Rainbows and Unicorns!

I found a manicure on the Makeup Alley Nail Board that I was entranced by.

Hey! (I thought) I could do THAT!

This is the blog link:

All Lacquered Up CosmoProf Round Up

I won't post the photo because I don't have permission to do so, however if you scroll down you will see a dark charcoal manicure with some holographic glitter on top.

So, below, is my copy:

I used the following:

1) no name dark charcoal shimmer. This was in a 5-pack at Ross. I've used the nude before as well as the gold (the seashell post w/gold over pink). This was 3 coats and MAN(!!!) did it dry fast! I secretly want to find out WHO manufactures these polishes! They wear well, dry fast and are easy to use! This is why I am not a brand snob. You never know what you will find out there!
2) Cover Girl City Lights. A good standby! Generous with the glitter!
3) Borghese Perfetto, this is for trying to drag the holo glitter down into the nail a little more. Not 100% success, but still, practice doesn't hurt!


Close up:

This was all taken under a daylight corrected lamp, so the holo glitter doesn't quite stand out.

But, it was fun trying out something new!

Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
