Spotty Orchid

So I decided to do a quick mani the other day and decided to try some of my untrieds. I did one coat of Joe Fresh Orchid. Orchid is a gorgeous reddish plum with a creme finish. Application was excellent with no problems. I then did one coat each of All That Glitters Spotty Dottie Dark and Spotty Dottie Light. Both bottles are filled to the brim! Application wasn't too bad, the normal glitter placement issues nothing too hard! Most of my glitter wanted to go to the free edge of my nail but as soon as I noticed that I had no problem and quickly got to work. This is with one coat of Seche Vite over it. Sadly some bubbles occurred (probably because of the ceiling fan working overtime!).

Here is a photo of just Joe Fresh Orchid, one coat, on it's own. Kinda splotchy with one coat two would have been better but I was in a hurry and figured since I was covering it up with the Dotties it didn't matter too much! :) Granted, some of those splotches are reflections because it was shiny too!

Nothing to hard about this mani, quick and easy and I got a lot of compliments! Many people are buying these two glitter to get the look of Lynnderella's Connect the Dots. So when I was applying the Spotty Dotties I was singing Pee Wee Herman's Connect the Dots song. Do you remember that song? Why don't I refresh your memory! :)

You are most welcome. :)

Nail Mail: Packages 1 and 2

You've seen this picture before, now lets unveil two of the packages! :) Let's start with the bigger of the manila bubble envelopes. The one in the bottom left corner. What could it be? Actually this one is funny. I ordered these polishes from etsy and the came a memo saying something about Kirsten sent you a message. I got all confused because that's my name and I didn't send myself or anyone else a message! It took me a minute to realize that the owner and creator of All That Glitters is named Kirsten too! Such a great name! :) Well onto the pretties!

Oh yeah! Spotty Dottie Dark and Spotty Dottie Light! Yippee! I'm so excited for these! And you know what? If I combine them I could make it look similar to Connect the Dots! That's one of the reasons I bought these. But I also bought them because I don't have any white glitter and been craving them! And I have no black glitter that has bars! And both of these glitters have bar glitter and then hex glitters of multiple sizes. They are gorgeous! And they are jammed full! There is so much glitter in these bottles it's ridiculous! I am so excited to try these! Go and visit her shop because she has so many amazing glitter polishes! All That Glitters. (Ugh sorry, just realized the picture is a tad bit blurry. Grr! It was overcast when I took this photos)

Onto package 2. We will do the small little white envelope that is located between the two manila ones. This one caused a lot of fuss when it was released and can only be gotten in the lovely UK. There is an amazing lady named Claire from Purple Fairy Dust that took orders and  found hunted tracked down bottle after bottle of this amazing wee little polish! Yep, you guessed it:

Max Factor's Fantasy Fire! Woot! Woot! I'm so excited! And amazed at how itty bitty it is! But it is worth it! I haven't used it yet but I can't wait! But it will be used sparingly! But it will be loved, oh yes, it will be loved! Isn't Claire just friggin' amazing for doing this! Thank you thank you thank you sooooo much! I love love love it! It is definitely worth all the fuss! (sorry for the cruddy blurry picture) (see, even it's awesomeness can't be capture by a camera!) This polish is a close dupe to Clarins 230 (Unicorn Pee). It is a gorgeous color shifting top coat that has red to green (and colors in between) shifts!

The second little manila envelope is the one package that wasn't mine. It is for Debbie from The Crumpet and it was her OPI Ink Suede! And I sent off an amazing epic box of polishes for her today!
