NOTD: LA Splash Glitz & Berry

This is a new brand to me that I found at my local harmon, and so far I really like it! They come in small square bottles, so they look like nail art bottles, but the brush is the same as any regular nail polish brush. This color contains tons of red, silver and gold glitter suspended in a red wine jelly base. I really like it colorwise, and the formula was very good! I think this was 3 coats.

NOTD: Sinful Colors Ciao Bella

Hey Everyone!
I'm so sorry I havent posted in so long, I dont really know how to explain why i havent, i just.. fell out of the loop i guess?
haha well, anyway two things have happened that are significant to this blog since then:
1. I got a macro lens, which I am in love with and
2. I made my nails square, something I never thought I'd do but I actually really like how they look now!

So this polish is Sinful Colors Ciao Bella. It's a really pretty dark blue but I find it unique from other generic dark blues because it has little sparkles in it whereas others are just plain metallics. The type of sparkles these are won't have any effect on smoothness though, they're just little foil flecks. The formula is very good, I had no trouble with it and I think this is about 2-3 coats.

NOTD: Hot Topic Chunky Green Glitter

Large and small pieces of green glitter in a dark green jelly base. I want to love this polish, but there's something about it, I think it's the formula/ the brush that i just don't like.. it was a bit messy because Hot topic has really bad brushes and it took 4 coats to get it this opaque.

NOTD: China Glaze Jitterbug

Awesome shimmery dark grey polish! It's a dark grey base with a light silver sheen of glass flecks. Great formula, this was 2 coats, and yeah, it's a great color!

NOTD: Color Club Wild and Willing

WHAT an awesome nail polish! I mean seriously, look how amazing it is!! It's a sort of light copper foil finish that reflects yellow, pink, and green depending on how you look at it. The formula is perfection, opaque in 2 coats, and I recommend wearing it without a topcoat.

NOTD: Sally Hansen Purple Pizzazz

I'm kind of disappointed with this color... It looks so amazing in the bottle and then you put it on and it's just a let down. In the bottle it looks like there's going to be so much pretty glitter, but on, barely any glitter is visible, plus it's in a completely see-through, jelly base. In person, the jelly base is not as see-through as it is in the picture with flash, but that's all it shows up as, a dark purple jelly.
The formula is pretty good, as are all of the Sally Hansen formulas, it was "opaque" in 4 coats, that is, somewhat not see through anymore. I guess I just wish the glitter would actually show up on nails.

NOTD: Zoya Crystal

I must say, Zoya has some of the BEST polishes I have ever seen, by far. This one's a gorgeous medium-light blue shimmer with tiny, sparkly flecks of gold all throughout it, that give it this unique sheen, that I think is best seen in the 3rd picture. Of course, the formula is amazing, this was 2 coats and completely opaque, no problems with application.
