I’ve used two coats of Wednesday as a base and then did gradient tips with Zuza. That was not contrasting enough so I added gradient China Glaze Optical Illusion.

Today I have an awesome multichrome glitter from Hits Phenomena Collection to show you guys! It’s Moonbow, which is my favorite of the 4! The Phenomena Collection is 4 multichrome glitters, they look a lot like the Ozotic Elytra polishes if you’ve seen those (528, 529 & 530).
Strippy McStrip Stripe Na...
This is my first time trying striping tape! I decided to get one from Born Pretty Store to see if we would get along and I’m pleased to report we’ve become good friends. I’ve purchased a set of ten rolls from eBay here for an absolute bargain of 99p so prepare for more stripy nails in the future.
Leaping leopards
I started off with a base of OPI My Vampire Is Buff and did the leopard print in Essie Where’s My Chauffeur? and Wet N Wild Wild Shine Red Red. I sealed everything in with Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat.

Revlon Elusive is a black base with blue glitter. This is another polish I picked up at Target not too long ago, I don’t think I’ve actually seen it anywhere else unless it’s just been sold out or something. I’m not sure if it was meant to be matte but it dried to a satin matte finish and I liked the way it looked so I added a matte top coat on top of it instead of a shiny one. The formula was good, it was nice and opaque and the black base didn’t hide the glitter which was nice. I used 2 coats for the photos below.

Sloth is from the 7 Deadly Sins of Summer collection from Nostalgic Nail Lacquer. Sloth has orange, burgundy and copper glitter. This is a pretty awesome glitter. The formula was beautiful – not too thick and not too thin – and I only needed to dabble just a little bit to get glitter placed where I wanted. If I let Sloth thicken a bit I could easily wear it without layering but I like to layer.

Bad Apple 3D Arkansas is a blue duochrome with a shift to dark blue and purple. In its lightest it almost looks like turquoise, it’s very beautiful! I’ve applied one coat over China Glaze Tongue & Chic which is dark emerald/teal shimmer. The formula was easy to apply but not very pigmented. I would need three coats for full coverage so I’ve layered it over darker nail polish. Dark or black polish makes the duochrome effect to stand out much more and you’ll need just one coat of 3D Arkansas.

This is Zoya Charla, and she is outstanding! Magical! This is sort of similar to Color Club Metamorphosis, but they are definitely not dupes of each other. Charla has large glass flecks and a duochrome in the base that flashes green (not blue/purple like in Metamorphosis). I love blue and teal polishes, so I am very happy to have both of these beauties! =)
Caviar Collection
Dance Legend Zebrasoma is a cool blue jelly loaded with micro hexes and squares in black and white. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. I absolutely adore this one! Shown is two coats of Zebrasoma.

I Love Nail Polish Reminisce is a bright green that shifts to a deep teal then blue. The finish is seriously chrome. I wore this one out and got stopped three times…I kid you not. Again, I used three coats.
