♥ Sally Hansen 'Diva' Mattified & Glittered ♥

~ Sally Hansen 'Diva' - Matte-ified & glittered up ~

2 coats of N.Y.C. 'Skin Tight Denim'
2 coats of L.A.Girl Ridge Filler ( a matte-i-fier )
2 coats of Pure Ice 'Cheatin'


I thought this Sally Hansen 'Diva' polish would be waaaaaay more opaque, I did a little test in the store and thought that it wouldn't be so sheer..... oh well~ it's still pretty! I did a skittles HERE of with this Sally Hansen Polish without the N.Y.C. as a base for layering....This is 2 coats of  N.Y.C. 'Skin Tight Denim', and 2 coats of Sally Hansen 'Diva'.


I matte-i-fied this polish with L.A. Girl Ridge Filler,  then added some Pure Ice 'Cheatin' a gorgeous glitter  -with no guides-  on the diagonally to the corner of my free edge. The glitter is a little lumpy, and I could totally use some T.C. but this mani did not last long..... there were too many bumps and marks and so  I took it off later in the evening and did something else. I would love to have a satin finish polish in this shimmery purple  color.....


Thankfully when I wore this polish there was some sunshine. I love the Pure Ice polish's I picked up in the U.S.A. and try to incorporate them into a mani/pedi whenever I can. ♥

♥ Billie -'Electric Pink' ♥



~ Above - Shade ~

~ Pictured Billie 'Electric Pink' & Billie 'Electric Fuchsia' ~



Photos indoors under fluorescent lighting are the most accurate photos of this polish. These Florescent & Neon Polish are way easier to photograph when { if & when }they are matte and in the shade or indoors.- I have decided that I will not drive myslef nutz trying to get quality photos in the sun of bright colors such as this.....Especially with a shiny reflective top coat. This is the 'Electric Pink' form the Billie Electric Shimmers collection.....a very bright polish. Basically I think these are just the Billie 'Neon 2' collection ( seen HERE ) with some blurple Shimmer thrown in to jazz them up. But I ain't complaining,.... I love these Billie Polish's and am always delighted when they get a new shipment at one of my favorite discount stores in my town.

Anyhoo- here is 1 million photos, 3 coats ( surprise!!!... I thought this would be 4 or 5 ) no top coat. I plan on doing some 'nail art' soon.

Billie - 'Electric Purple' & L.A. Colors 'Lollipop' = T.O.T.M-W.

T.O.T.M-W.

3 coats = Billie 'Electric Purple
2 coats = L.A. Colors 'Lollipop'
1 coat = China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat


Instead of applying 4 coats of the very pretty L.A. Colors Lollipop - I have layered it over Billie Electric Purple' and am happy to say that 5 coats of polish, plus 1 coat of China Glaze Fast Forward dried pretty fast.... Sine this is my first time using L.A. Colors, I am impressed and hope that the other 2 L.A. Colors polish I picked up on my North Dakota U.S.A. haul will dry just as fast alone & with C.G. Fast Forward. This is a sheer polish - it is not as streaky in real-life as it is in these photos.....weird.


At the end of my post is photos of my toez without the 'Lollipop'..... Just 3 coats of Billie Electric Purple, and no top coat. These Electric Shimmers for Billie Cosmetics are a Satin /Matte Finish ( and dry super-duper fast ) The L.A. Colors is very pretty - but sheer and I did not want to apply like, 4 or more coats so I layered it over the Billie 'Electric Purple'. Also I have included and adorable mini dish drainer rack photos from Canadian Tire ( a automotive/home store in Canada )
