Glitter Fail

After buying a promising coupler at Icing, I thought this weekend would be the perfect time to try them out. I give you Sinful Color's Midnight Blue and Icing's Magnetic Attraction.

Yeah, pretty boring. I was hoping for a full coverage glitter and used the sinful as a "just in case" background. This is after 3 coats of the Magnetic Attraction ladies and gents.

So I guess I learned not to buy off brand polish from fashion store chains. Ta Da!

Next time I'll show you another off brand polish from a fashion store chain, this time with good results!

Blackout take 2

Okay, so I promised another shot at Icing's Blackout, this time on my fingers instead of toes! While it's by no means a dupe of Nfu.Oh GS-14, it's passable enough to keep me from spending $12.50.

I added a topcoat of Sally's Mirror Shine, to mixed results. It give it an even more fab shine in low lite or yellow light, but under the florecents at the office the shine makes it impossible to see any of the holo glitter. Like the Nfu.Oh, it's best viewed outdoors.

Here's an up-close shot. As you can see, there was a tiny bit of shrinkage, both at the tip and at the cuticle. I've worn it for about 2 days now and I only have minimal chippage, which is impressive based on the amount of typing I do.

More marbling to come this weekend!
