A Butterfly Holiday Hoopla Moment

Today's post is a layering nail polish combo that I truly adore. If you follow me on Instagram, you might've seen this mani a few weeks ago. The glitter layer is Hare Polish Holiday Hoopla, from their holiday 2012 duo released in December. It is a mix of red squares, red hexes in several sizes, satin pale pink hexes, gold glitter and gold shimmer in a clear base. The base color is OPI A Butterfly Moment from the new Mariah Carey collection. It's a lovely peachy nude shimmer frost. The frost is very fine and not streaky at all. I think these two lacquers compliment each other so well!

Hare Polish can be found on Etsy and from US stockist Llarowe. You can buy OPI polishes from salons and professional retailers like Ulta, Trade Secret, JCPenney etc. How do you like my glittery combo?

Some of these products were provided for review.

3 Little Indies

Hi folks! Whoa, January has flown by huh! I can't believe it's almost February. Craziness! Today I'm bringing you three mini indie polishes that I bought this past summer and haven't shown you yet.

First is Pretty and Polished Bubble Tea. It's a very interesting polish, a milky jelly in a yellow slime-ish green color with teeny whitish clear glitter, that reminds me of salt, and black hexes. I layered two coats over OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me from the Germany collection. If you've ever had the real bubble tea, you know this is a spot on interpretation in polish form.

Next is Hit Polish Precious Metal. Bronze, copper, gold, silver and gunmetal colored metallic hex glitters in all sizes with a handful of holo microglitter makes this a stunner! I actually didn't even realize there was holo in it until I stepped into the sun to take this picture and it nearly blinded me! I layered two coats over OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine!. I love this and should actually get around to wearing it again soon!

And last is Hit Polish Halloween. It's a glitter polish with hexes, squares, and bar glitter in purple, green, and orange. I layered two coats over OPI Deutsch You Want Me Baby?. I didn't love this as much as I expected but it's fun enough.

Pretty and Polished nail lacquers can be purchased on their Etsy store and their website. You can get Hit Polish nail lacquers from their Etsy store or their website. How do you like these guys? Have you tried anything from these brands? I love indie polishes! Well, the good ones ;)

China Glaze - United

I picked up one polish from China Glaze's United in Purpose collection, promoting breast cancer awareness, from last fall. It's called United and it is spectacular! It's a collection of deep rose, warm pale gold, and holo glitter bits that shine and twinkle and amaze. It is the same formula as the two glitters in China Glaze's On Safari collection, really dense but very easy to apply. This is two coats.

You can still find this online at multiple e-tailers if you look. How do you like this? I'm still swooning over it :)
