Nail-Venturous- Orange You Unique

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend! I have something to pass buy you guys before I get on to the post. I've been going back and forth with the idea of doing like a "Readers Choice" day where I will have a poll going for a week with multiple polishes listed. Then on said day, whatever polish wins will be what I do my post on. What do you guys think? I would like to be a bit more involved with everyone and that's what I came up with! Yay or Nay, let me know! Now on to the regulary scheduled programing...

I have another Nail-Venturous polish for you today! Besides the well know Floam, Amy from Nail-Venturous does some other pretty unique polishes. I couldn't stray away from my matte glitters for to long! So I have for you Nail-Venturous- Orange You Unique! I wasn't quite sure if I would like Orange You Unique, but I do! As weird as this sounds, it's almost a subtle polish?! Close up, you can see all the orange, blue and white glitters. From far away it's not so bright and just has a speckled effect, weird huh? It has a slightly orange tinted base and had pretty great coverage in just two coats. If I remember correctly, Floam took three and there was still a bit of nail showing through. I'm pretty sure you can only get Nail-Venturous polishes from Ninja Polish at the moment. I don't think Amy's Etsy is open or will be any time soon. Picture Time!

Oh Nerd Lacquer, can you please come back? I know there is a bit of controversy surrounding Nerd Lacquer but I must say, it is probably my favorite Indie brand. At the moment there is no where to buy Nerd Lacquer's from except Ebay or swaps. I really hope Nerd Lacquer returns in the near future because I have a serious hankering for some more Nerds. I'm very sorry if anyone is having problems with Nerd Lacquer. I hope everything get's sorted out! Today I'm showing you one of my newest Nerd Lacquers, Event Horizon. I received Event Horizon from Alyson over at Beads Nails Food in a swap we did within a group on Facebook. I can't tell you how damn excited I was when I opened my package and saw this! Alyson, I <3 you!
Event Horizon is a dark greenish blue jelly jammed packed with tiny glitter. I did two coats, one thin and one thick. It applied pretty evenly and the glitter dispersed nicely. It has tiny silver holographic glitters that catch the light nicely. In the pictures, it seems slightly sheer at the tips but I find that to be fairly common with jelly polishes. I am so happy I have this polish! Picture time!

Gorgeous, no? Did you have a chance to snag any Nerd Lacquer's before they disappeared? 

Don't forget to enter both of my giveaways! I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

21st Birthday Mani!

Woohoo, it's my birthday! I figured I would spice my mani up a bit and do a cupcake nail. Now I'm not that great at nail art and my clean up was a bit messy because I was in a rush. I think it turned up pretty cute though! If you can't tell from the title of the post, it's my 21st birthday! So it's party time tonight! Not really, I'm just going out with to eat with friends,but regardless I think it's going to be fun! I bet you can't guess what brand I used for this mani? If you guessed Zoya, you are correct! I seriously can't get enough of the Zoya Beach & Surf collection, and I have a slight love affair with Zoya anyway. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite brand. Sorry if you guys have been Zoya-ed out! I used Zoya- Rory with just a tiny bit of Zoya- Shelby and Essie- Marshmallow on my cupcake.

I'M AT 100 FOLLOWERS! GIVEAWAY WILL BE UP SOON. THANKS EVERYONE!

Amy's Nail Boutique- Cotton Candy

Today I have another matte glitter to fuel your obsession! It's a layering combo with Cotton Candy from Amy's Nail Boutique. That gal Amy sure makes some pretty polishes! I'm not sure if both glitters in this polish are matte or if the blue is regular and the pink is matte. I can't quite tell, but it's a simple yet pretty polish. I'm sure I've said it before, I'm not to keen on glitters I have to layer. I generally like glitters that will eventually become opaque. For matte glitter, I can make an exception! I was originally going to layer Cotton Candy over Zoya- Dove but went with Zoya- Kristen instead. I'm saving Dove for another matte glitter combo. Zoya- Kristen is a pale grayish-blue, and as with most cremes from Zoya, was opaque and smooth in two coats. Kristen went more blue on me which is what I had hoped for. I also did two coats of Cotton Candy and ended with a nice amount of glitter on the nail. I feel like this is a really girly mani without being pink, flashy and in your face. Picture time!

Super pretty, no? I'm really excited because my next post is going to be my 21st birthday mani!! I was going to do that mani tonight but we have a little girls birthday party tomorrow at work, and like I've said, my job is a mani killer! For those of you wondering, I work at Lush Cosmetics. I figured I should mention that sense I mention my job in posts all the time :) I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far! Has any one tried any of Amy's polishes yet? 

I died when I saw this so I though I would share. It's necessary to sing it like the song :D
