wear them. I'm not sure why.. I think it's because the black base gives the glitter some nice contrast and that way, I can see the individual glitters better. I really like the fine details on things :)

Anna Sui... good god. Not only do they come in the most beautiful and elegant rose bottles, they smell like roses! Talk about making your way into a girls' heart <3

One coat over black

There's so much going on in this polish that my camera wouldn't focus properly to pick up the details. Sorry! 101 is basically lots of small green and electric blue iridescent glitter and also big round blue glitters in a sheer blue base. You don't see those large, round glitters very often. Anna Sui seems to have it in a few of their glitters though.



OK.. now for the Dare To Wear. Here is Techno Beat.

Techno Beat is from Dare To Wear's Disco Tech Glitter Collection and might I just point out, is one of the most awesome collections ever! The whole collection has some of the best glitters ever made. Seriously.

Take a look..

Amazing right? Right?? HOLY SHIZNITS! That is only one coat over black. That is how dense the glitters are in these. Techno Beat is pink holographic glitter in small and large hexes as well as bar glitter all in a sheer pink base. The others in the collection are the same but in different colours.

I took a macro of this one as well.

Pure. WIN.
