Two Glitters Side by Side

 I thought these were kind of alike, until I put them side by side. Nothing similar going on here!
Both of these are over Wet-n-Wild I need a Refreshmint.

Pointer and Pinky - Spoiled: Pet My Peacock

Middle and Ring - Kleancolor: Afternoon Picnic

Two coats of each.

 Peacock is actually pretty dense. It's different colored hex and round glitters suspended in a clear polish.

 Afternoon Picnic is a whole bunch of different shaped and colored glitter pieces suspended in a clear-tealish color polish. It looks like a party in a bottle! It's definitely more green and blue oriented with some silver.

Spoiled is a lot of green, blue, gold, solver and even some lavendar glitter.

Verdict: Nothing alike!
If I had to get rid of one: If I HAD to, it wold be the Spoiled, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

Minty Fresh Comps

China Glaze "For Audrey" vs. Zoya "Wednesday" vs. Wet-n-Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"

Pointer Finger: For Audrey

Middle Finger: Wednesday

Ring Finger: I Need A Refresh-Mint

Pinky: For Audrey

 The picture makes For Audrey and Refreshmint, look closer than they actually are in real life. Wednesday is a a bit dusky blue/green.

For Audrey leans more blue while the Wet-n-Wild leans more minty green. Wednesday isn't a dupe for either of them.

Verdict: I need all three.
If I had to get rid of one: Wet-n-Wild, because the brush is horrific!

While I was comping these, it occurred to me that the Zoya might be a dupe for Misa's "Dirty Sexy Money" so I went and dug out my bottle of it which I haven't seen in probably two years. It needed some shaking, that's for sure.

Pointer and Ring: "Dirty, Sexy, Money"

Middle and Pinky: Zoya "Wednesday"

 Definitely not dupes either. The Misa is quite a bit darker.

Verdict: Love them both.
If I had to get rid of one: Misa, the formula is sucky and it takes forever to dry.

Kleancolor - Bite Me

 This is such a gorgeous shade of red!

I took a trip to Sephora this week, so that's $OPI gold flaky polish on my ring finger.

Contest coming soon!

Do bloggers still do contests? Well, I haven't done one in awhile, so I am going to put one up soon, keep an eye out!  :)

A-England Dragon

I waited forEVER for this polish to be back in stock.

It was totally worth it!

 Great coverage in only one coat.

 Not as holo as I thought, but it's spectacular anyway.

 FLASH

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!
