Cover Band Lacquer Sticks 'n Stones

Hi everyone! Today I have a glitter combination that took the nail polish world by storm when it first came out. Something so simple as the contrast of black and white and everyone just went crazy! Well, most people...me included :)

Base coat: 1 coat of Julep Nail Therapy

Polish: 2 coats of China Glaze For Audrey, 2 coats of Sticks 'n Stones

Top Coat: 1 coat of Gelous, 1 coat of Seche Vite

I think the combination of aqua blue and black and white glitter just looks AWESOME. It's such a classic and eye-catching pairing. 

Sticks n' Stones is one of many, many black and white glitter combinations in the indie world. And this one is supposed to be a pretty close dupe of the ever popular Lynderella Connect the Dots, the one that started it all.

I don't have that to compare it to. But I can say I loved this rendition by Cover Band Lacquer. It was very easy to work with and jam packed with glitter! It was kind of bumpy but I feel that's inevitable with chunky glitters like this. Just do your best to coat it with thick top coat!

Can I also just take a moment to dote on how wonderful For Audrey is? This is one of my first China Glaze polishes, and one that I bought when I was still a "muggle". That is...not a crazy person obsessed with nail polish! And after sitting in my nail polish rack for a few years, it still worked perfectly. No thickness, or ugliness. Just applied like butter, like they say....and the color is still utterly gorgeous as well!

You can find Sticks 'n Stones on Ninja Polish, although it is currently out of stock. You can sign up for an email notification when it comes back though!

Anyway, that's all I have for you folks today. Thanks for stopping by!

Back from the dead...(also Halloween Indie Polish spam)

Hi everyone! It's been ages since I've blogged but I really want to get back into it. I won't make a huge list of excuses, so I'll quickly say I've been busy with work and school.

Now onto some polish spam! For the entire month of October, I wore nothing but Halloween-themed/related polishes. Most of them were from indie sellers too. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of all of my manicures but I'll include here some of the ones I did get to photograph.

Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat
Polish: 2 coats of Sinful Colors Happy Ending, 1 coat of All that Glitters Horror Business
Top coat: 1 coat of Gelous, 1 coat of Seche Vite

Oh em gee. This was one of my favorite manicures of the month and I got a lot of compliments on it too! Formula was a breeze.

Pardon the cat hair!

Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat
Polish: 1 coat of Zoya Mira, 1 coat of All that Glitters Night Fright

This was pretty too but Night Fright is crazy thick and stinky!

Sadly the best picture I could get...

Base coat: 1 coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat

Holy lobster hands!
