ellagee Ziggy Stardust

Good evening fellow polish lovers!  Hope your Friday was awesome!  Mine was really jam-packed and went by in a flash.  I'm literally sitting here at my middle little's basketball practice and using the time to type.  Gosh it's loud in here and every ball that hits the ground vibrates the entire gym floor - do not like.  Of course I know nothing about basketball and it's my least favorite sport.  But it makes me happy to see my little Julian having a great time.  Something I do know a few things about is polish.  So let's talk ellagee Ziggy Stardust.  I picked this up a while ago, then got bogged down with reviews and it was pushed to the depths of my polish piles.  Well nobody puts Ziggy in the corner!  So I'm here to make amends and share this fun, glittery, Bowie inspired polish with you now. I actually don't see Ziggy Stardust in the shop right now so I'm not sure if it's gone or just out of stock.  If it's gone I really do apologize for not getting a post up featuring it sooner - let's hope it's just out of stock!  But there are loads of other fabulous polishes in the ellagee shop right now - be sure to check those out!

Festive Nails for Family Picture Day

Hey hey again!  One more post tonight.  I'm out on the town this evening for a double date of dinner and drinks, wearing my not-so-ugly Christmas Reindeer sweater.  I thought I'd found a good ugly sweater to wear out but I really thought it was pretty darn cute.  Well all my friends said was cute too so there we have it.  Not-so-ugly.  Anyways, I wore a very cute sweater for my annual family picture day and these were the festive nails I did to match!  My kids wore red, the hubby and I wore black so I incorporated both in my nails.  And I hadn't done a nice accent nail in a while so I did just that!  Let's look!

I started with Smitten Polish Nose So Bright.  This is one of my favorite red holos EVER.  I will cry some seriously sad tears when this bottle is empty.  The formula and application of Nose So Bright are both perfection.  I used 2 coats of Nose So Bright and 1 layer of topcoat.  

I then did an accent nail, starting with a plain back creme.  I sponged both Lumina Lacquer Soleil and Different Dimension Big Bang onto the end of my nail.  The blend of silver and gold uber holo micro glitters is just so luxurious.  I finished this off with 1 thick layer of topcoat.  

And just because I thought you might be interested in seeing it...here's my not-so-ugly Christmas sweater.  I found it at the JCrew Factory store and after discounts I only paid $18 for it!  Steal!
