Color Club Worth the Risque

Picked this one up in my haul earlier this week. I really wanted some holo polishes for my collection because I don't have any linear holos and I'm so jealous of looking at pictures of everyone elses haha. I got 3 from color club: Worth the Risque (this one), Wild at Heart, and Fashion Addict. This one had kind of a thick formula so it wasn't the easiest to apply, but it was still totally manageable though. I used 4 coats here to get an even application, but 3 would've been fine. It's not very holo, but I don't care because it's my first linear holo and some holo is better than none =]

Favorite pic of this one! Click to enlarge.

Kinda dark, but it shows the holo pretty well.

OPI Spark de Triomphe & O.P.I. White Shatter

I'm so glad I bought another set from OPI's Serena Williams Glam Slam Collection. Not much to say about this one, except that I LOVE it! Spark de Triomphe has a clear base with 2 different sizes of silver and gold glitter. I believe I used 3 coats here. Then of course, I used white shatter on top. I would have to say that out of the 3 brands of crackle/shatter polishes I've tried (Sally Hansen, China Glaze, OPI) that the OPI shatters have the best formula and work well for me all the time! My pictures really don't do this one justice.

Monarch Butterfly Nails

I have been wanting to try doing a Monarch butterfly mani for weeks now, and I finally got the courage to do it lol. I thought it would be difficult, but it was actually not bad. Maybe it's because I got actual nail art brushes last week that made it pretty easy. I followed this tutorial from Cutepolish on YouTube. She has really great video tutorials if you're looking for some creative ideas! For the base color, I used China Glaze in Papaya Punch, which is my favorite orange right now! The black I used was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out. For the white dots I used Wet n Wild French White Creme. It didn't come out perfectly, but it came out way better than I expected it to. I'll admit, I only did this on my left hand so I'm not that awesome. How many of you nail bloggers out there do one hand manis? Haha just wondering.
