CrowsToes Hell Hath No Fury & Avon Supernova

Good morning!  Thought I'd jump on and share the mani I wore for my date night last night.  My daughter goes to a little gym class and they hold a parents night out once a month.  It's so nice to have a place to drop the kids off and get a couple hours to spend alone with my husband.  It's amazing how much better food tastes when I don't have to hold on to my daughter from climbing under the table, or stop the boys from bickering over which color crayons they got.  It nice to be able to talk without interruption and enjoy adult only time.  Anywho....I wore a pretty coral red top and I threw this on my nails to match (actually I think it went the other way around, I matched my shirt to my nails).  Here are the media links to CrowsToes and Avon before we look at pictures!

So I started this simple but lovely mani with 2 coats of Avon Supernova.  Supernova is part of the Cosmic holo collection that came out in the Spring this year.  I picked up a few and the holos are soft and beautiful.  The formula is very creamy and opaque and you can easily get away with 1 coat!  Supernova is a warm red-orange color with a subtle scattered holo effect.  It's gorgeous alone and adds just a little something extra special as a base for glitter.   I used 2 coats.  Then I blinged it up with CrowsToes Hell Hath No Fury.  Hell Hath No Fury is from the 2012 Halloween collection and is described as a "bright mix of fire and orange glitters with a red/orange/gold colorshifting shimmer."  It's so gorgeous!  The color shifting shimmer is a purple iridescent that gives off little glowing twinkles.  I used 2 coats and the glitter came out easily and was plentiful.  Application and formula were both great.  I used 1 layer of topcoat to finish - I'd use 2 next time as my nails weren't completely smooth to the touch.

Helllllo!  I'm here with a holo and glitter mani to share!  You know how much I love my holos and glitters!  I think they make the most amazing combination.  So lets jump right in and talk polish!

I started this mani with 2 Avon Cosmic polishes.  The Cosmic set is their holo line and it's a subtle, scattered holo.  You are probably used to seeing me post the super strong linear holos, but I like these types of holos equally as much as those.  I will first say that I was surprised at how lovely the Avon polishes were.  I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't the amazingly creamy and saturated colors that I got!  Both of these went on beautifully!  Starburst is a classic mustard yellow color polish.  It's sunny and cheery and definitely a polish to make you feel happy (if you like yellows that is).  I used 2 coats of Starburst.  Saturn is a burnt orange color holo that has a nice fiery, fall quality to it.  Even better…Saturn was a ONE COATER!  For my gradient effect I sponge opposite colors from the base polish on my tips.  You can purchase Avon polishes from your local Avon rep or on the website.  

I then blinged it up using Lynnderella It's Raining Shaman!  IRS is from the new Once Upon A Prince And More ManCandy collection.  Lynn describes this polish as "neon, opaque and satin yellows and oranges with black, grey, pink and red multiglitter.  Holographic gold microglitter and multishimmer overlay in a clear base."  Now I am not sure who she is referring to in this polish but I truly love the color combination and have always wanted the yellow LE Lynns.  So this totally satisfied that craving for me.  I used 2 coats on IRS on some accent nails.  I had a good amount of glitter come out with each brush dip with no fishing required.  I used 1 layer of topcoat on the holo only nails and 2 layers on the glitter nails.  You can purchase Lynnderellas from Lynnderella.com.
