Glam & Glits

I just mentioned the Glam & Glits Nail Decorations I picked, and I thought I would look up the company.  What I did not realize is they offer the Aquarium Nail Tips.


I'm not interested in them for me, but I think they look really fun and what a strange idea.  I remember a blogger mentioning them waaaaaaaaaaay back in the day.


There is a minimum order of $30.00.
They sell their products on their website here:
Glam & Glits nail designs


They also sell mylar bits.  So now you can make your own collection of flakies!

**Pic Heavy** Nationwide Nail Supply | More Glam & Glits + OPI Shrek (The colors I had to have)

Howdy!

Of course I went back after playing around with the Moonstone nail decorations, and I picked up some other colors.

The last few times I stopped by there, I skipped on the Shrek Collection by OPI, but after so many swatches of this fun collection I realized I needed the Bright and Vivid Colors.

This is what I picked up:

Front to Back:  OPI's Funky Dunkey and G&G's Sugilite, OPI's Who The Shrek Are You? and G&G's Ruby, OPI's Ogre-The-Top Blue and G&G's Aquamarine

The lucky three.  :o)

Glam & Glits

Play time!!

On my left hand I used Ogre-The-Top Blue:

 On my right hand is Funky Dunkey:

 Finally...a touch of contrasting sparkle!

I used Sugilite and Ruby on Ogre-The-Top Blue to create a diamond.

I'm right-handed, but man this design is much more crooked than the one on my right hand.  Apparently my left hand is steadier when putting a little glam on.  :oP

My right hand has Aquamarine and Ruby on Funky Dunkey.

Ahh...Much better.

I do enjoy the consistency of these.  The first coat was a little streaky, but the second coat made everything smooth like butter (Or liquid Caramel...Mmmm).  

My husband had the fan on, and it was making each application dry so quickly I had to keep applying a clear coat to stick the diamonds on.

I always use two coats of Seche Clear, and this stops any polish from staining my nails (At least on me it works).

After those two, I use OPI's Dry & Brittle Nail Envy because I have thin razor-like nails.  :(  Good for scratching my back at least.

Two coats of color, and then I top them off with a nice thick coat of Seche Vite.  Sometimes I use Out The Door.

I used an additional coat of Seche vite over the diamonds as some still had edges I could feel.

Until next time!

Nationwide Nail Supply | Polish & Nail Décor

So sorry for the lack of posts everyone.  Things have been so hectic as Eric and I are really getting started with redesigning our house.
Anyway, I've been meaning to post this.  Here are some items I purchased at Nationwide Nail Supply.

Multicolored Nail Jewels.  I love crystal rhinestones!
OPI's DS Signature, China Glaze's Let's Do it in 3D, Glam and Glits' Sea Pebbles and Moonstone.

As you can see, these pots are quite large.  I'd say they are about 1.5" in Diameter, and the amounts are .5 oz.
The Sea Gems Nail Art in Sea Pebbles 129 are small bits of mother of pearl in a lead color.
The Diamond Nail Art in Moonstone 73 are diamond shaped holo pieces with a silver base color.

I purchased Signature not knowing if I had it or not, and thankfully I did not.  :o)
I thought I would pull out my other OPI Designer Series pink holos.
Here is Exclusive, Signature and Passion:

Only after pulling those three out did I realize I had more of these beauties than I thought I did.  I contemplated buying Fantasy, but I'd much rather have Glamour and they didn't have it.

Top Row L-R:  Exclusive, Signature, Reserve, Desire, Sapphire
Bottom Row L-R:  Extravagance, Passion, Jewel, Original, Coronation

This is what I did with Signature and the Glam and Glits Moonstone:
