Deborah Lippmann- Almost Paradise and Glitzology- Guardian Angel


For this combo, I layered Glitzology- Guardian Angel over Deborah Lippmann- Almost Paradise. This kind of reminded me of icing on Christmas cookies! I took this picture in a diner because I really liked the lighting.
This was my first time trying a Glitzology polish and it was packed with glitter! I am only wearing one coat of Guardian Angel over Almost Paradise. Guardian Angel had a clear base with gold shimmer, and red, pink, and white matte shards, and pink and white hearts! It was so unique. Glitzology polishes can be found in the Etsy Shop and retail for $8.50.
Here is a picture taken indoors with the flash.
Here is Almost Paradise on it's own. This was part of the Footloose collection during Winter 2011. It a spring green pastel creme. It reminds me of Essie- Navigate Her, but it has more yellow in it.
Here it is with the flash. The formula on this one was streaky; especially with the first coat. The second coat smoothed that out. 

My fiance got me a $200 gift card to Ulta for Christmas, so I went shopping!

Wet n Wild- Believe Me it's Real


This is Wet n Wild- Believe Me It's Real. This was released in their color icon series around the holidays last year. I was lucky to pick up the set of these when they were on clearance. 

Believe Me It's Real is bright blue micro glitter with some bigger particles of purple glitter. The texture of this was pretty gritty, even with Gelous and Seche Vite. I also had to file down my nails because the mirco glitter hung off of them.

Overall this was very bright, unique, and long-lasting. 

Here are more new additions.
The Milani holographics were on clearance. I got the whole set of them with the exception of the silver because I already had it. The shades are 3D, Hi-Tech, Cyberspace, Hi-Res, and Digital.
New holiday Candy Lacquers and Pretty & Polished- I'm Not a Banana!
Marshall's finds: Sation- Calorie Countess, ORLY Color Blast- Ablazing Aqua and Twilight
Sephora by OPI- Hollywood if I Could, Caged Bird Lacquer- Rose Golden, and China Glaze- 5 Golden Rings
Butter London- Shambolic, Jack the Lad, Scuppered, Fairy Cake, and Fishwife
China Glaze- Running in Circles and Water You Waiting For, Seche- Collage Overlay, and Finger Paints- Santa's Magic
