China Glaze - Eye Candy

Hello! I have some glitter for you :)

I was really crap about swatching these. I have the time crunch going on, and I don't really know what these are going to look like until I upload them. Again, I apologize for stray fluffs, stray glitter, wonky cleanup etc. I was not consistant. Some of these are swatched over another colour. I will mention that. Some also have topcoat on them while some do not. Anyhoo! Onward and upwards.

I bought this specifically to go underneath Blonde Bombshell. I didn't have a yellow gold like this one. I really do not love it, but it serves its purpose. This is 3 coats no topcoat. It is a yellow gold with silver glitter randomly throughout which you would not notice unless you looked with macro eyes.

Champagne Bubbles

This is 1 coat of Blonde Bombshell over Champagne Bubbles. I think layering most of these polishes is the way to go. They need 3 coats for opacity for the most part, or you can put 1 coat over a base colour and have far easier removal.

Blonde Bombshell

This is 3 coats. Teensy wee black microglitter with bigger holo glitter. I did put topcoat on this one. Gritteh.

Some Like It Haute

3 coats. I don't think I put topcoat on this one. Not sure exactly what is going on with my fingers in these pics.. This was not the last polish I swatched! Fingers are looking haggard either way ;)

Material Girl

Lorelei's Tiara. I love this one. The first 2 pictures are 3 coats no base coat no topcoat. The last picture is 1 coat over Billie Silver which is a standard silver foil. It also includes an accent nail of Orly Stone Cold which in hindsight I should have topped with Absolutely Alice.

This one I popped over Sapphire In The Snow. I do not know why I bother putting that one back in the box. I use it under everything! Need.. backup.. 1 coat no top coat in these shots.

Marry A Millionaire

Last but not least I have Love Marilyn. This is 3 coats. No base coat. I think I used topcoat.

Love Marilyn

Here is a comp for Ataractic. This is 3 coats each of Gettin' Miss Piggy With It and Love Marilyn. Similar but not at all the same. Also, GMPWI is far less opaque, definitely a layering polish.

Thanks for looking!

Halloween!

Here is my halloween mani. Wet & Wild black creme + China Glaze Lubu Heels topped with Essie Matte About You and red striper to make the blood. Accent nail of some random red and OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It.

I made some brownies! Mmm evil brownies..

OPI - The Muppets Collection Swatches

Today was a good day!

This is a fabulous collection. Application on almost all of them was flawless. I apologize for any wonky cuticles, bits of fluff, stray glitter, ugly cleanup jobs and/or slightly longer ring finger nails *shakes fist* that you may encounter in the pics below. Get ready for overcast shitty day pictures galore!

First up is Designer De Better

This is 2 coats with no topcoat. The application was fabulous. This is a silvery champagne foil with pronounced pinky/peachy/bronzy bits in it. It reminds me of Zoya Crystal in a way.

Indoors

Here we have Warm and Fozzy. Not the duochrome that many of us were hoping for, but still nice! It is a light brown jelly with green leaning yellow gold and pink particulates that make it look quite foily. This is 2 coats with no topcoat.

Indoors

Here we have Animal-istic

This is 2 coats with no topcoat. It could almost be a 1 coater. I had a teensy bit of VNL so I decided to do a 2nd coat. If I had been more careful, it could have been a 1 coater for sure. This is a lovely orange leaning red. It looks like shimmery sparkly glass candy! Mmm glass candy *munch munch bleed*

Indoors

Wocka Wocka!

1 coater! I did 2 for.. why did I do 2? Anyways this is a gorgeous deep vampy red. Vampy without being too dark. It has subtle shimmer and I love this polish. These pics make it look a lot brighter than it is outdoors. Truly I think it is somewhere in between the out and in pics.

Indoors.

Meep-Meep-Meep

This is 2 coats but it could have been 1. The consistency of this one is a bit viscous. It is a fuchsia pink jelly that is packed with microflakies that gives it good depth and bling.

Indoors

Pepe's Purple Passion

This is another one where i used 2 coats but could have gotten away with 1. This one disappointed me really. It was promising. The polish is thick and I want to say.. silty? This is the only one I used topcoat on. Even with topcoat it is not amazing. Maybe it needs better lighting? It's a deep murky dirty dark red leaning purple with irregular shimmer particulates.

Indoors

On to the glitters! I don't really need to say much about these individually. I layered them all because that is how I will wear them. For the most part they are all amazingly stuffed with glitter. The only difference being in FFoBA and GMPWI. We have a series of 4 coloured microglitters with medium silver hex. Getting Miss Piggy With it has the addition of red hex glitter. Excuse Moi is different, I will explain it when I get to it. All but Excuse Moi are 1 coat.

Divine Swine + OPI Can You Dig It

Indoors

Gone Gonzo + Kleancolor Beach Blue

Indoors

Fresh Frog of Bel Air + OPI Jade is the New Black

Indoors

Gettin' Miss Piggy With It + Essie Geranium

Indoors

Excuse Moi

This one is a pink jelly with rainbow glitter. It could use some topcoat, but I was too lazy at this juncture. 2 coats.

Indoors

Rainbow Connection over Wet & Wild Black Creme

I am not normally down with the clown barf but I like this! Not terribly original but the formula is good and I like it damnit!.

Indoors

All in all I do not regret purchasing this entire collection. It filled some gaps in my collection, the formulas are all excellent, the glitters are fabulous and I am spent. Swatching all frigging day is hard work!

Peace out
