Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been able to post lately. I've had some health problems recently. :/ I'll write about it after the jump. This pretty combination was my NOTD before I got sick. I really loved it!</div>

Jewelry Heist is a blend of cool toned gold hexagons, light pink hexagons, and tiny multicolored mylar square glitters in a clear base. The tiny squares are translucent so their colors vary depending on what they are layered over. They really lit up over this shade, creating a lovely opalescent effect. There is something very 1950's about this look that I love! The colors work so beautifully together!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jewelry Heist's clear base is on the thick side but it's not unmanageable. It dries quite smooth and I believe the thicker base is responsible. I only needed to use one coat of my usual top coat to finish this mani. I didn't need to do any glitter smoothing coats at all. My only complaint about this polish (and Spoiled polishes in general) is the brush. It's like a larger version of the Sally Hansen CSM paddle brush. It felt like I was using a mop to paint my nails!<br />
<br />
Baby I Excuse Me is in the Tiffany Blue family. It has less white in it than China Glaze For Audrey and is a notably deeper shade. The formula is perfect; smooth, glossy, and a dream to apply. Two coats creates perfect, even opacity. Dry time is fast. I wish I could provide information on where to buy Baby I. A local nail supply used to stock the brand but they stopped carrying it. :( I wish I would have bought more colors!<br />
<br />
Spoiled polishes retail for $1.99 and are available exclusively at CVS. CVS.com has all the colors available online as well. There are lots of fun colors and glitters! I have color chips of all the ones I got posted <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://twitpic.com/photos/eyedrinkpolish" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">here</span></a>.

<br />
And now a little update on me. I know I don't talk too much about myself on here but I feel like sharing this might help others who have chronic hives (chronic urticaria), hypothyroidism, or Hashimoto's Disease. If hives freak you out at all please don't read the rest of this post as it details really horrible experiences with hives.<br />
<br />
I noticed a few hives on my left arm in December. I have super sensitive skin and terrible allergies so I didn't think too much of it. Two weeks passed and the hives got a lot worse. My arms and hands had large, painful hives. My allergist put me on a five day regimen of Prednisone. I began to improve at first but the hives didn't completely go away.<br />
<br />
The day after I stopped taking the Prednisone was horrifying. My arms and legs were consumed with hives. There were so many hives they began to connect and soon there was very little skin that wasn't covered in hives. They didn't itch. They burned. It felt like my limbs were on fire. The pain was crippling. I didn't know what to do with myself. My allergist put me on an aggressive week long regimen of Prednisone.<br />
<br />
The hives began to clear two days into the regimen. It was such a relief to not be in pain. The hives began to return as soon as I began to taper off the Prednisone in the final days of the regimen. The day after the Prednisone regimen ended I almost went to the hospital. My legs, arms, and hands were covered with even more horrendous hives. Hives also began to form on my stomach, shoulders, and feet. My palms were bright red and my fingers were so swollen I could barely bend them. Again, the hives didn't itch. They burned like fire. I was beside myself. The pain was so bad I broke three of my teeth from clenching my jaw. And then I felt a hive form on the inside of my mouth. I was horrified. I was so afraid that the hives would move into my throat and suffocate me.<br />
<br />
I've had hives a few times in the past but these were by far the worst. Many years ago I had two similarly severe outbreaks and both were caused by the same thing: my thyroid. I have Hashimoto's Disease which caused hypothyroidism. It went undiagnosed for thirteen months during which I had excruciating hives. I finally requested a thyroid blood panel because it runs in my family and I had all the symptoms. The results showed a very severe case of hypothyroidism.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My hives went away within two days of starting thyroid medications. I never knew that chronic hives could be caused by hypothyroidism. When I finally got on the right dosing of the right medicines </span>I started to feel like myself again. All of my symptoms went away. I stayed on the same dosing of the same medications for years without symptoms. My blood work consistently showed that my thyroid levels were good.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
A few months ago I had to go to my primary care doctor for my thyroid prescriptions because my endocrinologist didn't have an appointment for eight months. I was going to run out of medication before the appointment. My primary care doctor had my blood work and my records from my endocrinologist. Despite all this he lowered the dose of one of my thyroid medications. I tried to explain that I'd been on the same dose for years and that I was doing really well. My blood work was perfect. I had no symptoms. But he wouldn't listen. I went on the dose he prescribed and waited for my endocrinologist appointment.<br />
<br />
I was okay at first but soon found myself falling asleep every time I'd try to watch a movie. I felt tired all the time. All my symptoms began to return. And then the hives started. I didn't make the connection until my allergist brought up my thyroid. He wrote for blood work to check my thyroid levels. His nurse advised me to go back on my original dose of thyroid medication if I had extra pills.<br />
<br />
The pain from the hives was so severe I could barely walk. I didn't know how I was going to get to the hospital for blood work. </span>I went back on my original dose of thyroid medications. The hives began to improve for the first time without Prednisone. I went for blood work the next day. My results will be available soon but I already know what they will say. I've continued taking my original dosing of thyroid medications for a week now and my hives have almost completely cleared. It's obvious that they were caused by my hypothyroidism.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
I still have a few hives, swollen hands, and am very weak. I am improving though and I'm not in terrible pain. I'll have my blood work results soon. My allergist also put me on an "allergy diet". I already eat a vegan diet (no meat, no dairy, no eggs). I now have to add nuts, citrus, chocolate, and wheat to the things I can't eat. :( The hardest thing has been not eating wheat! I love bread so much and all the vegan meats I eat are made from wheat gluten. If you guys have any suggestions for wheat free/nut free/citrus free vegan meats or wheat free/dairy free breads I'd love to hear them. I've been living on potatoes, oatmeal, and vanilla soy milk! :/</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Sorry this was soooooooooooo long. If you suffer from chronic hives (chronic urticaria) please be sure to get blood work to check your thyroid. There is more and more evidence linking chronic hives to hypothyroidism. I've read about people who've suffered with horrible hives for over twenty years who never figure out why! This is why I've decided to share what happened to me.<br />
<br />
I hope to be well enough to do my nails in a couple days. I've been dying to paint them! It always improves my mood when I have something pretty on my nails. I have so many lovely things I want to share with you guys! I hope so much to be posting again soon!</span>I Drink Nail Polishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14362730591123297711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740993365804887418.post-41833221569118803812012-01-11T07:15:00.001-05:002012-01-11T16:08:40.839-05:00Lynnderella The Glittering Crowd<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lynnderella's blog describes The Glittering Crowd as having "over 100 different multi-coloured hexagon, square, and bar glitters. Royal blue, chartreuse, red, violet, holographic silver and gold, orange, lime, emerald, teal, cyan, gold, pink, aqua, fuchsia..." Looking into the bottle was like gazing into glitter infinity. I even saw a tiny star and a holographic diamond in there. This is a glitter masterpiece. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ededed;">❤ </span>I love it so much. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ededed;">❤</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Glittering Crowd was easy to apply. The glitters distributed effortlessly into beautiful random patterns on each nail. Additionally, every piece of glitter conformed perfectly to the curvature of my nails. No pokey edges. Dry time was quick. I used my usual glitter smoothing combo, Poshe Super Fast Drying Basecoat followed by Poshe Super Fast Drying Topcoat. Normally I have to use 2 coats of Poshe Super Fast Drying Basecoat to smooth out serious glitters but this mani only needed 1 coat. Nice surprise! Everything about The Glittering Crowd is perfect. :)<br />
<br />
I couldn't choose between the two looks I came up with. The green layering looked like a color riot. The burgundy layering looked like glowing jewels. Both equally appealed to me so I went for it and painted each hand differently. Each looked amazing to me but it felt odd to have such different looks on each hand at first. The next day I was enjoying the contrast. The day after that I was loving it.<br />
<br />
I used Candy Color Green for the green layering. Green is from the Sugar Coated Series, a collection of vibrantly colored polishes with glitter that looks like colored sugar! :) The Sugar Coated polishes are like no other polish that I own. The formula is amazing. They are somehow vibrantly pigmented and opaque without covering up the glitter. The glitter stays in the finish like a sugar coating creating beautiful sparkle and depth. They are very special polishes. I have closeup photos of Green and some of the other colors from the collection in my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://twitpic.com/photos/eyedrinkpolish" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">Twitpic</span></a></span>.<br />
<br />
I used Petites Color Fever Galaxy for the burgundy layering. Galaxy is a burgundy jelly with fine pink glitter. It has a richness to it's look. The formula is nice though I had to be careful around the edges to keep opacity consistent. Here is a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://twitpic.com/85tqgg" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">macro photo of Galaxy</span></a></span> to see what it looks like by itself.<br />

Strobe Lights is a blend of shiny gold hexagon glitter, gold holographic bar glitter, and tiny gold holographic hexagon glitter in a gold tinted base. The gold hexagon glitters are highly reflective like tiny golden mirrors. The gold holographic glitters brilliantly sparkle every color of the spectrum and then some. They are the most holographic gold glitters I've ever seen. Strobe Lights is a true dazzler just like it's namesake.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The gold glitters and the tint of the base are warm toned. Warm tones can be unflattering against my skin so I layered Strobe Lights over black. I love how it came out! It was the perfect super sparkly look for new year's eve!<br />
<br />
Strobe Lights can also be worn alone and is opaque in two to three coats. The glitter is very dense and provides good coverage. The gold tinted base also helps with achieving an opaque look. <br />
<br />
The formula is good. Using thin coats works best - it helps keep the glitter as smooth as possible and more polish can be added as needed. Dry time is very fast so the first hand painted is dry by the time the second hand is painted. Strobe Lights dries extremely shiny but feels rough to the touch so I used <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://idrinknailpolish.blogspot.com/2011/10/tip-tuesday.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">my favorite glitter smoothing combo</span></a></span> to finish this mani.<br />

Dr.'s Remedy Essential Emerald, 3 coats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Essential Emerald is a cool toned green with subtle silvery shimmer. The overall look of the finish is that of a cream in most lighting. The shimmer is only visible in strong lighting like direct sun. The pretty shimmer in the bottle unfortunately doesn't transfer to the nail. The color is similar to OPI Jade is the New Black/Orly Lucky Duck though Essential Emerald is a bit lighter due to the shimmer in the finish. Jade is the New Black is one of my favorite shades of green so I was drawn to Essential Emerald. I just wish the shimmer in the bottle translated to the nail.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Essential Emerald's formula was on the thin side. The first coat was very uneven and there was some patchiness still visible on the second coat. The third coat evened everything out. The finish wasn't very glossy but I always use a high gloss top coat. I used Poshe Super-Fast Drying Topcoat for this mani. Dr.'s Remedy polishes are exclusively available through <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.remedynails.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">their site</span></a></span>.<br />

This lovely Blue Cross Snowman polish has no name so let's call him Green Glitter. Green Glitter is a mix of very small hexagon glitters in emerald green and iceberg lettuce green. The base is clear. This Snowman's glitter is very dense so it could easily be worn on it's own. I like to conserve the pretty though so I layered. This is so wonderfully sparkly! I love it! Blue Cross products are available at Rite Aid in my area though displays may vary. </div>

Bride of Franken is a translucent lavender base awash with bright pinpoint holographic dust, fine pink and blue sparkles, and electric blue glitter in a myriad of shapes and sizes. The flickering sparkles and luminous glitters create a radiant ethereal look. "Your nails are <i>GLOWING!</i>" was the best description of the effect. The Bride's formula was wonderful. The glitter and sparkles distributed perfectly onto every nail. The Bride needs only one coat of top coat. No glitter smoothing needed.<br />

I initially layered The Bride over a dark polish and though she looked lovely I longed for the The Bride's bottle look. I tested a few colors before choosing Revlon Modern Grace. *still swooning over these two polishes together* I know I've said it before but I have to say it again: this look was magical to wear. Magical! :)</div>

A rainbow of beautiful square glitters creates dazzling colorful patterns accented by bold black glitters. Red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple, violet, and fuchsia burst with vibrance amongst the black glitters like fireworks on a night sky. The base of the polish is clear strewn with the finest sparkles in blue, magenta, red, purple, and green. These fine sparkles twinkle above, below, and around the larger glitters creating an overall look that is at once daring and delicate.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love this so much. I think I might cry when I eventually have to remove it. XD <br />
<br />
The formula was great. The glitter distributed easily onto each of my nails. Dry time was quick. The larger pieces of glitter conformed perfectly to the shape of my nails. (No pokey edges at all.) This was truly a pleasure to apply. I was so excited to see what wonderful patterns the polish would make next! Magical.<br />

Here is one more photo to show Finger Paints Psychedelic Sunshine, a yellow jelly filled with sparkling iridescent glitter. It's from the Peace and Love Collection which came out this past summer. I usually have a hard time pulling off yellow polish. The magic of The Fruitcake is definitely at work in this mani. :)</div>

Blue Sapphire is a vivid cobalt blue jelly brimming with fine irregular blue sparkles. The jelly base is slightly sheer but three coats provides full coverage. The sheerness of the base allows the wonderful blue sparkles to shine through and catch the light. This is definitely my favorite of the NK polishes I've tried so far! It's gorgeous!<br />
<br />
I had no application issues and the polish dried to a nice glossy finish. I used Poshe Super-Fast Drying Base Coat and Poshe Super Fast Drying Top Coat for this mani.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
NK Midnight Blue, 3 coats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Midnight Blue is a vibrant jewel toned blue with a hint of shimmer. The shimmer is less noticeable in real life than it is here in macro. Most of the time the finish looks like a cream with a touch of shimmery glow. The color has a lot of pop to it! I really love this shade!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The formula was a bit tricky though. The surface of the polish dries very quickly so if the brush goes over a freshly painted area that has begun to dry it can pull a bald spot. Here are some tips for working with this polish:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ededed; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 16px;">♥ </span>Apply thin coats.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ededed; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 16px;">♥ </span>Wrap the tips first and then do three quick strokes on each nail. Move on to the next nail even if you miss a spot or don't get an edge just right.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ededed; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 16px;">♥ </span>Cover any missed spots and/or correct edges on the next coat. Dry time is fast so the first nail painted is fully dry by the time the other nine get painted.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is another peculiar thing about this polish's formula. It dried to a rubbery matte looking finish with no shimmer. The polish looked flat and dark. The color had no vibrance to it. It looked similar to how certain neon polishes dry. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once I applied my top coat the polish completely changed. The color and finish perked right up. What was on my nails looked like what was in the bottle, a bright glow-y blue. Midnight Blue really needs a good top coat to look like it does in the bottle (and in my photos). For this mani I used Poshe Super-Fast Base Coat and Poshe Super-Fast Top Coat. They worked great! They are my new holy grail combo.<br />

NK Charcoal Navy, 2 coats</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Charcoal Navy is a deep, smoky navy with a fine shimmer finish. It has that beautiful "lit from within" quality where the edges of the nail are darker and the center of the nail is luminous with shimmer. Charcoal Navy is deep and vampy but it never looks black, even in minimal lighting. It's always blue. I'm wearing a shorter nail length right now and this color felt so chic to wear. The formula was really great too. Easy to apply and opaque in 2 coats.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Mystical is, simply put, awesomesauce. Seriously. Awesomesauce. Like magical forest fairies made it from sparkles and rainbows. The small opalescent hexagon glitter sparkles amber, gold, green, and ice blue. At certain angles the glitter has a strong color shift and flashes electric blue with sprinkles of emerald green and teal! *swoons* This is a must-have. It looks beautiful layered over everything. Literally. Everything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mystical has an amazing formula. It's smooth. That's right. Smooth glitter! I only used one coat of regular top coat for this mani and my nails were completely smooth! Mystical's consistency is gel-like and applies very evenly over the nail, distributing the glitter perfectly. This gel-like formula is probably responsible for the smooth texture of the polish. Removal wasn't the usual epic battle but I still recommend using the foil method.</div>

Sugar Plum Yum is a blend of dark purple hexagon glitters in a variety of sizes paired with small bright green hexagon glitter in a clear base. The large purple hexagon glitter gives this mani the feel of a purple leopard print. This is such a fun combination of colors! Purple + green = awesomesauce! The scent is light, fresh, and sugary after the polish dries. It reminds me of pixy stix. Definitely my favorite scent out of the three! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><3</span><br />

Orna-Minted is a blend of silver hexagon glitters in a variety of sizes paired with small gunmetal hexagon glitter in a clear base. The silver glitter is so nice and shiny, almost like little mirrors! The mint scent of this polish was slightly notable during and right after application. It smelled like minty chemicals. Yuck. After it dried there was almost no scent whatsoever. I love the smell of spearmint so I was hoping this would have a sweet minty scent. It doesn't. :/<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Very Merry Berry is blend of bright fuchsia hexagon glitters in a variety of sizes paired with small and fine blue hexagon glitters in a clear base. I loved this one a lot more after I found the right polish to layer it over. The glitter is so vibrant and bright - it really pops! Love this one! The scent reminds me of blue raspberry candy. The scent is really strong. Depending on personal preferences, that could be a good thing or a bad thing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was going for a layered look so I only did one light handed coat of each glitter polish. They are dense enough to wear over a similarly colored base to achieve the look of complete coverage though. For example, 2 coats of Sugar Plum Yum over a dark purple would get very close to the bottle look. I wouldn't recommend wearing any of these alone unless you don't mind peek-a-boo spots.<br />
<br />
The formula is a bit tricky on all three of these polishes. The glitter tends to stick together and clump, especially the large hexagon pieces. I found the best way to apply these polishes is to get a small blob of polish on the brush and spread it over the nail, like icing a cake. I used my cleanup brush to gently disperse any clumping glitter. These polishes all dry quite quickly so I found it best to immediately address any clumping.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is an issue with the formula that causes the larger pieces of glitter to curl a bit. I used my cleanup brush to carefully press down the edges of any particularly problematic glitter. I finished each of these manis with <a href="http://idrinknailpolish.blogspot.com/2011/10/tip-tuesday.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">my favorite glitter smoothing combo</span></a>. The end result was smooth, glossy, and sparkly! <br />
<br />
The curly glitter issue is only really noticeable in macro photos and barely noticeable in real life. With a good glitter smoothing combo and a little fussing these can look really great. <br />

Gingerbread Man is a champagne gold foil with fine silver sparkles running through it. The formula was fantastic. Smooth, easy application. Quick dry time. Gingerbread Man literally smells a gingerbread cookie. It was pleasant after it dried but then I had a veggie burger for dinner and there was a serious conflict of taste and smell happening. Gross. I suggest pairing it with a pumpkin spice chai latte instead. ;D</div>

Santa's Cinnamon is a red jelly filled with sparkling red glitter. I really hope my photos show the beauty of this this awesomesauce. It just GLOWS! Good formula, a little thick but it's not problematic. Definitely needs a high gloss top coat to get shiny/sparkly. I used <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://idrinknailpolish.blogspot.com/2011/10/tip-tuesday.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">this</span></a></span>. Santa's Cinnamon smells like Hot Tamales/Atomic Fireballs/Red Hots...pretty much any cinnamon candy. Yummy. Definitely my favorite of all the scents!<br />

Kiss Me Mistletoe is a light antique green foil with fine silver sparkles throughout. Same great formula as Gingerbread Man. I love the silver sparkles in these foils! The sparkles are part of the actual finish keeping the look flawlessly smooth. Kiss Me Mistletoe smells like a real Christmas tree which was so lovely at first. Outdoors it smelled nice. Indoors it was too much for me. It felt like I had tiny air fresheners for nails. </div>

And just in case anyone is curious... Everything I'm wearing in these photos is vintage. The leopard coat was bought at a charming local antique shop. It's not made of real leopard, lol! The kitteh and kittehn sweater came from a wonderful online vintage shop in Canada. The back of the sweater is all hearts! Both shops closed several years ago sadly. The wildly colored crinkle top is from a local thrift shop that benefits an AIDS charity. It's handwritten price tag said, "Try something different!", so I did. I wore it with yellow pants and bright green wedge heels. ;D</div>

Fortune Teller is a black cream brimming with luminous orange glitters. The orange glitters look like fiery embers glowing from the darkness. I love wearing this polish in the fall and around Halloween.<br />
<br />
Fortune Teller was released in 2009 along with Spellbound (which I never found, *wimper*) as Sally Beauty exclusives. Matte Magic top coat was also released as part of the collection.I Drink Nail Polishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14362730591123297711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740993365804887418.post-91592267020931601662011-10-25T14:40:00.000-04:002012-01-02T01:14:47.722-05:00Lynnderella She Lived in a Swamp<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She Lived in a Swamp is a blend of square and hexagon glitters in a vast variety of different sizes. The main color notes are iceberg lettuce, chartreuse, and moss; with hints of olive and grass. The glitter randomly patterns each nail in the seemingly random ways of nature's green textures. Like gazing upward into an endless array of leaves swayed by a breeze, twinkling light peering through every space...this is infinitely beautiful.<br />

Chelsea Morning Glories has the most dramatic "lit from within" effect I've ever seen. A gleaming silvery blue in the center of the nail gradates to a deep shimmering slate blue around the edges. It reminds me of the wonderful tonal variations in old silk velvet which made Morning Glories the perfect thing to pair with the antique silk velvet millinery decoration shown. The finish is curious; like a foil, a glass fleck, and a sparkle infused shimmer all in one. A truly striking, unique polish.<br />
<br />
<br />
The formula appeared very thin in the bottle, almost the consistency of water. Application was surprisingly nice though, like a thin version of a foil polish - smooth, even, and with no brushstroke marks. It wasn't drippy or difficult to work with. The superfine sparkles caused no bumps or roughness at all. Dry time was quick.<br />
<br />
Morning Glories is an older polish so it's not B3F. It has dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in it though it is free of toluene and formaldehyde. For a full list of ingredients please see the end of the post. I strongly suggest excellent ventilation or mani-ing outside because the fumes are unfortunately quite noxious. :P<br />
<br />
All of the above photos were taken in the shade which highlighted the lovely blue notes of polish. Below are some photos taken in the sun which highlight the steely quality of the polish.<br />

Royal Cloak is a dusty cool toned purple laced with delicate irregular flakes. The color emanates a soft dusty quality while still possessing a richness to it's shade. The flake finish creates a silvery gossamer texture or luminous ethereal sparkles depending on the lighting. It reminds me of dew encased in hyacinths at the dawn of an overcast day. Truly lovely.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nice formula with no application issues. The flakes are so fine that they don't create any unevenness or bumps in the finish. The polish dries completely smooth. I used one coat of Seche Vite top coat to ensure thorough drying and a nice high gloss finish.<br />
<br />
Royal Cloak is part of Revlon's Masquerade Collection which I believe is limited edition due to the absence of color numbers. This collection just arrived in my area so don't give up hope if you haven't found it yet. Royal Cloak is definitely worth the hunt.I Drink Nail Polishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14362730591123297711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740993365804887418.post-5167395929331765432011-10-11T18:57:00.000-04:002012-01-04T04:33:56.723-05:00Tip Tuesday<div style="text-align: center;">

I love glitter. It's my favorite nail polish finish. What I don't love is how most glitter polishes dry - rough. Some dry and they're barely sparkly at all. Others dry to a nice sparkly finish but they feel like a jagged mess to the touch. There are ways to make them behave though, ways to get them glossy and smooth...</div>

I needed a glitter polish to illustrate this tip. The Milani One Coat Glitters immediately came to mind because they dry both dull and rough. They're gorgeous polishes but they need some help getting glossy and smooth. I chose Milani Purple Gleam to demonstrate...</div>

Here's how to get that glitter polish glossy and smooth:</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Apply treatment, base coat, and as many coats of glitter polish as needed.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Let the polish dry until the glitter adheres to the surface. The polish doesn't have to be completely dry but it does have to be dry enough so that the glitter doesn't lift when touched by the brush on the next coat.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Apply one coat of Poshe Super-Fast Drying Basecoat and allow it to set. Most of the time only one coat is needed. If the glitter still seems rough after the first coat a second coat should be applied to ensure a glossy smooth result. Like it's name suggests, it <i>is</i> super-fast drying so this step doesn't take very long.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Apply one coat of Poshe Super-Fast Drying Topcoat.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Allow your super glossy, super smooth, super sparkly mani to dry. It won't take long because both products dry very quickly. And that's it!<br />
<br />

Left nail - 2 coats Milani Purple Gleam</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right nail - 2 coats Milani Purple Gleam topped with 2 coats Poshe Super-Fast Drying Basecoat and 1 coat Poshe Super-Fast Drying Topcoat<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Certain base coats are specially formulated to create a smooth surface over nails that have an uneven or ridged texture. They get into all the tiny crevices and fill them while still drying to a smooth, uniform surface which is ideal for nail polish to adhere to. This is why certain base coats work so well when used to smooth glitter polishes. Top coats aren't formulated to do this because they were made to be worn over nail polish, an otherwise smooth surface except in the case of rough sparkly stuffs.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my experience I've found that base coats with a gel-like consistency work best for smoothing glitter polishes. I've found the combination of Poshe Super-Fast Drying Basecoat & Super-Fast Drying Topcoat to work best for a couple reasons:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> It doesn't get bubbly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> It doesn't make the polish thick.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> It dries very glossy and smooth.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> It doesn't discolor the glitter in any way.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Both products apply easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Both products dry very fast.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
American Classics Gelous and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri used to be my favorite glitter smoothing combo before I began using the Poshe combo. After applying my glitter polish I would follow these steps when using the Gelous/Insta-Dri combo:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Apply base coat and however many coats of glitter polish needed. <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Allow to dry until the glitter has adhered to the surface.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Apply one coat Gelous and allow to set for a minimum of 5 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Apply a second coat of Gelous if needed and allow to set for five to ten minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Apply Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat and wait for my mani to dry.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
Why the Poshe combo so much better than the Gelous/Insta-Dri combo:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> The main reason: Gelous thickens everything. Most of the time it thickens the polish so much that there is a visible bump at the cuticle gap where the polish begins. Ew.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> One of these products is bubbling and I think it's the Insta-Dri. The bubbles are teeny tiny and form inside the layer of Gelous/Insta-Dri over the glitter polish causing a dulling effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">♥</span> Dry time is quite long and tedious.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Holiday Splendor is a vibrant green jelly filled with deep emerald green and silver holographic glitters. The base color in Holiday Splendor is similar to Untamed Luxury though the glitter in each polish is completely different. This is seriously gorgeous. The intensity of the color, the beautiful depth of the glitter, and the endless rainbow of sparkles are dazzling!<br />

Candy Cane is a blend of silvery ice pink, light red, and lavender glitters. Lighting changes the appearance of this polish significantly with darker colors highlighted by sun and lighter colors highlighted by shade. The silvery ice pink glitter creates the illusion of being sprinkled on top giving the polish a nice depth. I liked this polish a lot more once I got it on my nails. The pattern of colors is really pretty!<br />

Gingerbread is a blend of gold glitters laced with flashes of amber, violet, and citrus green. The effect is similar to that of a holographic glitter except it flashes those specific colors instead. So cool! Lighting plays a dramatic role in how this polish appears like the rest of the polishes in the collection. Bronze tones are more apparent in the sun while yellow gold sparkles in the shade. *Update: Gingerbread = Funky Fingers Golden Coast. <br />

Beyond the Mistletoe is a blend of ice blue, light aqua, and holographic glitters. This polish is the counterpart of Funky Fingers Baby Baby Baby which is also made by Forsythe. Funky Fingers is not as widely available as Color Club though so it's nice to see this polish become more accessible. It's a stunner. The holographic effect is one of the strongest I've ever seen on a glitter. It's blue skies and rainbows indoors and out! Beautiful!<br />

Sugarplum Fairy is a blend of light lilac, medium lavender, and holographic glitters. This polish is the counterpart of Funky Fingers Sand and Stillettos which is also made by Forsythe. Sugarplum Fairy is the lavender version of Beyond the Mistletoe. Super strong holo effect, super pretty color. Rain or shine this beauty is blasting rainbows. This is the kind of holo glitter you can see from a mile away. I love this. A lot.<br />

Jingle Jangle is a blend of lavender, light blue, and periwinkle glitters. There is also a little bit of green glitter sprinkled in. Different colors become more pronounced depending on the light, blue shining in the sun and lavender lighting up in the shade. It has an almost silvery quality indoors. Jingle Jangle was the polish I was most excited about when I initially saw this collection and it did not disappoint. This is super duper pretty. Super. Duper. Pretty. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
The formula on all the polishes was nice. Holiday Splendor was a bit thick, though it's nothing a little thinner couldn't easily fix. I have a feeling it's because Holiday Splendor is the only polish in the collection which has a vibrantly colored base. Application was easy and dry time was super fast. Most of the time my pinky was dry by the time I got to my thumb. Some polishes dried more sparkly than others but none were super gritty. No ruthless top coat gobblers here. They got smooth and glossy easily with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://idrinknailpolish.blogspot.com/2011/10/tip-tuesday.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">my favorite glitter smoothing combo</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">.<br />
<br />
Removal was not fun. Is it ever fun though? I strongly suggest using <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://idrinknailpolish.blogspot.com/2011/08/tip-tuesday.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">this tip</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"></span> and the foil method. The glitter likes to stick around so I recommend using a gentle soap with a nice lather after polish removal. I love Dr. Bronner's soaps and their lathery goodness really helps wash away glitter that gets stuck here and there.</span><br />

Facets of Fuchsia is a mix of very fine & medium vibrant fuchsia hexagon glitters in a black jelly base. The black jelly base is pigmented enough to achieve complete opacity at 3 coats while still allowing glitter from the initial coats to show through which creates nice depth. I prefer this look to layering over black but it can be worn that way too. The glitter distributed itself nicely and dried quite smooth for a polish with so much glitter in it. Nice surprise!<br />
<br />
<br />
I ended up liking Facets of Fuchsia a lot more than I thought I would after I got it on my nails, but then most dark polishes look good on me because I'm so pale. The opposite might happen in the photos of Starry Pink. I hope it doesn't look too bad on me but I'm worried it's giving me zombie hand so I'm putting the photos of Starry Pink after the jump! <br />

Starry Pink is a blend of very fine and medium silver hexagon glitters in a milky pink base. This is pretty in a bottle. Delicate and charming. The formula was good. Glitter distribution was nice and the milky pink base wasn't too opaque or too sheer. I applied three thin coats and had no application issues. This could be worn layered also - one coat over a similar shade would work. Light pink, lavender, and light gray would be my first choices considering the milky pink tint of the base. <br />
<br />
<br />
Starry Pink was the one I was most excited about when I bought the three glitters from the Revlon Expressionists Collection. Pretty in a bottle it was, but alas, not pretty on me. :( I think it's giving me zombie hand. Vampire hand = awesome. Zombie hand = not so much. Or maybe it's just the contrast of viewing these two polishes side by side? The other half chimed in, "Well, next to that purple deliciousness... It's not your best color." The "purple deliciousness" being Facets of Fuchsia, the polish I was sure I'd like least of the three. Surprise!<br />
<br />
Isn't it funny - you'd think a black polish would make a pale person look like death, but it's just the opposite. Pastels are so cruel to me - they look like pretty candy in the bottle and then they give me zombie hand or lobster hand. *pouts* I'm not breaking up with pastels yet though.<br />
<br />
Lastly, a bit about dry time. I've read over and over that Revlons never dry. I've always used top coats which speed the drying process so I never noticed this issue. I did a little test with Facets of Fuchsia and waited an hour for it to dry on it's own. It was still tacky. Another hour. <i>Still</i> tacky. I gave up waiting and put my top coat on, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri (one of my favorites for glitter polishes). It dried!<br />
<br />
Definitely have a lookie at the other glitter in the Expressionists Collection <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://idrinknailpolish.blogspot.com/2011/09/revlon-mosaic-nyc-teal-end.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #aa7bce;">here</span></a></span> if you haven't had a lookie yet. It's called Blue Mosaic and it has glitters in the colors of the ocean! <br />

Fine silver holographic hexgon glitter pairs with silver holographic shards in random shapes and sizes to create Her Holo, Holo Heart. Colors flare through a lacy silver maze of twinkling fine holographic particles and irregular holographic shards. It's breathtaking. Also - the formula is perfect. I expected a tiny bit of fussing but I simply applied 1 coat to my nails and got a perfect result. No fussing, no picking at pieces for placement, no edges poking up. Awesome.<br />

I had such high hopes when I saw Androgynie in the bottle (see little photo to the left). I tried 3 coats of it by itself initially but it looked awful. The warm black jelly base looked so dull and stole the sparkle from the beautiful glitters. It also dulled the vibrant colors of the hexagon glitters. I decided to layer it over a black cream and it helped lessen the dullness of the base and brighten the glitters but...it still wasn't what I'd hoped for, the bottle look on my nails. *sigh*</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
I also noticed that there was almost no glitter on my nails the first time I applied it. I tried shaking the bottle but it wasn't enough. I literally had to take an orange stick and stir the polish vigorously, shaking it intermittently during the process to free all the glitter from the bottom of the bottle. The moment I set the bottle down the glitter began to fall toward the bottom of the bottle again so I had to give the bottle a good shake every couple nails. There is not nearly enough suspending agent in this polish.</div>

3 coats Ma Cherie<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ma Cherie is a beautiful vibrant red jelly. I don't mind the very subtle visible nail line because it's, well, very subtle. Nice formula, gorgeous color, super glossy finish. I don't think it's 100% unique though. I thought it was brighter than it actually was when I put it on but when I compared it with my other reds it fell into the Essie First Dance/China Glaze Sacred Heart/CND Just Red category of reds, deeper brights, of which there are many.</div>

3 coats Oui<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oui is a violet version of the sparkling gold polishes du jour. It's pretty gorgeous. I don't have It's My Year to compare it to but I have heard it is a possible dupe. I was hoping for Oui to be a dupe for Don't Be Shellfish from the Ulta's Under the Sea collection of minis. I love that polish and a mini is just not enough. I'm happy to report that they're extremely close to being dupes - without painstaking scrutiny they really can't be told apart. If you are interested in my scrutiny I'd say Don't Be Shellfish is a touch cooler toned and has slightly less density in it's sparkles.</div>

3 coats Au Champagne<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Please forgive my bottle photo of Au Champagne. I did not do this polish justice in this bottle shot. It was raining, blah blah blah...and this is the best photo I got. This polish is so pretty. A beautiful white with delicate, luminous shimmer. Orly has done an outstanding job on the white polishes in their holiday collections the last 2 years - last year's gorgeous Winter Wonderland and now this year's lovely Au Champagne. I have very few beautiful white polishes so I'm excited to add this one to my collection.</div>

3 coats Le Chateau<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Le Chateau is an inky blue-green with a touch of gray in it. It's formula reminded me of China Glaze Near Dark - a cross between a jelly and a cream. Extremely glossy and extremely dark, it's one of those almost-black shades that pretty much looks black. I was hoping it would have more color to it after seeing the first coat but it's pretty much black looking. It is a bit softer and more complimentary to my skin tone than straight black though.</div>

3 coats Ingenue<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ingenue is yet another incarnation of this year's Charla, Zoya's Faye. So far we have Faye, Rally Pretty Pink, Ingenue...and I'm sure more dupes to come. This collection could have done without the Faye dupe. I would have loved a new shade in this finish instead; a bright cobalt blue or a white would have been amazing. Ingenue is definitely worth getting if you don't own any of the dupes though. </div>

Neosporin. Yep, that's it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Simply apply Neosporin to the affected areas. It works like a charm. Keep a tube of Neosporin in your purse so you can reapply after hand washing. If the cuticle or skin is badly cracking apply Neosporin and cover with a band-aid to protect the area during the day. Be sure to remove the band-aid before bed. That's it! Easy peasy.</div>I Drink Nail Polishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14362730591123297711noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740993365804887418.post-39857494417839228822011-09-17T12:01:00.000-04:002012-01-02T01:28:25.441-05:00Lynnderella Very Pretty Vampire & Claw Voodoo<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Claw Voodoo is a rich red jelly strewn with fine red glitter. It made the perfect base for Lynnderella's Very Pretty Vampire: a blend of red, burgundy, garnet, and black glitters in seemingly endless sizes of squares & hexagons which sparkle vibrantly from the blackened blood red tinted base.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has to be the most amazing red mani I have ever worn. *mind blown*<br />

It's so dark and vampy yet it screams I AM PURPLE!!! <br />
This is 3 coats of Sea Witch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The base is a rich red violet while the shimmer is a strong blue violet which leads to this crazy glowing vampy goodness. There is no mistaking this for black. Ever. This is the brightest dark purple I've ever seen. This is perfection. I am in love.</div>
