Orly Glam FX Glitters swatches and review

 Hi everyone! Today I have a review and swatches of four of the brand new Orly Glam FX glitters! There are a total of 22 glitters in this collection but so far I only have 4. So let's get started! The first glitter is Sashay my Way. Sashay my way is a clear base packed with large hex gold holo glitter and gold holo bar glitter. This one is pretty simple to apply, I found that I got a decent amount of glitter on each brush stroke, I just had to move around a couple of pieces. This is two coats over black:

Next up is Mermaid Tale. This is my favorite so far! MT is a clear base with tons of small and large teal glitter and teal holo glitter! So gorgeous and goes on like a dream! This is two coats over Orly Le Chateau:

Next is Can't be Tamed with is a clear base with tons of large purple hex glitter and small silver glitter. The formula on this was pretty good, you can probably cover the nail in 2-4 coats depending on how thick you lay it on. Here's two coats over Orly Au Champagne:


Can't be Tamed

And the last glitter I have for you is Spazmatic which is a clear base with large blue hex glitter and small blue microglitter. I was very disappointed with this one. I found it very difficult to get the glitter on my nail even with multiple coats and just trying to place the glitter on my nail by dabbing it on with the brush. and I hardly saw any of the micro glitter on my nail! I was bummed because I was really looking forward to this one, but even in the bottle the glitter sinks to the bottom. Here's my try at two coats over Orly au Champagne:

So these are the only four I have from this collection so far but I will be getting more. These are great especially if you love glitter! Just be prepared to work hard to take these off or use the foil method! These are on sale at Sally's but I think Ulta will have them as well. I hope you found this helpful! Feel free to ask me any questions!! Thanks for reading!!

NOTD China Glaze Sun-Kissed

Hi lovelies! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Last year I did awesome 4th of july nails but I didn't do anything special this year. But I did wear China Glaze Sun-Kissed from the Summer 2012 Neon collection and I looove it! Neons are very difficult to photograph though! Sun-Kissed is a bright highlighter neon yellow with a hint of shimmer. The formula is a little thick but nothing terrible. I like it because it's opaque in two coats. I also used a konad stamp design over it and even though I didn't do the best job with the stamping, I really liked the results. And please don't mind my dry crusty cuticles! Here is two coats:





I'm so loving the new China Glaze neons! I am working on a full review because I picked up like 7 of them! Are you loving neon polish??
