Layering With Zoya Trixie & Electra

I liked the accent nail from my last manicure so much that I decided to do all of my nails! 2 coats of Zoya Trixie with one coat of Zoya Electra on top. Not for everyday but fun every now & then.

Here's a quick shot of Electra over black.

Accent Nail With Zoya Trixie & Electra

I decided to try Zoya Electra as an accent nail over my previous Zoya Trixie manicure. Zoya Electra is small silver holographic bar glitter in a clear base. Shown here at just one coat over Trixie. Most bar glitters bug me & just look hairy but I like Zoya's use of smaller bar glitters, like Rina, Twila, & Kissy.

Layering With Sation Tall Dark & Has Some & Stirring Silver

This is one coat of Sation Stirring Silver topped with a gradient of Sation Tall Dark & Has Some. It's a very unique glitter with medium black circles, tiny turquoise glitter, & large turquoise shards in a clear base. So cool & similar in type to a favorite from last year, Sation Ego Friendly. I love this combination!

Color Club Holiday Splendor

Color Club Holiday Splendor is from the 2011 Beyond The Mistletoe Collection. I've posted about two others from this set here & here; they are all incredible! Shown here at two coats, it's very easy to apply as long as you wait a bit between coats to avoid dragging.

Holiday Splendor is easily the most insane & blingiest polish I own. It got more attention than every other manicure I've ever worn. Blue leaning green jelly base loaded with holographic glitter. So excellent!!!

Sation Holiday Spirit OLD FORMULA Glitter Gradient

If you ever find a bottle of the OLD Sation Holiday Spirit, buy it! I like the current version too but the old formula is still one of my top 5 favorite polishes. Here I've done a simple glitter gradient using the old formula. I love this manicure so much!!

Abstract Christmas Nails With JENsations JEWEL Tones & LAQA & CO Chubs

Today we have a unique & lovely polish from indie brand JENsations. Here's what she has to say about her products.

★ All of my custom blended polishes are made with a special 3-free base [Toluene, Formaldehyde & Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) Free] that will suspend glitter [glitter won't all fall to the bottom].

★ All glitters used are solvent resistant [glitter won't bleed into polish]. On rare occasion I use a bleeding glitter on purpose to get the perfect shade of base, but it will be noted.

★ All polishes come inside a unique star shaped bottle. 10 ml in size. Contrary to popular believe they are easy to store.

★ Each bottle contains two stainless steel ball bearings [they will not rust or affect your polish] for easy shaking. Pigments & glitters tend to settle over time so please shake gently =)

★ Each bottle is custom made with my very own two hands so there may be a slight variation in each bottle.

I've found all of these statements to be true! This is one easily applied coat of  JENsations Jewel Tones worn over LAQA & CO Chubs. Jewel Tones is large red hex glitter & medium green & purple hex glitter in a clear base with a truly outstanding formula. No need to fish for glitter in the bottle & brushes on in one nice thin coat.

Abstract Modern Christmas Or Accidental Bloody Mary Nails?

I love this combination! Sation I Love Yule topped with Sation Ego Friendly. I thought it looked very holiday appropriate but Will says it looks like a bloody mary. Maybe that is holiday appropriate too! Either way, Ego Friendly is a truly incredible polish!

Sation For Better Or Never & Impromptu Halloween Costumes

You can see a few more of Sation's new Glitters in this post. Sation bottles are oval with thick glass bottoms. The new brushes are great for ladies like me that love wide brushes. You can purchase Sation's Big 3 Free polishes at their website. This new Glitter collection retails for $7.

Sation For Better Or Never is fantastic! I would never have picked up this color on my own but I love it so much! It's a one coat wonder with a truly excellent formula. For Better Or Never is a coral base packed small holographic glitter & medium silver & blue glitter. Unique & gorgeous!

Sation For Better Or Never ended up being the perfect polish for my impromptu Halloween night with Ashley. We love Halloween & decided to dress up again even though there wasn't much going on since it was a Wednesday. We had lots of fun! Ashley went as a cat & she dressed me up as a creepy doll.

Stabby, stabby, stab

I love Ashley's leopard print pants!

This kid was tick or treating on a pony & look at those boots!
