Calico by Nail Potions

Today I have an exciting new polish by indie maker, Nail Potions. This is such a great glitter! I had a calico cat when I was growing up so I really love the name. It is so fitting for this pretty polish. Calico is described by its creator as "a clear base with black and orange glitter with white texture". The polish has a really unique finish; it is unlike anything I own. It sort of reminds me of the feel of sand. I had to top it with Seche Vite so I didn't get to enjoy rubbing on my nails. Boo! One coat of Seche smooths it out. I am wearing one coat of Calico over Yummy & Helen, both by Zoya. I did add a little more Calico on my index finger to hide a smudge.

My favorite thing about Nail Potions? They are made by one of my best friends, Jessica! In our recent swap she loaned me this bottle to try out. Now I really want to try her other feline inspired potion, Flame Point Siamese.

Zoya Dove & The Glittering Crowd

Today's nails were inspired by a cute manicure my friend did last year. It was blue on her tips and pink on the back of the nail; a variation of the Louboutin manicure. It was so cute I am still thinking about it!

I used Zoya Dove as a base with The Glittering Crowd by Lynnderella on top. The pink under my nails is Essie Funny Face.

I won Dove from a giveaway through one of my favorite bloggers, The Do It Yourself Lady. If you haven't already, check out her blog here, http://doityourselflady.blogspot.com/.

Orly Lunar Eclipse & Lacquistry Lake Placid on Acid

What do you get when you mix blues, holo and lots of glitter? An amazing birthday mani! I got a new camera for my birthday and was excited to take pictures of my nails.The base is two coats of Orly Lunar Eclipse. Next I added one coat of a blue holo mixed by me. The gorgeous glitter is Lake Placid on Acid by Lacquistry. I am in love with this glitter!
