Indian Summer the sequel

After my fantastic Kleancolor haul, I was torn.
 I was still really loving the Indian Summer mani, but I really, really wanted to try out one of my new pretties!
 So, I dabbed a little fuscia glitter on top! This is so cool! There are all sorts of hex and regular holo glitters suspended in a clear-pinkish polish. The glitter is sparse and it's hard to grab out the hex pieces, but it's still fun.

Kleancolor Haul

 How excited was I to find these in our local mall?
 So pretty!
 Also picked up these beauties at a different store on the same trip.

My version of the "Indian Summer" nail.

 I saw this idea on Sephora's site, but it used the $30 $OPI gold flaky polish. This glitter was close enough for me.
 For some reason Zoya Caprice came out a little more orange than it looks in the bottle. I'm not sure if I needed to shake it up better, or if that's just how it is.

Either way, I'm happy with how this turned out!

ORLY: Sashay My Way - golden goodness!

 I'm not going to lie, I stole this idea from something I saw on Sephora's website.
 I really liked the idea of the gold glittery pieces on a white background. It felt very summery and fresh to me. Orly has these Fx glitters paired with black polish, but I think the white is more fun!
 I can't decide if the name is cute or ridiculous!
 There is something for everyone here! Bar glitter, holo glitter, hex glitter, regular glitter - you name it, this is a party in a bottle!
Sally's is charging $8.99 for these, which I personally think is a bit steep for Orly. I would have bought the green glitter too, but didn't feel like spending $20 in glitter polish! Not in one trip anyway.
BTW, the white underneath is plain old Sinful polish. Nothin fancy!

Juliet - Sunset Kiss

 This was a great drugstore find! I've never seen Julie nail color before, but I found it at Rite Aid. There were so many amazing colors to choose from! I picked Sunset Kiss because in the bottle it looked like it shifted from cherry red to orange to pink and it doesn't disappoint on the nail.
 I can't even county how many compliments I have gotten on this color! It's especially pretty in daylight.
I thought this was reasonable for a drug store polish at $2.99, and I definitely want to try out a few more colors!

Wet-n-Wild Coloricon Jewels for Your Highness

 This is two coats over a coat of essie lilacism.

I know the Wet-n-Wild Coloricon Be Jeweled Nail Lacquer Collection is supposed to be dupes of the China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitter collection, and I have to say in my opinion, they hit it out of the park.  I only have one of the China Glaze polishes, but I think these compare quite well. My only complaint is they were hard to find. I had to travel to quite a few different Rite Aids before I found them and even then it was hard to find all the colors!

 
Price is high for such a tiny bottle of W-n-W polish ($2.99) but totally worth it. This wears great. Like most glitters it was a pain to remove.

China Glaze - Liquid Crystal

 Very pretty silver-blue metallicy glittery goodness!
 Shift blue to lavender to sorta silvery.
 This is three layers. I should have layered it over another color, because this was an absolute bear to remove!

Jessica - Smokey Feather



I thought this might be similar to anothe polish I already have, but then when I really looked at it, it has a lot of unique properties

There's grey and silver, but also flecks of pink in there. Very pretty!

Jessica - Irridescent Eye

 Irridescent Eye from Jessica's "Peacock Queen" Collection
 
Metallic golden-olivey-green color. Changes in the light or when angled to pure gold, or flashes of green, teal and yellow. Just beautiful!
