Color Club Frost Bite Collection; Partial Review

Good morning dears!  My posting will be a bit infrequent and irregular for the next week (month actually) as I am preparing for a 2 week long vacation and will be busy packing, cleaning and setting up guest posts!  YAY for guest posts!  But when I have a chance here and there I'll throw up a few pictures for you to peruse.  This morning I have a few metallic shades and a glitter from the Color Club Winter collection called Frost Bite.  The 7 piece Frost Bite collection is available on the website now and each shade is $8.50.  It looks like they are all metallic finish, metal type shades.  The only thing I will mention about this is that you will get brushstrokes with this type of finish.  My suggestion is to sponge on the second layer and you'll completely reduce that brushstrokey look.  I also have a feeling these will be great for stamping!  So let's jump in and see the 3 polishes I have to share!

Blue Christmas Mani

Good afternoon!  We are getting down to the wire here to share Christmas/Holiday themed manis so I figured I may as well just get them all posted!  I did a Blue Christmas mani and I was extremely happy with how it turned out.  Let's go ahead and look at the pictures!

I started with Lumina Lacquer Homesick at Space Camp on my thumb, middle and accent nails.  I used 2 coats but easily could have used 1.  I wanted the richest blue hue I could get and this was the perfect choice!  Plus it's holo!   I topped my middle nail with 2 coats of Lynnderella Ice the Snowcake, a lovely white glitter topper that also has a nice serving of holo and iridescent shimmers.  

On my index and pinky nails I used The Nail Junkie Snowflake.  This shimmery white polish is absolutely perfection!  It's soft and delicate and really looks like snow glinting in the light.  I used 3 coats and as you can see there is still a very slight visible nail line, but it really looks clean and classy so it didn't bother me one tiny bit.  It gives a "my nails but better" look.  I then got adventurous and hand drew snowflakes over Snowflake using Homesick at Space Camp.  I finished everything up with a thick layer of topcoat. LOVE!  

Glow In the Dark Week, Night 2: Dollish Polish Spectral Pup

Good evening and welcome back to the 2nd night of Glow In The Dark week!  I had this idea pop into my head and with my recent discovery of how to make my polish glow AND capture it in pictures I thought it would be fun to feature a different glow in the dark polish each night for a week.  So far what I'm certain of is that I want more glow in the dark everything!  I can see a new addiction forming here.  In case you missed it last night:
Night 1 - Ninja Polish Howling Blue Moon
Tonight's post is Dollish Polish Spectral Pup.  This is another polish that was released last Halloween.  I had to have it and am embarrassed to admit I have never worn it.  Until now.  And what a fun glowing polish it is!  Aside from being a big fan of the inspireation (Zero from A Nightmare Before Christmas), I'm a fan of how the glitters glow - reminds me of a picture of the universe or of a dense cover of stars in the sky.  Spectral Pup is a clear base polish full of white and orange glitter with holo shimmer.  I used 2 coats over 3 coats of Pure Ice Twinkle.  Spectral Pup had a great formula - the glitter came out easily and spread well on my nails.  The green glow is really strong and pretty.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat. 

Happy Birthday to Meeeeee!

I'm a lucky girl with so many friends that have spoiled me rotten today (and the past few days leading up to today)! Thank you to everyone for the most amazing, funny and beautiful gifts. I wish I could wear all the polish today but I'm not a super hero with a zillion fingers so I had to pick one. And this is it! How could I not wear a polish made specially for me?! I had a BBQ party yesterday and didn't have a chance to take proper pictures but here are a few I snapped from my phone.

Jen's Secret Garden by Red Dog Designs! 3 coats with 1 layer of topcoat. I tried a flower stamp on my ring finger with Rainbow Honey Lucky Bot (yes I still need a lot of practice with stamping). And now I'm off for a day in Santa Cruz! TTFN!!
