I love the way it turned out, very pretty but subtle, with just a slight lightening at the tips. I am likely going to try something more dramatic next time. The shatter seems to really cover the transition from one color to another. I literally just painted the top half of the nail one color, the bottom half the other color and then put a coat of black shatter on top with a clear coat to seal it all in. Hope you like it as much as I do :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I love the name of the set and the dance theme! Such a great addition to my collection!! The only bummer is that this set only includes the mini polishes and I already want a full size <i>Dancing in the Dark (</i>PS this is probably my most fav name for a nail polish EVER!!), to replace my already running low mini bottle :( One bonus is that the mini sized polishes are now a miniature version of the original lippmann bottle (that I love), instead of the previously used little blah, square bottles.<br />
<br />
Like always the formula of these polishes is fantastic. There is something different about these new glitters. They go on very opaque with the smaller glitter taking up most of the space and the larger glitter filling in the gaps. It gives a foiled, metallic look and they are extremely textured, even after a couple of clear top coats the nail still had a textured feel. I honestly love them all, although I do partially favor <i>Dancing in the Dark</i> - a silvery, grey polish with these gorgeous rainbow-colored glitter bits that are just so sparkly! See swatches below :)<br />
<br />
As with most glitter nail polish it is difficult and annoying to remove. I find the easiest way to remove glitter is to soak the nail bed with a cotton ball saturated with nail polish remover for a couple of minutes and the nail polish slides off a little easier. If anyone has any better tips please make sure to comment :)<br />

I really love the color and creamy finish. I have tried it in a couple different combinations with a bunch of different glitters, and my favorite is by far this combination with <i>Across the Universe </i>from deborah lippmann overtop. It creates this really pretty starry night look. I love the random large chunks of glitter with the blue shimmery glitter throughout. So pretty!!!<br />

Overall, I really like this collection. It is neutral and earthy. The pretty-much-perfect formula of the five polishes that I have tried go on almost opaque after one coat, and I paint pretty thin coats. Two coats for the perfect streak-free finish.<br />
<br />
I ended up grabbing <i>Road House Blues</i> and the mini set for myself (after buying it for a friend, I regretted not buying it for myself and HAD to go back for it ;)). Swatches below (all with two coats)!<br />

It is the only full size polish I have bought from this collection so far :/ I also caved and bought the mini set for myself after buying it for a friend, when I get a chance to post it (prolly tomorrow), I will put the link to where I talk about and swatch it <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/08/opi-touring-america-collection-2011.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
It's the perfect polish for me this week, because the name <i>Road House Blues</i> is kinda appropriate? I am heading out on the road to the East coast, not the East coast of America, actually Canada - but still! I am going to wear this polish on my nails all the way there :)<br />
<br />
I love this color. It is perfect for fall. Such a nice, creamy dark blue. It is so dark it almost appears to be black in the right light. It looks really great under a topcoat of glitter too! Perfect for an upcoming NOTD ! :)<br />
<br />
What are you wearing on your nails this week?<br />

I also swatched her Nicole by OPI collection <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/07/nicole-by-opi-polish-swap.html">HERE</a>, if you're interested in checking it out?<br />
<br />
The <i>Silver Shatter</i> was released with the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection earlier in the spring. If you want to know more about the collection I talk about and swatch some of the collection <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/06/opi-pirates-of-caribbean-on-stranger.html">HERE</a>. If you are interested in more shatter polishes I swatch and talk about some of them in my Crackle Madness blogpost <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/07/crackle-madness.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
I don't know why but I just didn't grab the <i>Silver Shatter</i> by OPI. I didn't think it looked like it shattered properly whenever I would see it on other people. However, I really liked my experience with it. I think the thinner the coat the better the shatter, which is pretty much always true with everyone I have tried, but with the <i>Silver Shatter</i> I feel this is especially true. I love the way it looks over really dark colors.<br />

I have been thinking about starting this series for a while now. It is hard to think of something new or creative in the blogging world, especially when it comes to nail polish, as it has almost all been done before. I hope you guys enjoy reading it :)<br />
<br />
This is my first entry in a series of blogposts that I would like to start on inspirational women. Each post will focus on one inspirational woman and a nail polish that I feel would most likely represent their style or has been associated with them in some way through the name of the polish or collection. Hopefully, it is not too cheesy? Us ladies have to stick together, ya know?!<br />
<br />
First up! Ella Fitzgerald and the nail polish <i>Emerald Fitzgerald</i> from China Glaze.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzRL1d7EJVOTkYikIpIMwLxxvnZh_4f9r3pFXCyW9AObXLe-u_8PnjCilvEtttNifU6TF4qYFrEHO9EZzgQGl5o2_xG5mqCv1_wxGvlDoF9Hp7iSkZCLfCVdN2eDvvSx92aly19Qitu4/s1600/Picture+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzRL1d7EJVOTkYikIpIMwLxxvnZh_4f9r3pFXCyW9AObXLe-u_8PnjCilvEtttNifU6TF4qYFrEHO9EZzgQGl5o2_xG5mqCv1_wxGvlDoF9Hp7iSkZCLfCVdN2eDvvSx92aly19Qitu4/s1600/Picture+3.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I am sure everyone knows, but just in case you don't Ella Fitzgerald is one of the most popular female jazz singers ever. Nicknamed "The First Lady of Song", she won 13 Grammy's and sold over 40 million albums in her lifetime. Born in Virginia in 1917, Ella had a series of rough patches in her life starting when her parents separated shortly after her birth, leaving her mother Temperance to take care of her on her own. Ella and her mother moved to Yonkers, NY where they ended up living with Temperance's longtime boyfriend. When Ella was 15 her mother died as a result of a car accident, and her stepfather died of a heart attack shortly afterwards. Ella and her younger sister went to live with her mothers sister. All of this seemed to impact Ella as her grades dropped and she started skipping school. After being taken into custody by the police she was sent to a reform school, which she was eventually released from.<br />
<br />
In 1934 when Ella was 17 she won the chance to preform in a Amateur Night at the Apollo. Ella went prepared to dance but after watching the opening act of dancing sisters she felt she would never compare with, she changed her mind. On stage she made a last minute decision to sing a song written by Connee Boswell that she knew well. Overwhelmed with her performance the crowd demanded an encore and from that moment on Ella's career took off.<br />
<br />
As Ella once said... "It isn't where you came from, it's where you're going that counts."<br />
<br />
And the swatches of <i>Emerald Fitzgerald</i> by China Glaze...<br />

Hope you all have a nice day :)<br />

It is a gorgeous gold glitter that is so perfect for summer evenings, it really catches the light from indoor lighting and candlelight. I also noticed when I read at night the glitter reflects on my book, like a disco ball - sooo neat :)<br />

</div><i>Boom Boom Pow</i> was released last August as part of the 2010 Holiday Collection with <i>Today Was a Fairy Tale . </i>It doesn't layer to be solid, as you can see in the swatches below, but I really like that. I think it looks best on its own, but it also looks lovely layered over a base color. I plan to use it in an upcoming NOTD layered over another base color... and I use it on the bling finger in this <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/08/notd-purple-with-purpose-by-opi-with.html">NOTD</a> over <i>Purple With a Purpose</i> by OPI. So check those swatches out too :)<br />

What have you been sporting on your nails this past week?<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a great weekend :))<br />

TIP: When you're impatient or just don't have the time to sit around letting your nails dry... after about 5 minutes of air drying, dunk your fingers in a bowl of ice water for a minute or so to set and harden your nail polish. You will still have to be careful but not nearly as careful as just air drying alone. :) Hope this tip helps?!?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76484174700471209.post-77941768612700690352011-08-10T06:00:00.000-07:002011-08-10T06:00:08.488-07:00NOTD: I Lily Love You from OPI Nice StemsJust a quick nail of the day for all my lovely followers, <i>I Lily Love You</i> from the OPI Nice Stems Collection. I talk about the collection and have swatches of <i>Be A Dahlia Won't You?</i> <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/06/opi-nice-stems-summer-2011-collection.html">HERE</a>. So check that out for more info.<br />
<br />
Basically, I am a sucker for glittery nail polish. I don't know why? It just looks so darn cute in the little jar :) I hate taking glitter nail polish off and I honestly prefer a jelly or cream finish, but I have a hard time turning down a new glitter. I almost did this time but figured it was fate when I saw it in the store months after the collection was released! I am glad I didn't turn this one down. It is really pretty with its different size and color, kind-of-flaky glitter pieces?!... and I like that the jelly base is pink and not clear. It looks nice on its own and over other solid nail polish colors as you can see <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/07/notd-swimsuit-nailed-it-from-opi-miss.html">HERE</a> where I did a NOTD with <i>I Lily Love You</i> over <i>Swimsuit...

<br />
This weeks favorite has definitely been <i>Shocking Pink</i> from the China Glaze Neon Collection '2008, which is exactly as it says shocking pink. I LOVE this polish because it is such a bright, neon bubblegum pink color. It demands attention:) A very fun summery color that is perfect for August.

The formula is similar to the Celtic Sun Neon by China Glaze that I review <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/06/china-glaze-celtic-sun-neon.html">HERE</a>. It takes about three to four coats to be opaque and dries matte. I don't really like the matte look, so I go over it after with a nice glossy topcoat. It seems to chip fast, but I have also been messing around with boxes so who knows? :/<br />
<br />
What are your favorite polishes for the week??<br />
<br />
Oh and I was thinking... Maybe I should do a monthly favorites blogpost? with/instead of my favorite polish of the week? What do you guys think?<br />

</div>Just thought I would post some pictures of my nail of the day. Purple nail polish has been everywhere in this years fashion magazines as one of the hot nail colors for fall (eek, not already! ). I think I was subconsciously brainwashed after looking through a mini stack of magazines last night! ;)<br />

It is totally worth grabbing if you have always wanted <i>Happy Birthday</i> but haven't had the chance to grab it yet. The set is offered at a much cheaper price than the full price for each bottle would be, you basically get one for free, so that is nice.<br />

I love the two newest editions to the glitters. <i>Candy shop</i> is just the cutest nail polish that really reminds me of gumballs. I love it so much I am having a hard time taking it off!. <i>Forget You</i> is <i>Happy Birthday</i> with a black base. The black base with the different colored glitter really makes the different colored sparkles stand out! The swatches are below! What do you guys think??<br />

This is the cutest nail polish EVER!! haha For real though. It is really cute. The name 'Candy Shop' totally suits it because it honestly reminds me of gumballs.<br />
<br />
The formula is very nice... should be for the price ;) In all honesty though, I do think it is worth paying a little extra for something special sometimes, especially considering the slow rate that I go through nail polish. And I really love Deborah Lippmann polishes, some of them are pretty unique and the bottles are really nice. They also make perfect, affordable presents for friends birthdays - especially with names like 'Happy Birthday'.<br />

A good way to feel like you just went on a massive shopping spree, without having to spend a penny... That is my kind of shopping! :)<br />
<br />
Here are some colors from the Nicole by OPI collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-s4XdKCqduScD-PvATJkmHGvPyfOKL6TrSlwio1m6xcfs63xlS0-l8aMueTm4nqzu0wCuwAAK37mlmmQVckiI6oJKlA4kh-CTY0ZafO5QZRJhKLIS2mwnuIHYxZ9ROKdimBMCMmSE2Ec/s1600/IMG_0900.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-s4XdKCqduScD-PvATJkmHGvPyfOKL6TrSlwio1m6xcfs63xlS0-l8aMueTm4nqzu0wCuwAAK37mlmmQVckiI6oJKlA4kh-CTY0ZafO5QZRJhKLIS2mwnuIHYxZ9ROKdimBMCMmSE2Ec/s320/IMG_0900.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From left to right: 'Love Your Life', 'The Right Thing', 'Believe it, Do it', 'Miss Independent' and 'My Lifesaver'.</div><br />
Of course the first one I grabbed at was the slightly darker than mint polish, called 'My Lifesaver'. I don't know why, but I always gravitate towards light creamy colors. I once again did not like the brush/finish, whatever it is that causes the tiny little vertical lines. When I reviewed the only Nicole by OPI I have '"Baby" Blue' <a href="http://polishesandpleasantries.blogspot.com/2011/06/nicole-by-opi-one-less-lonely-girl.html">HERE</a> I had the same problem. I wanted to love it but it just goes on so horribly that I just can't :(<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next I went for 'Miss Independent, which is this pretty pinkish-purplish metallic silver color. I really like this one. It seemed to go on streak/line free and the formula was nice. The color is also pretty lovely too!!

</div>Followed by 'The Right Thing' - kinda a weird name?! But a pretty shimmery coral orange polish with a nice glow to it that the camera just will not capture. The brush on this polish is the original small version that was replaced by the stubby wide brush, although I wish it wasn't - I really prefer this brush.<br />
<br />

Next, 'Believe it, Do it', a shimmery hot pink fuchsia color. A pretty pink shimmery color that I feel like I have seen a thousand times before.! Although, if I loved pinks like I love reds, I probably wouldn't feel that way. So to each her own! ... is that the saying? It seems awkward?!<br />

And Finally, 'Love Your Life', the clear glittery nail polish with light pink hearts. I found this one to be a pain. It might be nice to have around for a heart or two per nail on Valentines or something, but I honestly found it a little too tricky and messy to work with. It does not swatch very nicely on its own so I have layered it over 'My Lifesaver' so you can see it. You have to kinda place the hearts where you want them with a toothpick, or maybe something similar, then lightly paint over the hearts with the glittery gloss afterwards.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ya, I am a little late posting this collection :/ . I bought the mini collection back when it was released and have been slowly using it since then. I really didn't love it that much when it came out, but I have grown to love a couple of the shades (specifically 'Step Right Up' and 'So Many Clowns So Little Time').</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As far as light, creamy colors go, this formula was amazing! For me they went on streak-free, even with one coat, however for all of them you need much more than one coat to get them opaque. I do paint relatively thin coats, so if you tend to paint thicker coats then you might find you need less. 'I Juggle Men' is really pretty as a shimmery top coat but it almost impossible to photograph on its own. Swatches with 3 coats below :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Nailed it!' Swatches!OPI releases the Miss Universe Collection in August '2011. It is already circulating around in my area, so you might find it where you live too? I was only able to grab 'Swimsuit... Nailed it!' - the others were sold out by the time I saw them:( I honestly was not entirely sure if I even wanted it or not because it reminded me of 'Blue Iguana' by China Glaze at first.<br />
<br />
I am so glad I decided to get it. The formula and pigmentation is what makes this polish so great. It is a gorgeous shimmery navy that is opaque with two coats... it was almost perfect with one coat :) I also would really love to get 'Crown Me Already!', a gorgeous silver chunky glitter!!<br />

To show the differences between the two polishes I put two coats of 'Blue Iguana' on the ring finger to compare. I really noticed the purple shimmer in the 'Blue Iguana' for the first time on my nails this time. I still can't get the purple shimmer to photograph at all. The two polishes are both completely different and both very pretty.<br />

It was hard to get a hold of and somehow more special? Now I feel the crackle thing is out of control. There is every color you can imagine in every brand you can think of (well, maybe not entirely, but you get the point :/ )! It is kinda overwhelming?!?<br />
<br />
I have been hanging onto my crackle collection for awhile now, thinking I should post something but never actually doing it. I have somehow managed to collect five different shatter or crackle polishes over time... and have been seriously tempted to buy more :S I generally paint my nails with shatter when they start to chip and I don't feel like completely repainting them; it covers chips and makes them look freshly painted again!! I have taken some pics of different color combinations that I will share below.<br />
<br />
My shatter and crackle collection, so far...<br />

It's a bright, shimmery turquoise color that is the perfect summer statement color! It has a very nice, streak-free formula that goes on shear, but builds to full coverage. Opaque with three coats.<br />
<br />
I like to put 'Blue Iguana' from this summers '2011 Island Escape Collection by China Glaze, on the ring finger or the pinkie finger, just to add some extra color. Even better, pair with other bright accessories, like pink lips or a bright colored sundress to make your nail color pop :D The swatches are below.<br />
<br />
I am posting this blog entry a couple of days early this week because I will have a nail tutorial (first EVER! Yay!), featured on <a href="http://fleurdeforce.blogspot.com/">Fleur De Force's blog</a> this Sunday, as a part of her *Guest Blog* takeover week (eek... Thanks Fleur!!).<br />
<br />
All China glaze nail polishes are cruelty free and 3-free (without DBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde).<br />

This color is a seriously pretty periwinkle blue. It is so perfect for this time of year and blue is really trendy this summer. For a light, creamy polish the formula is amazing and only requires two coats.<br />

Just to add some extra excitement, I have used a nail art pen by Sally Hansen in 'Blue' on the ring finger. I honestly found it difficult to work with, despite picking a very simple design. I found it bled into the nail polish a bit, and looked a little messy, maybe I didn't wait long enough for the Essie polish to dry before using the pen?<br />
<br />
All Essie nail polishes are manufactured 3-free (without DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde).<br />

AKA Essie 'geranium' swatchesYAY!! I won 'like me' by Essie, an exclusive facebook shade limited to 1500 people. This shade was originally released by Essie as 'geranium'. This is a perfect jelly type polish, the finish is amazing, streak-free, and so pigmented that it was almost opaque after a single coat, which I absolutely love! This red shade is so bright and nice, like a cherry-red with slight orange undertones. This red looks great with warm and cool skin tones. It will for sure be my go-to-red from now on!<br />
