NEW Wet n Wild's in Canada & 2 glittery looks


This is 2 coats of Billie French White, followed by Billie Amethyst sponged on the tips and 1 coat of Icing Passion hap haphazardly layered on top then 2 coats of Sally Hansen Strobe light followed by TC.

I must note that I had worn my nails plain white for a day and a half before I fancied it up - That might be a new record for me as I am not a fan of pure white mani's for some reason.

Sponging the area before applying glitter on a glitter tipped mani like this sometimes gives the illusion of an all glitter area. I tend to do this look alot and I am usually happy with how it turns out - regardless of the colours I use.


I looooove that there are different sizes and shapes in Sally Hansen Strobe Light, and I am glad that I used the pinkish shimmery and dense Icing polish, Passion, before I added the Sally Hansen glitter.



Yippee = the Wet n Wild Fast Dry polish's have landed in Canada!!!!! I am a little disappointed with the brushes in these -they seem very stiff- like the brush on my Wet n`Wild Wild Orchid polish. All the other polish's I have from wet and wild have lovely brushes..... weird


EDIT: these can be found at Walmart 2.89 CAD and Zellers 2.99 CAD

I then stroked on polish straight off the brush to fill in any sparse areas towards the tips of my nails

...and another glitter mani



  I started with 2 coats of a pretty chrome polish and added glitter to the tips of my nilsd, and glittered up my entire ring nail. This is the large hex glitter from this hallowen sample package I found at the dollar store. I applied clear polish to the tips of my nails and sprinkled on the holo hex glitter.  When I was happy with my glitter coverage I added 2 coats of TC. These pieces of glitter were far to big for a glitter sprinkle mani.













Here is a photo of another pretty glitter sprinkle mani I did in summer-time. I didn't think that the size of the glitter would be a factor but a smaller size seems to be a better choice for the future.

 The holo glitter in this manicure is much smaller than the one in THIS POST.

    I just copied your manicure from one of your last posts.
    The "copy of a copy"
    Except I used gold, black and white.

    Your killing me with these gorgeous manicures. Each one is superb. I love all that glitter! I never wear white polish. I have about 6 bottles of it! The Dollar Store always seems to stick white in with another polish. Now I know what to do with them.

    Lydiane Gaborieau - I shop at dollar stores.... every once and a while they get a big shipment of discontinued polish, I always ask when they expect one to come in then stalk the store....

    elizabeth - Thank you ! I will check out your blog.

    jaljen - Thanks! That first mani is fool-proof and easy to do.

    Minty - Thanks!

    Queen of crap - Billie white is very pigmented but dries very fast,

    Lucy - Thnaks Lucy, you should try and franken some pale spring and summer polish's!!!
