Midori Sparkle

Hello, ladies! It's been awhile. I spent the weekend in Canada for my cousin's bridal shower. It was alot of fun but when we got back on Monday, I was still exhausted yesterday. So, sorry about the delay in posting.

I came home to some Nail Mail, which was pretty exciting. I have been having alot of fun with Copious.com. Sellers can go on the site and sell their nail polish, clothing, beauty supplies, etc. And you get a $10 credit for signing up. They also have periodic weekends where you can get another $10 credit. So far, I have gotten $30 of nail polishes free!! (Well, for $0.01 each) Here's the link if you want to get your own $10 credit:

Anyway...on to the nails!!!

I started with 4 coats of Zoya Midori (one of my Copious finds). It is a little on the sheer side so needed 4 coats to make it completely opaque. 

Then, to add some fun to it, I used Essie Set In Stones.

My pointer finger got a little beat up at work last night :( 

I put a glob of glitter at the tip of my nail. Then, after scraping my brush clean on the bottle rim, I used my dry brush to pull the glitter down about halfway down the nail.

Ants In My Pants

Hey ladies!
I was super excited last night when I came home and checked my email. I saw that my delivery confirmation had been received and my NAIL MAIL was HERE!!! I paused Project Runway and ran to mailbox. It it was my long awaited polish: Spoiled by Wet n' Wild- Ants In My Pants.

Wet n' Wild used to make a polish very much like this one and called it Behind Closed Doors, which I think is a much more appropriate name for this beauty.

It is a dark charcoal jelly with multi-sized red glitters suspended throughout. Very sexy, I think.

I was a little disappointed as I was applying it. It didn't go on as consistently as I would have hoped and the brush was very wide. That made it hard to do my pinky nails as they are about the same width as the brush. I had to use about 3-4 coats to get an opaque finish. Maybe next time I will use one coat of a black first to minimize the amount of coats.

Anywho!! I'm off to Canada for my cousin's bridal shower. I will be back Monday and will hopefully have a new post Tuesday. So stay tuned :) Later!
