Nails by Laura- Dani-Mite Limited Edition Charity Glitter

I have a VERY special polish here. This is Nails by Laura- Dani-Mite layered over OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls. This polish was named after and created in collaboration with Danielle who has had a double diagnosis of a brain tumor. There were only 100 bottles of these made. Half of the proceeds from this polish will be donated to the National Brain Tumor Society.

There is such a beautiful combination of glitter in this polish. There are larger sheer matte lime hexes, medium size orange and blue hexes and micro prismatic glitter. Everything goes so well together! My favorite has to be the lime hexes. They look so awesome when overlapping the orange and blue glitter!
 Here is a picture taken indoors in daylight. Beautiful! I put two coats of Dani-Mite on just to get more lime glitter but it looks great with one too.
Here's one taken inside with the flash. I took this picture more to show off my bottle. I have number 37 out of 100 made. 

You can still get this polish if you HURRY! There are only 9 bottles left. They are being sold for $10 and you can purchase them at Nails by Laura's etsy page. If you're going to spend money on polish anyway, it might as well go towards a good cause right? :)

Also really quickly, I'll show you what OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls looks like on it's own
I apologize for the lack of cleanup, but I cleaned up after the mani was complete. My Boyfriend Scales Walls is from OPI's recent Spring Spiderman collection. It is a white creme, but not pure white. It has some gray undertones. It looks pretty white, but when I looked at it next to Alpine Snow there was a noticeable difference. The first coat went on rather streaky, but the second coat evened it out perfectly so there were no formula issues.

China Glaze- It's My Turn

 A while ago, I purchased China Glaze- It's My Turn. It is from the 2009 Kaleidoscope collection. It is an orange-gold holo. I unfortunately couldn't get any sun pictures because it stormed today, but I still took a few.
 The print on the bottle is definitely wearing off! I am wearing three coats here. It built up pretty nicely. I did get a huge chip out of my pinky so the wear wasn't that good. (If you look closely, you can see that I touched it up)
 Here's a picture without the flash.
 I cannot stress enough how much I love holos! I'm in the process of trying to collect the older China Glaze holos from the Kaleidoscope and OMG collection. I own most of the Tronicas. I just chopped off my nails after these pictures were taken. They were getting too long.

I received some nail mail also! The first one is Twee & Honey- The Nirvana of Inebriation. This is an INTENSE silver linear holo. It's probably a very close dupe to China Glaze- OMG, which I don't own... yet. It came in the mail like 2 days after I ordered it. Great customer service. I want to order more polishes from this company. Especially Magpie and Sonic Rainboom. These can be purchased on the Twee & Honey website.  Prices range from $5-$13 depending on the polish. The Nirvana of Inebriation was $13. They also come in Italian glass bottles!

Second, I ordered Nails by Laura- Dani-Mite. This is a very special polish. Danielle, who the polish is named after was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Danielle and Laura teamed up to make this polish. There will only be 100 of these sold and 50% of the cost of the polish will go to the National Brain Tumor Society. I got number 37. I'm sure these won't be available much longer, so get your bottle today! They retail for $10. All of the information can be found on Nails by Laura's Etsy Page.
