Cult Nails Riot, Orly Sparkling Garbage and Lac Attack Muggles

Hey everyone! I can't believe how long it's been since I blogged!!! Now that I've finally graduated college, I hope I can blog more regularly now. I graduated a week ago and hauled a bunch of polish in celebration. I used some of my new pretties for this mani :)

I started with two coats of Cult Nails Riot. This is such a gorgeous color! I love it a lot. Great application.

Then I used Lac Attack Muggles (a Harlow and Co. exclusive) and Orly Sparkling Garbage as an accent nail.

I think the colors in Muggles works perfectly with this color! I also think Riot is a great base color for Orly Sparkling Garbage. Sparkling Garbage applies great. Muggles takes two coats with some glitter fishing, but I think it was worth it :)

And I'll leave you with a macro shot of Muggles in all it's shredded glory!

Polish Day: Jelly Sandwich

Polish Days is when a group of blogger get together and each do a themed manicure together! Today's theme is jelly sandwich!

I started with two coats of OPI My Pointe Exactly. I had two glitters I wanted to use so I decided to do a "martini accent". For my glitters I used Icing Shredded on my thumb through middle finger and Lush Lacquer Midnight Affair on my ring and pinky. Then I topped it off with two more coats of MPE.

When I saw that OPI was releasing a grey jelly, I wanted it specifically so that I could use it in a jelly sandwich with black glitter. I really like it!

Here it is before I topped of the sandwich. I will definitely have to use these glitters over just a grey without sandwiching it soon. Love this!

Summer Challenge: Jubilee Street Party

I really had no idea to do for this mani. I've never been to a street party or been under the rule of a queen. The whole concept was foreign. Then I was looking through my untrieds and found Icing Pre Game, which is perfect for a party!

I paired it with Wet n Wild How I Met Your Magenta. I bought this polish purely because of the name. I LOVE HIMYM! I've even dressed up as Robin Sparkles once. I'm glad I bought it because this color is seriously fantastic. Even though it was kinda thin, I didn't have problems with cuticle problems and it applied really well! This was 3 coats. For some reason, any pink that I wear I put on 3 coats and still have VNL. I wasn't too concerned this time since I was layering over it.

And then Pre Game!!! I love love love this polish! It applied really well and I want to put it over everything! Seriously fun. And it's a party in a bottle! This was one coat (with no glitter "plopping", just normal strokes). I could not stop staring at my nails!
