Dotticure...fail?

I bought some dotting tools yesterday, so I decided to give them a shot.  I like how the dots turned out; I was just bad at placement.  Oops.  I guess practice makes perfect!  I started with two coats of Essie "blanc" and used China Glaze Pool Party and Papaya Punch for the dots.  Afterward I topped it off with a coat of Essie "Shine of the Times".  It looks way better in person than in the pictures.  My camera couldn't really capture the glitter well, unfortunately.

What do you get when you combine...

Essie's Lights, Action, and Mojito Madness + OPI black shatter + Rainbow Connection?

THIS, of course:

I did this manicure on Friday.  I started with stripes of the Essie polishes, covered it in black shatter, and then doused it in glitter.  Have I ever mentioned how OPI Rainbow Connection is one of my favorite glitter polishes? I love it.  It spices up everything. :D

I think it turned out pretty cool!

Whimsical, whimsical, whimsiiiiiiicallllllll...

Okay, so, I just love saying Whimsical, and I'm even more in love with this polish by Revlon.  I've only recently bought a couple of Revlon polishes, and I'm enjoying them!

Today's manicure consisted of two coats of Muchi, Muchi by Essie and two coats of Whimsical...and of course I used a shiny top coat.  The Essie polish was a little hard to apply; it wasn't perfectly opaque with just two coats, but I love how it looks with Whimsical on top!

Ignore the little black dots stuck on my fingers.  Sparkles are really a pain to get off! They also look a little messy, but I still love it!

Recent Haul

Okay, so...I didn't buy all of these on the same day.  I bought three one day, nine another, and then one on Friday, but I'll stick them all together as my most recent haul.  Obviously, I'm a polish addict.  Only a polish addict can buy nine bottles of nail polish in one day.

Fabulous is My Middle Name, Star of the Party, Khloe Had A Little Lam-lam

Whimsical, and Scandalous

Sun Kissed, Lighthouse, Midtown Magic, Significant Other Color, and You Callin' Me A Lyre?

School of Pyrotechnics, Born Into Privilege, and Muchi, Muchi.

Below is a picture that captures the color of Muchi, Muchi a little better.  I really do not like the quality of my camera.

I've also purchased Funhouse by Dandy Nails and Mystique by Glitrix.  I can't wait to receive them so I can try them out! They will be the first indie polishes that I will use! I'm totally excited!

I haven't used all of these yet...actually, I've only used five of them, but I'm getting there! :D

My first mani with these new polishes consisted of Khloe Had A Little Lam-lam topped off with School of Pyrotechnics.  It was pretty awesome; I wore it on the day of my college graduation.  My next manicure was Sun Kissed with OPI's Rainbow Connection on top.  I am loving the China Glaze Summer Neons collection, and I can't wait to get my paws on a few more.
