What is this??

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Jeez, I've been slacking on this whole blog thing. A lot has happened since January and a lot of manicures have gone by where I kept thinking to myself, "I really should snap this quick to post on my blog later." FAIL!

Something really exciting that happened in my life recently was getting an acceptance letter to graduate school! Whaaat?? I know! I am finishing up these last few weeks of undergrad school and will be graduating on May 10th! After that I will be moving to the cities to start a new life there! Since I have to move out of my current apartment by May 15th I have been working on packing up my polish. I used to have it all set out on top of my dresser but I have now moved them to one of those ugly, clear, white, plastic, cheap storage thingys.

There they all are in their temporary home. I have about 380 bottles now and have actually been slowing down on buying polish since it is a lot to move.  Hopefully when I settle into a new place I will find a new, more attractive way to store my polish.

NOPI-Kardashing Through the Snow & China Glaze-Glitter all the Way

Wow it's 2013 and it is back to reality for me since classes start on Monday. I had a nice break spending time with some close friends and family and I hope everyone else had a nice time too. 

I actually have a swatch today and it is all about glitter. For some reason when I painted my nails the other day I just could not get enough glitter. I started my manicure with a base of black polish then I used two kinds of glitter polish for this manicure the first is Nicole by O.P.I- Kardashing Through The Snow

Kardashing Through The Snow is a clear based multi-glitter polish with green, gold, red, sliver and blue. This color is from the 2012 Kardashian Kolor Holiday collection. 

The second polish I used is China Glaze-Glitter All The Way. This is also a clear based multi-colored glitter. It has gold, green, red and purple glitter, very Mardi Gras-esque. This polish is from the China Glaze 2012 Holiday Joy Collection. 

This is the manicure with the flash on my cell phone. I used one coat of glitter for each of the polishes using first Kardashing Through The Snow and on top of that Glitter All The Way. For the most part Glitter All The Way is the only color you really see however some silver does peak through from the Kardashian Kolor. 

Here is the manicure again without the flash. I should have taken pictures of my nails as I added the different glitters so I will keep that in mind for next time. All in all it ended up being enough glitter.
