Fresh Paint Sugar Crush

Why, yes, yes this polish *is* this awesome! LOVE!


I started with a coat of Rimmel Stiletto, a nice deep pigmented black. The magic happens when you apply Fresh Paint Sugar Crush, I used two coats to have more of a solid flakie effect. Burnt orange, gold, green, copper... yeah, this polish kind of has it all! Plus being super easy to apply and quick drying? Awesome!
And since too much is never enough apparently, I did a quick layer of Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond for some nice micro holographic glitter sparkle. Oh, and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat so I can wear this look for as long as possible.
Seriously... this. is. awesome.

LA Girl Burst

I don't have a great sheer pink yet... I have a few, but they're soo sheer that it takes too many coats to get the color and opacity where I want it.

For this result, I started with OPI No Bees Please, then a coat of Rimmel French Rose, then NY Color Pink Champagne, then another coat of French Rose. Layered over top is a coat of LA Girl's wonderful rose and holographic glitter, Burst.

The pink color got where I wanted it to, but that many layers took ages to set. I let everything dry before adding the glitter, Burst is smooth enough so I didn't add top coat.

Rimmel Rags to Riches & Hard Metal

This is Rimmel Rags to Riches, a really pretty metallic olive green, and Rimmel Hard Metal, a medium metallic blue. Both are pretty on their own, I thought they would look nice together since the finishes and formulas are so similar.

I did a layer of Rags to Riches and then did French tips with Hard Metal. I wanted the blue to be a bit more subtle, so I topped the entire nail with another coat of Rags to Riches.
I like the effect and the Rimmel brushes are actually pretty decent to use to do the tips.

Rimmel Gold Silk

I really like this polish, this is Rimmel Gold Silk. It's a lovely champagne/taupey gold. Not brassy at all, it's a great almost-nude shade. Fancy nude!

I topped two coats of Gold Silk with a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust, but the holographic sparkles aren't visible in the photo. It was really pretty in person though.

OPI Which is Witch? & Rimmel Steel Grey

I topped Rimmel Steel Grey with a couple easy coats of OPI Which is Witch? It's a nice glitter topper in a clear base, there are medium circles, microglitter, and teeny bar glitters- all holographic.
The two coats dried quickly and pretty smoothly. It's been wearing well also. Apologies for the tip wear!

Rimmel Steel Grey

Here is Rimmel Steel Grey. Grey is not obviously not the best word choice, I would say the color is a dusky combo of raisin, mauve, and greige.

It's a nice office-friendly color without being too boring. The first coat applied gorgeously, I truly love Rimmel's brushes. The second, however, seemed to take a while to dry and since I was in a hurry to get to bed I did end up getting some fabric marks in the finish. Oh well, it's still pretty.

Different Dimension Petal'd & Rimmel Wild Orchid

YAY for glitters that apply like a dream and are just so darn pretty!

This is my first polish from Different Dimension's Spring 2014 line, Petal'd. It has a clear base with teeny holographic glitter and lots of larger pastel circle glitters. Application was super easy, absolutely NO problem with getting glitters out.
I used one coat of Petal'd over one coat of Rimmel Wild Orchid. I did add a layer of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri afterwards since I didn't want any of the edges of the glitter to get caught on anything. Most lay perfectly flat though.

I'm so impressed by this brand, I'm looking forward to adding more of their beautiful polishes to my collection. Different Dimension can be found on Etsy.

Rimmel Wild Orchid

I really love Rimmel's polishes. Their brush works the best for me, their colors are pretty, and the formula is fantastic. Many, like this, are one-coaters!

This is Rimmel Wild Orchid. It's a vivid violet creme and I'm sure it will be just perfect under many glitters.
