My Stash Yo! - Updated

I updated my stash tab that you can click on above! I added how and where I store my polishes, and what I used to store them in. It's pretty awesome :D.

Sneak peek of my new Melmer:

You can see the rest of the post on my stash page!!

Rockstar Toes - China Glaze Atlantis

My toes look freaking awesome! Karin, from the Nail Polish and Gossip Facebook group, picked up this beauty for me! I was skeptical at first and thought it might not look as good as I wanted, but I put it on and BAM! Rockstar toes!

I swear this polish looks 100x better in person and way more blingy :D

China Glaze Atlantis is a teal jelly polish loaded with small round holographic glitter. In very dim light, the glitter appears silver, but it still super pretty. In dimmer light than you would imagine, the holo glitter really shines. Indoor or outdoor, in good light this polish is WOW! With a top coat this polish isn't gritty at all, but you can still feel the glitter a tiny bit when you rub your finger over it. It definitely doesn't bother me.

This is a better representation of what it looks like most of the time - but it's even more sparkly in person!

Blurred to show glitter - still more glittery in person

Love this polish!

OPI Dazzle Me

This is another beauty from my OPI Super Haul. I'll be sending it to Amber from Rainbows and Sparkles now, but I couldn't help but play with it just a little lol.

OPI Dazzle Me is a light blue tealish polish that is sheer and shimmery. The base is tinted and packed with blue, silver, and light teal shimmer.

Bottle pic

Three coats

Two coats Dazzle Me over one coat black creme. Dazzle Me is more obvious in person.

This one is a bit blurry, but shows what Dazzle Me looks like more in person.

OPI Absolutely Alice and Mad As A Hatter

I got some awesome polishes lately! Absolutely Alice I am in love with and will have to keep, but Mad As A Hatter I can part with for its Ebay price right now :D. As for AA, I can't wait to crackle this bitch!!

Bottle pic

Absolutely Alice is a bright blue slightly tealish base absolutely packed with blue microglitter and gold shimmer. It does look like the gold is ever so slightly smaller than the blue, and it is more sparse. It has full coverage and two coats and was not gritty!

Two coats no top coat. It really is not gritty and was surprisingly like 95% smooth. 

Close up

On the nail, yes this is my nail wheel nail lol

Blurred to show shimmer

Now for MAAH!!! OPI Mad As A Hatter is a very hard to find discontinued polish. It has a clear, almost slightly gray tinted, base packed with loads of glitter. The glitter colors I detected were silver, green, pink, blue, purple, and orange.The base, and therefore the overall polish to an extent, appears more purple tinted and certain angles. I find this happens more in the bottle than on the nail. The coverage was a little bit difficult, but not bad. I used three coats. I think it was just hard because I was so excited to apply the next coat I didn't wait for it to dry long enough lol!!!

 Bottle pic. Not this dark irl but shows glitter colors

 This pic seems to bring out the red and green glitter and accentuates the resemblance to Funky Fingers Icicle Lights. 

On the nail, yes it's my nail wheel :P. 

So what do you think? Do you have these already? Are you lemming these? Would you pay more than $8.50 for them since they're now hard to find?

OPI DS Mystery

I just got a super haul of OPIs from Craigslist and have started the swatch madness. Meet OPI DS Mystery.

Here is a bottle pic.

This is after the first coat. It's not black, it's actually a super dark purple!!! It isn't really perfect at one coat though, so it might not be wearable like this. Maybe you could do it over a purple undercoat so it wouldn't matter as much.

And some swatches after 2 coats. See the gold/copper flakies?

OPI Electric Eel

OPI Electric Eel is one I picked up from my recent Craigslist OPI super haul. It's gorgeous in the bottle. It's a sheerish shimmery light bright green. The base green is a little dusty and has bright green shimmer that flashes rusty orange.

This is three coats of Electric Eel with no base or top. It's really sheer, but still kind of cool. Just wait till you see this baby over black!

This is two coats Electric Eel over one coat black creme. This is obviously a great layering polish. 

 Here you can see the orange flash. It is a bit more obvious in person and happens whenever the nail isn't directly turned towards you.

My First Pedi

My amazing boyfriend bought me my first pedi for my birthday! He said I could even take a friend :D. Don't our toes look fab?

We used Zoya Rica and Zoya Drew!

Here I am on the way to my first pedi ever! Lookin' cute to match my toes lol.

First we got a nice foot soak! It was so freaking awesome and mentholy. The jets were probably the best part. And we also got to sit in awesome massagy chairs :D.

Then we get the trim and file and all that (my leg is so not that fat it's the perspective lol).

Then we got a salt scrub and a mud mask with hot towels. They also did the callous gel with the pumice stone. Later that day I rubbed my feet though, and they did feet a bit smoother, but still hard. I still have pretty serious callouses : /. And I was really sad because my friend got a foot massage and I didn't. Someone else did mine : /. It was my birthday pedi!!I know it's silly, but I'm one to dwell on things lol.

Well then we got the polish.

Then we sat under these cool alien drier lights (can you tell I have never had a pedi before?).

And now we have pretty toes! Yay!!!

Have you ever had a pedi? Do you get them regularly? Is it worth it?
