Glitter OVERLOAD!!!!!

I have been so busy the last few days I have not had time to post. I finally painted my nails today after like a week of nothing. My nails were a mess.

I have a few Pop Culture Cosmetics polishes to post. They're gorgeous. Every single on of her polishes are so pretty. And they're awesome. They last forever and are just fantastic. I can not possibly say enough good things about them.

The lady who runs Pop Culture Cosmetics is also awesome. My last order was missing a polish and without question when I e mailed her she apologized (which was not at all necessary, mistakes happen) and promised to get a bottle sent out ASAP. I got it just a few days later.






This is Prince Charming. I ordered this polish because I didn't have anything like it and thought it might be pretty. I am SO glad I ordered this polish. It is so pretty. There are so many sparkles in this polish. All kinds of different small glitters along with some larger diamond glitters. Purple, pink, and holo. The base is a light shimmery purple. It is just so pretty. Every time I looked at my hands, I loved this polish a little more. It's so pretty.





Just in case it wasn't pretty enough in my house under a light, here it is in the sun. It is SO sparkly. I love this polish so much.





This is Blushing Castle. Its a purple jelly base with all kinds of glitters in it. I'm not sure I could possibly tell all the glitters in this polish. It's packed.





Here it is in the sun. Again, lots of sparkles. Its very, very pretty.





I added some two-tone flower nail art. I followed the tutorial by @glittr on instagram. I really love this. Simple but so pretty and perfect for spring.





I Lost My Glass Slipper is a baby blue base with white and blue glitters plus hearts. I am alos in love with this polish.






Here it is in the sun. : D





This is I Lost My Glass Slipper with some ocean stamping using my MoYou London Sailor 08 plate.
I like this but I fell like I could have done a bit better with the stamping. Still very pretty and I love I Lost My Glass Slipper as a base for ocean stamping.





The last polish is MousketEAR. I layered it over China Glaze Frostbite. MousketEAR is a clear base LOADED with glitter. Tiny holo is a lot of it and then there are medium sized circle glitters in red, black, white, holo, and yellow. Then there are also star and Mickey shaped glitters.

I tried to get a picture of this in the sun and I was nearly blinded by those holo Mickeys so I gave up. I love it though. And that blue is perfect as a base. So fun. When I go to Disney (hopefully this time next year) I have got to make sure this polish is worn at some point during the trip!

Wicked

I was planning on having almost all of my Wicked polishes tried out by now. I've tried 3. It's been a busy week. My 2.5 year old started soccer practices and had his first game and with everything going on I have just not felt like doing my nails. They were a mess today when I finally took off the last polish I tried out. They looked terrible. The ends all chipped and uneven and peeling. 0_o Bad. Really bad. They're fixed up some now but I can't let that happen again.





The first one I tried was Hallucinating Gremlins. Hallucinating Gremlins is a glitter topper that has bunches of glitter in it. There are purple, blue, green, and black in different shapes including squares, stars, and bars. I put it over a pale pink. Really loved these two together.






Drunk In Public is a white base loaded with tiny glitters in rainbow colors. I loved this polish. I did 3 coats, no undies. Probably would have been fine with 2 coats or maybe even 1 coat with a white coat underneath but I wanted LOTS of glitter! Very pretty polish.





The last one that I've had a chance to try out is Pox. Pox is a white base with different sized pink and orange glitters. I put it over a bright pink polish. So mine looks like a light pink base. I will probably have to try this polish a few different ways. I liked it like this but didn't love it. I just wanted to try something different than just plain white underneath but maybe I'll have to try that.





These Pop Culture Cosmetics polishes came in today. I finally got full sized bottles of 3 Wishes and Snow Queen plus three new ones. I have one extra coming next week that accidentally got left out of this order. I e-mailed after I realized my order was short and she got right back to me saying sorry and that she would have my missing bottle sent out early next week. I love Pop Culture Cosmetics. I've tried more well known indie brands (that I also love) but I think Pop Culture is my favorite. I've never got a polish I liked photos of but didn't like once I got it. I have had the opposite though. See a polish that a liked and decided for some reason or other to go ahead and order and then just LOVED it. I am wearing one of these polishes now and as soon as I get the 2 other new ones tried out I will have swatches posted. I have another order coming next week (I think I might have a bit of a problem but her polishes are seriously so pretty) so I will have quite a few Pop Culture polishes coming up. I will get back to my Wicked Polish swatches soon. : )
