Untried Polish Challenge-Glitter

Awww, it's the last installment of this challenge. This has been so much fun, and has gotten so many Untrieds into the Tried column.

I chose to use one of the new Hard Candy line, Sweet Tooth.

This is one coat over just my regular base of OPI Matte Nail Envy. It is a few colors of glitter, both matte and shiny, in a pale blue base.

The rest of my fingers, I put down two coats of OPI I Think In Pink before my one coat of Sweet Tooth. This really pulled out the pink glitter. I liked it better than the plain.

So, I put one coat of I Think In Pink over Sweet Tooth. The milky pink really worked well over this, like half a jelly sandwich.

You can tell the difference between the two layering methods in this picture.

The texture of the glitter didn't bother me, so I decided to forgo topcoat. 

Yeah, that was a mistake. I don't recall what I did, but three fingers on each hand got crunched up within an hour, and I didn't notice them, so they had dried enough that I couldn't flatten them, so off it came. Sad. (But I replaced it with Zoya Blaze, so not so sad after all!)

So, thank you Jo for inspiring us, leading us through this challenge. It has been fun to do and more importantly, fun to read what the others have been doing!

Try It On Tuesday-3/5/13

Just a quickie here because I forgot to post earlier, and now I need to get people to bed.

Back on Black Friday I bought myself an OPI Ger-minis set, and until today only one had been used.

Today, I tried on Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs.

Lovely purple color, I thought it leaned a little magenta rather than blue.
This worked well with my skintone and two coats was all that I needed for my nubbins (not complaining, I keep them this length for work.) I kinda wish I had tried this right away, it would have been a great one for winter vampies.

In order to knock out another untried, I tossed a coat of Black Tie Optional from the new Hard Candy collection. I never expect to even see Connect The Dots in person, let alone use it, so this is my substitute. I can see why it is so popular, though.

All that on my nails is just from one dip! Seriously, I just pulled the brush out of the bottle and applied, and applied, and applied, and applied! I had to move about two pieces of bar glitter around, but it all lay down very nicely. I can certainly recommend this polish, and if the others in the collection are as good, then they would be worth picking up, too.

Good night, all!

Adios!
