Cauldron Bubble!

Hello Beauties! What a week it has been already! Tomorrow starts my weekend and I couldn't be happier. Even better news, I hit 50 followers, and that means GIVEAWAY! I am so excited but I shouldn't jump too far;) Let's look at today's mani.



Meet, Cauldron Bubble by Trelly's M.I.S.C Polish It is a part of her Halloween Collection and she says It has purple, white, green, teal lime green, turquoise and silver glitter in a shimmery clear base." What she doesn't say is it also has white heart glitters in it! This was perfection in a bottle. In my pictures I have layered two coats of Cauldron Bubble over two coats of Zoya Zuza followed by two coats of Seche Vite. I found Zuza to be the perfect shimmery base for Cauldron Bubble.



Cauldron Bubble was so easy to apply and one dip of the brush and hearts came spilling out of it! It defanitley made it's way to my top indie list!




What do you think of Cauldron Bubble? I think my next purchase will be It's Alive! You can find Trelly's M.I.S.C Polish on etsy. She also has a Facebook, go give her a like!

I'll be posting the giveaway here shortly, I'm pretty sure you will LOVE it!

Until next time!

Cha-Ching!

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday! Oh am I so glad the weekend is finally here. I'm also extremley happy to announce that you will be seeing a lot of great changes on my blog. My dad got me a new laptop as part of my *extremley early* christmas present so pictures will be larger and lots of new features to come as well! I'm also in the works of making a facebook page for my blog so be on the lookout for that!


Today I have a pretty awesome mani that I am really excited to show you. I have Sally Hansen Gem Crush- Cha-Ching! You can see my previous swatch of lady luck here I really love these polishes. Each one is unique and PACKED full of glitter.


Look at that glitter! Cha-Ching is packed FULL of red and silver glitter, this was two coats.


The formula is a little thicker on this then I remember it being with Lady Luck, I'm sure a few drops of thinner would have solved this problem but I was so impatient, after seeing how packed it was after the first coat.


.

It was all topped with a coat of Gelous and a coat of Seche Vite


I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did and I hope you enjoy the new things coming to glitznglammer! Don't forget I am only a few followers away from a giveaway, hint: indies are included;)

Until next time!

Cupcake tart!

Hello everyone! *waves to the new faces* I hope everyone is having a great day, I know I am! I finally finished unpacking from moving into our new apartment and my son loves it! His toys are already scattered across the house. I also received from nail mail from Jessica at love for lacquer. She had a few things for sale and 3 of them just so happened to be lemmings! So today I will be showing you one of them!




I am showing you pretty&polished-tart. Since the day I saw this baby I've been wanting it so bad. Everytime I caught a restock it would get cart jacked before I got to put in my info. I waited, caught another one, same thing. I was also a little impatient when she did her wish list so I waited it out and glad I did! Let me just say I love pretty&polished she restocks often but you can also purchase her polishes through llarowe as well.






Tart is a beautiful, what I call "crelly" not exactly a creme and not exactly a jelly but an in between. Its got a lavendar base with purple micro shimmer, blue and gold hex glitters and large see-through magenta and white hexes. I wasn't able to fish out a white hex but I did get out two magenta glitters. I used three thin coats.

>br>

Then I decided to stamp over it. I've actually been planning this mani since Jessica sent me the tracking on them (haha) I used sally Hansen coral rush and sally Hansen pronto purple with bundle monster plate bm-307. I mixed coral rush and pronto purple on the plate to get a mixed design. I then added small silver rhinestones to the top of the cupcake "frosting" I love this so much and hope you enjoy it too! Excuse the picture overload!




Don't forget, there will be a giveaway at 50 followers!

Until next time!

Dragon Scales

Two posts in one day?! I'm on a roll! I was going to wait to post this tomorrow but I just couldn't resist. I love these polishes so much and have one more to show!

Im showing you nail'd it unique polishes, dragon scales. If you haven't ordered from her yet she is a doll to work with and sent my polishes out next day! She has an etsy which she currently has nothing up but she restocks every couple of weeks and has tons of great polishes to choose from!





I have layered one coat of dragon scales over two coats of china glaze-kinetic candy followed by a coat of gelous and one coat of seche vite. Now dragon scales was a little thick for my liking so I put a couple drops of thinner in it and it was perfect! It consists of matte grey, blue, coral, pink, green, gold hex glitters and fine black and white glitters! It is so perfect and so bright and fun!

I hope you enjoyed and until next time!

We stamp on sundays: leafy:)

Hello and happy Sunday! I hope everyone has had a restful weekend! Tomorrow will start my weekend as I have worked 7 days in a row, can't wait for tomorrow! Today I have something exciting, my first time participating in the Sunday stamp challenge. I've been with adventures in stamping on facebook for quit a while and love to see the beautiful manis everyone creates. So today I had time to make an extra special mani for today's challenge which is "leafy"

To achieve this I used essence colour & go irreplaceable, I love this color, its a beautiful nude with gold shimmer. Now I'm almost positive (don't quote me) that this was discontinued, which makes me extremley sad and hope I can get my grubby little hands on extra. For the stamping images I used kleancolor metallic orange, kleancolor metallic green and julep delaunay from the most recent box. I love how this came out and hope you do too!

In other good news, ill be doing a giveaway at 50 followers in celebration of my followers and for getting myself a new laptop finally! I'm uber excited and hope you are too. It will be epic and international;)

Until next time!

The Nail Junkie- Fish

Hello! *waves* I'm so excited for today's post, I've had this on for 4 days and can't stop staring at my nails.

Today I'm showing you The Nail Junkie - fish. Aleta has created some of the most unique polishes I have seen in the indie world. She has everything from flowers, fruits, and her most recent line, Animals! I hurried and snatched up two that I couldn't live without! Fish and flamingo (I will show flamingo in a later post) Fish is a multicolored polish which flashes from a silvery blue to almost a golden green, with lots of blue holographic and silver holographic glitters in it. This is so stunning, pictures don't do this baby justice.

Ide also like to add that everytime you purchase from the nail junkie 10% of the proceeds go to a charity of her choice, this one touched me as she picked The Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition. I was having a hard time deciding whether or not I was going to go forward with adoption or keep my son carter (due November 26th) being a single mother this was hard. Although, I decided to parent him and raise him with my 2 1/2 old I support every aspect of adoption so this really had a special place in my heart.

You can purchase Fish or any polishes from her other lines on her site for $10 with free domestic shipping. She also includes goodies with her polishes. (I LOVE cutie balm)

I hope you enjoy and until next time!
