Tiny weekend haul!


Just a few polishes I picked up this weekend! From left, Icing After Party, OPI Number One Nemesis, and OPI Into the Night.
I saw After Party at Icing and I knew I couldn't leave without it. Look at that glitter! I don't own any other glitters like it. It's a mix of mostly pink, orange, blue, and gold shattered-looking glitter...it's full of different sized shards of glitter. It is so, so, cool. I've worn it once and I wish I had it in a million other colors, because I know I'm gonna be using it a lot.
My Trade Secret also just got the OPI Spiderman collec in...these were the only 2 that really stood out to me. I thought about getting the orange one, but it didn't look unique...like, at all. It had a cute name, but it looked super familiar. Pass.
Anyways, just a short little post! I'll hopefully have swatches of these up soon!

Sincerely, Cat

Icing Irish Gold and OPI Green-wich Village

So, this past Sunday was the finale of the Glee Project! I don't know if anyone watches it, but me and my friend A have (had?) an obsession with it..well, mostly with one of the contestants, Damian! (If you've ever seen the show, you may recall that he's adorable and is Irish..so he has an adorable Irish accent!) So when A and I went shopping a couple weeks ago, we were looking at the nail polish in Icing (she's a nail fanatic too!) and saw an awesome glitter named Irish Gold. Obviously, we both had to have it! And then we decided we'd have to coordinate when we wore it..since Damian made it into the finale, it was a perfect chance to wear it! A and I decided to use a light green base with Irish Gold over it, and it turned out pretty cute..and it was obviously a good-luck charm, since Damo won!
So without further ado..




Base coat, 2 coats of Green-wich Village, 2 coats of Irish Gold, and one of coat of Seche Vite. I officially adore this glitter! It was a dream to apply, the brush was awesome, great formula, looks super good, it didn't start to peel off in big chunks, and most surprisingly, it was totally smooth with just one coat of SV. It looks amazing layered, but I'd also like to try it alone! I have a few more Icing glitters I still haven't tried..I'm super excited to use them now!
