Dollish Polish Spank You Very Much

I adore this polish, absolutely adore it. This is Dollish Polish Spank You Very Much over Sally Hansen Blue It and I can't even say how much I love it.
This glitter applies really well and has a great range of cool colours in it. I wore it for a long time since I used it right after I broke my pinky nail and was worried about how well my patch would hold. You might be able to tell since I feel like my pinky nail looks a little more bulky than usual but hopefully not, in person no one looks long enough to be able to tell at least.
I've got a bunch of pictures here, really I can't say how much I love this, it's so shimmery and multihued. I got it from llarowe by the way, they have a great site.
Before I removed it I played with a couple things over top, first a matte top coat here:
And then a dark water marble over the other hand here, it is really subtle, not sure if I'd do it for a proper design, what do you think?
Oh, and I tried out lining up some glitter pieces along my pointer finger as well, whoa does that ever take a long time! It was fun so I figured I'd let you see that too since I'm including the other silly things I tried out.
Thanks for reading!

Magnetic Polish


I'm totally starting to understand why swatches are awesome. Whenever I get a new polish I just really want to show it to you all! Well, here I am doing that, this time with a magnetic polish.
Magnetic polish is incredibly neat, I just love the whole concept of it. So the fact that I've only gotten my hands on one this past week is practically criminal! Yes, criminal. Anyways, I also don't have enough green, so that was how I justified buying Sally Hansen Electric Emerald for myself.
I wasn't at all disappointed with my purchase, application was easy and the magnet worked really well and quickly. It was a little short though, especially on my thumb and ring fingers, which seem to be longer than my other nails. I don't really know what to do about that, so I just let the magnet be too short after failing at shifting it forward in any way a couple times.
The waves look like they are moving when you move your hand in my opinion, above and below are a couple pictures that almost get that across. If you haven't tried magnetic polish I highly recommend it, tons of fun.
Thanks for looking!

Color Club Red Velvet Swatch

 So polish swatches aren't that common for me, but this one is really pretty spectacular. Take a look.
This is Color Club Red Velvet, a black polish with red glitter. It's oh so gorgeous, I can't get over how much I love it. I wore this polish for a long long time for me, I had it on for four days straight just alone and I'm still thinking of how to use it next.
 It looks different depending on the light, it was mistaken for a straight black a couple times and I enjoyed showing off the red sparkle to it when that happened.
 Here is a good picture of it looking mostly black. It took three coats to be totally opaque but it went on so smoothly and the red glitter was perfectly even. Pretty quick dry time too.
 Sorry for the shadows in this photo, it was hard to get good pictures of the red being really noticeable, I'm sacrificing photo elegance to get the red to you as best I can.
Sigh, aw, look at it, so nice.

Gold!

This is just a short post to show off Misa's Disco Queen. I love how shimmery and sparkly this polish is. I kept getting distracted and waving my fingers around to see it go.

There is so much sparkle in this polish that you don't need a base coat, I used three coats here and it was opaque in two. Went on perfect, dried quickly, not too gritty, I only needed one coat of my top coat to smooth it out. I used Essie's good to go top coat here.
