Share the Love: Day 5. Wrapping up my 5 Days of Glitter!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and if you are shopping today or already did your shopping on Black Friday, I hope you get everything you need and don't get trampled lol! Today is the last day in my journey with four other amazing bloggers in our Share the Love week. We each did a guest post on each other's blogs and we're finishing up the week by posting our last themed mani on our own blogs. As you may know, my theme for the week was glitter (honesly.. are you surprised? lol). I figured in honor of Black Friday and the big kick-off for Christmas shopping I would do a Christmas themed glitter manicure. I really like how this came out!




What I used:
OPI- Natural Nail Base Coat
Sally Hansen - French manicure natural color
China Glaze - Twinkle Lights (tips)
Sinful Colors nail art - Be My Valentine (red)
Sinful Colors nail art - Jungle (green)
Seche Vite - top coat


Don't forget to check out my guest posts from this week on everyone's blog! I really enjoyed doing this with such great bloggers! I met several awesome people and I am thankful for that! :) You girls ROCK!

Nicole by OPI Holiday collection swatches & review

Hello, all! When I got paid earlier this week, I went to target and bought all four of the new LE Holiday polishes that Nicole by OPI came out with.for this season. Instead of swatching all four of them separately, I did one on each finger because as we all know... glitter is a b*tch to remove! lol. This first picture is three coats topped with Seche Vite.

L-R: Snow-Man of my Dreams, Orna-ment for Each Other, Glitter in my Stocking, My Sleigh's in the Shop
These are GORGEOUS!!

Okay this next shot is one coat of each:
As you can see, this glitter is pretty dense. Obviously not a one-coater but not too sheer either.

This is two coats of each: 
You could probably get away with only two coats, especially if you are using this over a base color. MSITS covers the best and is actually similar to Orly - Bubbly Bombshell.

And last, this is three coats (with no top coat) 
Sorry for the blurry-ish picture... this really shows all of these glitter though!

Snow-Man of my Dreams- This is polish is a medium blue packed with multi colored glitter. You can see a lot of gold, silver, red & purple. It is probably my favorite out of the collection! Very unique in my opinion.. I don't have anything even CLOSE to this!

Orna-Ment for Each Other-  This is fantastic holiday color! Bright cheery red with lots of gold micro-glitter. I really love this one and I don't usually care for red!

Glitter in my Stocking- This is a very nice gold with plenty of red micro-glitter in it. It covers very nicely and is a great gold glitter to add to your collection!

My Sleigh's in the Shop- This is beautiful fuchsia glitter with gold micro-glitter. I was iffy about this one at first because I normally do not care for this type of color but after seeing it in person I HAD to have it! This polish also covers the best and is most densely packed with glitter.

Over all, I realllyyyyy love this collection. The colors are simple yet very eye-catching and a must have for the holidays! Nothing say holiday like GLITTER! 


I hope you all enjoyed seeing these swatches! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)
