Fresh Paint Pistachio & Sally Hansen Disco Ball

I picked up a few clearance polishs at Five Below, a couple bottles of Pistachio were among those. It's a very pretty green, light and soft. The formula didn't level the best, this was about three coats.
I wanted a bit of sparkle so I added a quick layer of Sally Hansen Disco Ball then Insta-Dri.

Sally Hansen Copper Penny & Revlon French Roast

It's been a bit cooler the past couple days, perfect time for some fall nail polish. : )

Well, that and I got this great copper glitter on clearance at Ulta last weekend! I swatched it over four different browns, the one I thought worked the best was Revlon Colorstay French Roast.
I applied 1-2 coats of French Roast, then just one (1!) coat of Sally Hansen Copper Penny from their Complete Salon Manicure line. I think I'm going to have to grab the other bottle of this... it's really pretty and applies so nicely.
And because I can, I added Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond for sparkle and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat.

Edited to add a couple more photos... and that I'm stopping by Ulta tonight to grab that extra bottle after all! : P


The claw! lol

SinfulShine Manhunt, SpaRitual Invention, & Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond

Once again, I really like this combination! I started with two coats of SinfulShine's shimmery army green Manhunt. The formula is thick, but in a good way... I love the gel-like effect/thickness that the polish has once it's dry- and it wears well, too!
I then layered SpaRitual Invention, a gold/slightly blue shimmer over top and added Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond for a bit of holographic sparkle.
I finished off with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. Including the Finger Paints base coat I used, it's six layers of polish in all but I like the effect. Plus, any nail imperfections I have are certainly covered up! lol

SinfulShine Rendezvous & Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat

Love this combo! I used two coats (slightly thicker) of SinfulShine's dusty teal Rendezvous then topped it with Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat. The top coat has teeny tiny glitter, I think there are several colors in there, but over Rendezvous it's predominantly gold... which is gorgeous! I finished the look off with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri.

Zoya Yuna

I had a few bonus dollars to spend at Ulta, I came home with Zoya Yuna for $3. : )
While the formula, for me, was thick and a bit difficult to get good coverage... for each nail I had to get keep getting more polish on the thin brush. With other polishes, I can cover the whole nail with just one or two swipes of polish.

BUT! The color is really nice. A dark grey with small gold/green/copper flecks turn this into a really great, easy-to-wear neutral which is just what I was looking for. I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri on top since I know I'll want to wear this for a while.
It's dark, but can't easily be confused for a black and I don't own any other dark grey polishes like this. It's a keeper.

Finger Paints A Grape Catch, Piggy Polish Among the Stars & Finger Festival

I'll try to get a normal pic a bit later, but for now lookit the SPARKLES!

This is two coats of Finger Paints medium purple shimmer, A Grape Catch. I then used a coat of Piggy Polish lilac and pink glitter Among the Stars and because I wanted some holographic in the mix, I added Piggy Polish Finger Pestival. Woohoo!

Fresh Paint Guava & Piggy Polish Finger Festival

I really love this polish, Fresh Paint Guava. I used one thick coat to reach opacity and topped it with the prettiest holographic polish, Piggy Polish Finger Festival. I really couldn't capture just how bright and happy of a color Guava is, especially in lower lighting it justs radiates.
