Glitter Gal - Bluemerang (and some snowbros)

Glitter Gal had a giveaway on their Facebook page the other day. I won me some Bluemerang and Gloss Boss! Unfortunately, Gloss Boss did not make the trip. Let us please take a minute to mourn Gloss Boss.


At any rate, Bluemerang made it okay! I gave it a wipe off. It lost its label, so it is no longer wearing any panties, but I still love it!

It was a bit thick and drying too quickly for me to work well with without raging so I thinned it. This is 3 coats, though 2 careful coats would also work for a lot of people.



Here it is beside Color Club Factory girl. It almost looks white beside it in this pic. IRL it is a sort of perfect baby blue.


So I had this on my fingers and thought.. hmm *strokes air beard* what else can I do with this lovely canvas? It was giving me some proper winter vibes, though I must say when I first put it on I was like dang I need me some sun because this polish makes my pale ass look tan!

I decided that I wanted to make some snow bros with ManGlaze Mayo. I really love the way it looks like sparkly snow. I actually like the way it went all textural on me because it looks more like real snow. I WILL FOOL EVERYONE. I used Wet & Wild Black Creme for the eyes and buttons and hats, OPI A Roll in the Hague for the carrots and Cult Nails Ms. Conduct for the arms.


Do you like how buff the middle finger is? So buff. He is hailing Brodin for his sweet gains. Then there is duder beside him giving the peace sign. So hip.



Glitter Gal polishes can be found here. They have lots of wicked duochromes and holos in addition to their new selection of cremes.

These are indoors but near a window at apx 3 p.m. on an overcast day

Every now and then something surprises you.  I decided to layer Glitter Gal Shade Shifters Daybreak Soft over top.  1 coat in several different lights.

Glitter Gal - Light As A Feather, Frappe & Lizard Belly

A very sweet lady sent these to me. She is having a giveaway right now. You should pop on over! They had to travel quite a way to get to Canada. (apologies for my borked pinky cuticle)

Please click on these pictures for a better idea of what they look like!

Light as a Feather. I tried swatching this one without a base and I didn't like the application. I tried it over a white creme and also did not like. This is 2 coats over top of Barielle Hydrading Ridge Filler. If you have it, you know it dries to a slightly milky finish. Perfect combo.






This isn't a punch in the face holo. Judging from what people had said about trying to franken the mystical white holo with the spectraflair pigment, it is hard to keep it white as the pigment is silver/grey. It is still a holo. It is gorgeous and subtle and I love it.

MOAR!

Sorry for the blurry shot. Illustrates the holo though!



Next up is Frappe. This one is quite sheer. It is a lovely light purpley pink. The holo is much stronger in this one. This is 2 coats no base no top.






Last but not least is Lizzard Belly. Lizzard Belleh. Now I have Outkast stuck in my head. (Lick you like a lizzard when I'm slizzard.)

This is 2 coats no base no top. I will let you know when I remove it if it stains or not. I hope it doesn't.. I just realized now that I put a highly opaque forest green on my nails with no base coat. ANYHOO! This puppy is pretty thick. Very opaque. This is 2 coats but I could have gotten away with 1 if I was more careful. So dark it is almost black, but it is certainly green.






Here is a bottle shot beside Nubar Reclaim


As I was outside taking pictures I noticed that what I thought were white roses are actually green?



also blurry :S

Glitter Gal - Fuchsia & Sally Hansen - Pink Rose Diamond

I've got 2 pink holos for you this lovely Monday morning!

The application of this polish was not like other holos. It was a breeze! I didn't even use a base coat for these swatches. I was thoroughly impressed with the formulas and with the products in general.

Glitter Gals come in teensy bottles (9 ml) but it's 9 ml of awesomesauce!



That bottle.. rawr!




Now for Pink Rose Diamond. My only complaint with Prisms in general is that the bottle shape makes them unsteady. Plenty of times I am applying them and I dip my brush and go to scrape off any excess on the inside rim of the bottle to have it teeter and totter on me :S No spilly Prism!





Curses, I thought I had taken 5 shots of this one. I have issues with symmetry.

Anyhoo! Both have fabulous formulas and both have amazing holo flames. Pink Rose Diamond is still available online at (although more than retail) a really reasonable price if you are in the market for a fantastic pink holo. Spit&Polish seal of approval! Pin It
