Holo Leopard Nails!

Hello all! Today I have some fun leopard print nail art to share with you. I have done leopard nails before, but never traditional real leopard-looking ones, so this was a fun look to try out. For the gold base I used Dollish Polish Squirrel!, a soft gold linear holo. Since I was trying to match my mani to some leopard print leggings I wanted to wear, I had to mix the perfect brown color since I didn't have the exact shade, so for the brown, I used a mix of Aly's Dream Polish Copper, a copper scatter holo, and Chirality Nail Polish I Got a Rock, a brown linear holo. I then just drew on the spot outlines in Aly's Dream Polish Super Black, a black scatter holo. I think it turned out really cool, take a look!

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off base coat
3 coats Dollish Polish Squirrel!/ 3 coats Chirality I Got a Rock/Aly's Copper
(dotted on) Chirality I Got a Rock/Aly's Copper/Aly's Super Black
1 coat KB Shimmer Clearly On Top

Very fun mani! Looking back at all my old leopard print nails it's nice to see I've improved, haha. And of course it is always fun to match your mani to your outfit!

Chirality Nail Polish Quarks

Hi guys! I am going to try and get several posts out tonight. I have a lot to share with you and and if I waited to post one a day they just never would get posted... and that would be a tragedy! haha. I didn't really want to do just one giant spam post, so look forward to a bunch of pretties tonight!

Also... I missed posting (been busy and sick, boo) but Saturday was my 1-year bloggiversary! :D Needless to say, there is a celebration in store, and it's not one you will want to miss... stay tuned!

So the first polish up tonight is Chirality Nail Polish Quarks. Quarks is a lovely indigo blue scatter holo. Holos never need much of an intro; take a look!

On my nails:
1 coat Orly Nail Defense
3 coats Chirality Nail Polish Quarks
1 coat HK Girl Topcoat

No application issues here, it applied great! I just love this color! It has a dusty quality to it over some other dark blue holos I've got, and leans purple just a little bit. The rainbow it gives off in the sunlight is kind of pastel, super pretty!

Chirality Nail Polish Cereal Killers Part Two - Swatches and Review

Hey guys! A few months ago I reviewed the amazing Cereal Killers collection from Chirality Nail Polish. I was lucky enough to be sent the new colors from the collection as well, which I have to share with you today!

top to bottom, left to right: Gacy Charms, Starkweather Pops,
Apple Jack the Ripper, Frosted Speck

Starkweather Pops is a milky white base with bright yellow and white matter hexes and squares in a variety of sizes, tiny gold holo squares and gold microglitter. This one reminds me of scrambled eggs for some reason, haha. Opacity was pretty good, I messed up one nail by not waiting long enough between coats so I needed three, but if you don't fail like me, you could probably get away with two.

On my nails:
3 coats Chirality Nail Polish Starkweather Pops
1 coat OPI Topcoat

 Frosted Speck is a pinkish-nude base with satin white squares, hexes, and microglitter, as well as a smattering of iridescent microglitter. I love this one! So subtle and delicate. I love nude polishes that have a little something special, they always look so classy and cool to me. You can see some VNL with two coats, as shown below, but the coverage and application was nice and even, so I actually thought it looked kind of nice and delicate, like a "my nails but better + glitter". Of course, if you hate VNL three coats would probably take care of that.

On my nails:
2 coats Chirality Nail Polish Frosted Speck
1 coat OPI Topcoat

Apple Jack the Ripper is a milky white base full of shiny and matte green and gold hexes, dots, and microglitter, as well as large blue circle glitters. I think the blue circles were actually holo as well, but that doesn't show up in my pics, and is of course dulled when the milky base covers it. I really like the mix of glitter in this one! It was totally full of glitter, but still applied pretty well.

On my nails:
2 coats Chirality Nail Polish Apple Jack the Ripper
1 coat OPI Topcoat

Lastly, Gacy Charms is a milky white base full of all sorts of glitters, more than I can probably describe! The "base" glitters if you will are the small gold dots/squares/hexes and the green microglitter, and then on top of that is the rainbow of stars, moons, dots, flowers, hearts, etc. -- love love love! This is a really cute, fun polish, and the fun glitters are abundant, so no worries there. I did two careful coats here to avoid patches in the white base without covering up the glitters with the base, since that would be no fun (and potentially bumpy).

 Definitely a strong addition to the original Cereal Killers collection! I really like all of these. There is something for everyone, from the classy and work-appropriate Frosted Speck to the crazy rainbowtastic Gacy Charms. I also think the formula seems a bit improved from the old ones? I had an easier time applying the glitters and getting good coverage in less coats than before. Overall I am very pleased with these pretties!

If you are interested in grabbing these polishes I believe Amanda is releasing them tomorrow, May 18, at 12pm PST :)

Chirality Nail Polish Cereal Killer Collection Swatches and Review

Hi guys! This is my 100th post, hurray! :) I will be having a giveaway soonish to celebrate, but for now I am commemorating through my adorable new watermark that I finally forced myself to sit down and make (with some help; much thanks to Dan!). Let me know what you guys think about it!

Today I am super excited to share with you my very first Chirality Nail Polish creations! I have admired Amanda's pretty polishes ever since I first saw them, so I was thrilled when she contacted me about reviewing her new Cereal Killer collection. Super punny collection and polish names aside :) all four polishes that make up the collection are fun milky white bases stuffed full of fun glitter (which as you may recall reading is a type of polish I'm totally obsessed with right now) so I really love them all -- take a look!

(For all swatches)
On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
4 coats Chirality -polish-
1 coat Deborah Lippmann Addicted to Speed

Bundy Berries is a milky white base full of all sorts of lovely blue glitter -- bright blue, sky blue, and navy blue, both shiny and matte, and tons of bright blue microglitter. I believe this is the only one without the holo/iridescent microglitter, but it absolutely isn't lacking for it! I love this one to bits, it's my favorite of the collection. It reminds me of a pretty delicate robin's egg :) Even though the base is white, it pulls very light blue in person because of all that glitter layering -- which I love! It smoothed out quite nicely with just one coat of topcoat too, which I appreciate.

Dahmer Crunch is a milky white base with a variety of sizes of black matte glitter, black microglitter and holo/iridescent microglitter. This one reminds me of Oreos! I love how the rainbows from the holo microglitter spark out against the black. This one was a bit bumpier than Bundy Berries (I think because the glitter is a bit denser) so you may want more than one coat of topcoat here.

Special BTK is a white milky base full of a variety of sizes of red glitters, red microglitter, and the holo/iridescent microglitter. I have a hard time not thinking Christmas at this one -- bringing back fond memories of my cute candy cane manis from a couple months ago! I think it was in between Bundy Berries and Dahmer Crunch in terms of bumpiness, but two coats of top coat couldn't hurt here.

And lastly Raisin Gein is a milky white (?) base full of various sizes and shades of purple matte/shiny/holo glitter, as well as holo purple microglitter. The ? is because official info says white, but it sure looks a little purple to me! Either way, it is absolutely lovely, and it's tied for my favorite of the collection. I love the abundance of holo goodness, so pretty :) On par with Bundy Berries in terms of smoothness; one coat of top coat should be good.

All of them were pretty sheer but of course buildable (I used four coats but you could potentially get away with three if you're careful; I wanted to make sure to have no bald spots for my pictures). Application started out very easy, with the glitters going where I wanted and the base applying nicely; as I added on coats it got a bit more difficult to avoid some glitters sticking to each other but not too bad. I suspect that the biggest part of my problem was mini bottles get gloopier a little quicker which impedes easy application, so when I tried to avoid glooping up my bottle (in particular with Raisin Gein) I had an easier time. As I already mentioned some were better at smoothing out than others; when in doubt I think two coats of topcoat would be adequate for all, which I don't think is too bad for glitter polish :)

I really adored this collection! Not a surprise to be honest since as I already mentioned I'm really digging those milky white glitters these days :) All of them were super lovely; this post actually took so long because I couldn't resist wearing each as a full mani, haha. Big shocker that my favorites are Bundy Berries and Raisin Gein -- can never resist a good purple or blue polish! Overall an excellent intro to Chirality; can't wait to try out more :)
