Essie Where's My Chauffeur & gLORIous 22k Goldleaf Topcoat

Hey loves! Today I have a polish I have been lemming for about a month now--Essie Where's My Chauffeur. I finally made a trip to the nail store and got it along with a new collection I'll be showing you tomorrow. Here's Essie Where's My Chauffeur and gLORIous 22k Goldleaf Topcoat. I love love love this Essie color! The gold flakes are cool, but were a pain in the butt to work with. The bottle is packed with gold flakes, but they don't want to stay on the darn brush. It's the second time I tried using it. To get this amount of flakes I ended up having a thick coat of clear and it took such a long time to dry. I prefer to use OPI The Man With the Golden Gun over this one--it may be only 18k, but it's so much easier to get the flakes on my nails.

OPI Black Onyx & China Glaze Beauty Within

Happy New Year! Today I have my New Year's Eve mani that I wore last night. I used OPI Black Onyx with gold hex glitter and China Glaze Beauty Within. I wanted to use more hex glitter, but I was having a slightly difficult time making my lines straight so I re-did it with less glitter. Hope everyone had a fun evening last night and had a great start to the new year!

Color Club Halo Hues Collection Swatches

Hey lacquerheads! Today I have Color Club's Halo Hues collection to show you. I've been wanting this collection for a couple months now, but the nail store I always go to took too long to get it so I ordered one from another polish blogger selling a few sets on Instagram. Thanks Yamii! This collection consists of 6 linear holos. My photos are shown at 3 coats, without topcoat, and with flash.

Here's the photo collage I made for my Instagram in case you want to see a side by side. 


Angel Kiss-light green linear holo.

Blue Heaven--light blue linear holo.

Cloud Nine--light pink linear holo.

Halo-Graphic--pink linear holo.

Cherubic--tan linear holo.

Harp On It--silver linear holo.
I'm completely in love with all of these and so glad I finally added these to my stash!

Orly Frisky & Frolic Gradient & MASH 45

Hey beauties! Today I have a gradient with some stamping to show you. I haven't done a gradient in awhile and thought I'd do one today. I did the gradient using Orly Frisky & Orly Frolic and then stamped using MASH 45 in Konad White. I love the way gradients look with a full nail design stamped over it!
