Happy New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year's Eve! Hope you all had/are having a great day/night! For my NYE mani I wanted a super blingy black and gold look. I started with Colors by Llarowe Vincent, a black creme. I then painted half my nail with Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights, a gold holo microglitter, and half with Lumina Lacquer The Snow King, a mix of various gold, silver, and pinky purple glitters. Super sparkly, exactly like I wanted! Take a look:

Baroness X Mele Kalikimaka~♫

Hello friends! Today I have a pretty Christmas gradient from awhile back I forgot to post earlier. I started out with alternating gradients of Aly's Dream Polish Tiffanytea, Who Sencha?, and Bohemian Raspberry, respectively an aqua blue, pistachio green, and creamy pale berry pink scatter holo. I then layered over it Baroness X Mele Kalikimaka, a mix of pink, blue, green and red glitters in a clear base. Finally, I used matte topcoat over the whole thing. I loved this mani - the glitter matched the base gradients perfectly! Take a look~

Merry Christmas Nails!

Hello all, and Merry Christmas! I hope you all had a lovely day :) For my Christmas mani, I went with super festive skittles! I started out with Lynnderella Rad Red Party Dress, a red microglitter with red glitter accents, Colors by Llarowe Man in the Mirror, a silver microglitter, and Lynnderella Kitty Climbs a Christmas Tree, a green microglitter with rainbow glitter accents. I then used Lynnderella As Above, So Holo, a mix of silver holo glitters of various shapes in a clear base, over the silver microglitter (so it would have accent glitters too, lol). Finally, I used Lynnderella Merry Fairy, a mix of various shapes of glitter in Christmassy colors, over all of them as a glitter gradient. So many Lynnderellas, lol - and so sparkly! Take a look-

Merry Christmas Eve! Lots of Holiday Manis

 Merry Christmas Eve! I have been very busy the past few weeks (first with finals, then with family and festivities and such) so I haven't gotten a chance to post all my Christmas manis - so here are some now!

First up is Chaos & Crocodiles There's Magic in the Air, a bright blue holo with a silvery sheen, from the December Sweet Addictions box. I layered Elevation Polish SBP Peteroa, a mix of various blue and silver glitters, over it. These two went together perfectly - so pretty! I am in love with this C&C.

Next up is Different Dimension Why Am I Such A Misfit?, a white crelly packed with various pink, blue, yellow and purple glitters. Very cute! I am a sucker for white crellies with rainbow-y glitter, so I loved this one.

 Next up is KB Shimmer Sugar Plum Faerie, a warm purple base with various purple, pink, and green glitters. Very pretty!

 Next is Lynnderella Sugar and Ice, a mix of various red, white, green, and a few pink glitters in a sheer white crelly base. I layered it over Essie Marshmallow to help with opacity. Love this one, so Christmassy!

 Last up is Pahlish Ruby Red Wrapping, a bright pink-leaning ruby red holo. I layered Lynnderella One Nutty Fruitcake, a mix of rainbow and black square glitters, over it. Love this combo!

Candy Lacquer Magical Reindeer Collection - Multichrome Glittery Madness!

Hello hello! Today I have the fabulous glittery multichrome Magical Reindeer collection from Candy Lacquer to share with you! These babies are indeed magic - take a look at the sparkly color-shifting perfection below!

look how sparkly - and you haven't even seen the color shift yet!

To avoid repeating myself, each swatch is two easily-applied coats and one coat of KB Shimmer Clearly On Top topcoat, and descriptions in quotes are from Candy Lacquer :)

First up is Reindeer Games, a "green/purple chameleon glitter with a bit of gold/green, blue/red and red/gold chameleons added, as well." To me it looks like a strong green to purple shift with a ton of gold sparkle. This one may have the strongest shift of all - it is mesmerizing! I am head over heels for this polish.

Next up is Fancy Prancer,"a mix of blue/red and green/purple chameleon and purple super holo glitters." This one mostly looks like a strong blue to reddish-purple shift to me, with a strong holo sparkle thrown in. Love love love!

Next up is Visions of Vixen, "a mix of green/purple, blue/red and red/gold chameleon glitters." This one is kind of hard to describe! It is kind of a plummy purple with green sparkle and a strong orange-y gold shift. So complex and pretty!

Next up is Flash Dancer, a "silver super holo, with some gold super holo and gold/green chameleon glitters." To me this comes off as a super in-your-face almost platinum silver with a hint of gold, but as you can see it can look more silver or gold depending on the lighting. So blingy! This looks like a great New Year's Eve polish to me.

Next up is Comet Chameleon, "a mix of all 4 chameleon glitters including red/gold, blue/red, green/purple and gold/green." A mix indeed! This one truly is a multi-glitter - so much going on it is hard to catch any shifting maybe, but all the more awesome for how many colors are thrown in! Love it. Kind of reminds me of the glitters from ye olde OPI Burlesque collection, or maybe Mad As A Hatter - aka, super awesomeness!

Last but certainly not least is Christmas Donner, "a mix of red/gold and gold/green chameleon and gold super holo glitters." This one looks like a mostly warm brownish copper glitter to me, with a gold shift in the right light. Another one of my faves - reminds me of Christmas candy for some reason - maybe toffee? So yummy!

I am so in love with this collection! Blogging multichromes typically takes so much work that I rarely am motivated to post even one, let alone a whole colletion of them - what with all the extra photos and angles needed to properly show the prettiness off and all. But these reindeer were just too magical for me to resist ;)
