Darling Diva Polish Happy Wife, Happy Life! & Tease

Morning all!  I have some absolutely gorgeous color shifting glitters to share with you today.  These were truly amazing.  I walked all over my house staring at my nails in different lighting.  My kids probably thought I was a total kook.  Anywhoodle....these beauties come from one of my favorite indie brands, Darling Diva Polish.  Carrie really makes fabulous polish in so many different finishes!  She's got something for everyone: glitter, holo, color shifting, flakies, jellies, milky, etc...  So head on over to one of her shops and see what she has for you!

First off, I love the name of this one because it's true.  Ha!  Happy Wife, Happy Life! is a "topcoat full of green to purple color shifting glitters."  It's pretty darn amazing and so much more than the description lets on!  I also saw magenta and teal and cobalt!  As per the recommendation, I started this mani with black.  I used 1 layer of Sinful Colors Black on Black for a base to show off Happy Wife, Happy Life! at it's most colorful.  HWHL had an amazing formula and application was perfect. I used 2 coats to get very dense color changing glitter action.  I finished this with 1 layer of topcoat.  

These are some extra pictures I took of Happy Wife, Happy Life! because well, why not!  HWHL was so crazy, shifty I thought you'd like to see more pictures of it in action. 

Tease is another glitter topper that has some great color changing abilities!  This one is a bit darker in color with a more subtle color shift.  Tease is described as "sparkly blue to red shifting glitters."  It's also another topper that will work best over black or a dark base color.  I again used 1 layer of Sinful Colors Black On Black to start.  In Tease I saw indigo, purple, fuchsia and red colors!  It was another dense glitter and I only used 2 coats for very full coverage.  I found the formula and application both very lovely and easy to work with.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.  

Fall Mani with Nubar Go Native, Take Off the Mask, Ninja Polish Color Changing Garnet & China Glaze Light As A Feather

Good morning and happy Sunday!  I hope this weekend has treated you well so far.  I've been a busy bee with soccer and festivals and birthday parties.  I find that I am always out and about on the weekends!  I was rocking a new Fall themed mani too and it's so pretty!  I love how it turned out!  So let's get into the details shall we?

I found some new Nubar collections at my beauty supply store and I just couldn't pass up a few of them!  I started this mani with 2 layers of Go Native (thumb, ring and pinky).  This shimmery rusty colored orange has my heart all aflutter!  It has definitely jumped to the front of my favorite orange list.  It's reading much more orange-red in the pictures than it really is.  I then used Take Off the Mask - a deep chocolaty brown with a hint of red and beautiful shimmer.  I used 2 coats of TotM on my index, middle and sponged it onto the tip of my ring finger nail.  Both of these Nubars had fabulous formula and applied so nicely.  If you come across the Wild West collection I definitely suggest you pick these 2 (or any) up!  On my index and middle I used 1 layer of Ninja Polish Color Changing Garnet to have some pretty shifty color changing - and it worked great because my nails were flashing a deep garnet, gold and olive green!  Perfect Fall colors!  I loved CCG and I will definitely use it again soon.  Finally I drew inspiration from this mani by my friend Michelle at Ehmkay Nails and dabbed China Glaze Light As A Feather over the middle section of my ring finger nail (covering the gradient point).  I picked this bar glitter because it was black, pastel orange, white and yellow glitters and those colors seemed Halloweenish to me.  I finished it all off with a layer of topcoat.
