Model City Polish Licker (Resident Evil Collection) Coral for Spring

***press sample***

Here is the delicious Licker from the Model City Polish Resident Evil inspired Collection. Granted the character is less than appetizing but this color will knock your socks off.

Licker is a coral nail polish flecked with gold and fine pink micro shimmer. Can you see the red flecks too? This sunny coral radiates and sparkles beautifully. Perfect for Spring and Summer ☼

Urban Lacquer Glittery + Bright 2013 glitter topper, an unsurpassed beauty for all seasons!

***press sample***

Holy COW - I promised you a stellar glitter bomb and Brenda from the crazy good Urban Lacquer did not disappoint! Feast your eyes on this insane glitter:

indoor macro goodness under OttLite
 
I think this color would blow your mind with a holographic red underneath but I chose a readily available mass market brand so you too can achieve this look with little hassle.

Here are the steps I took & then on to the pictures!
1. Sally Hansen Double Duty base & top coat used for base
2. 2 coats Orly Red Flare
3. 2 coats Urban Lacquer Glittery + Bright 2013 (my absolute, hands down favorite)
4. 1 coat Gelous
5. 1 coat HKG top coat for that amazing glass shine
 
Urban Lacquer's description: "A sparkling combination of red, pink, gold, and iridescent glitter, with a smattering of light purple glitter (to keep things interesting!), in a clear base." Let me stress the IRRIDESCENT because that is what makes this polish dazzle beyond words. I'm so thrilled with this color! And IMHO, there is some holographic glitter too - look at the rainbow effect. To know me is to get me & my holo love affair ☼

Now hurry on over there because I can honestly say, and I've said it before, these polishes give Lynnderella a run for her money. And this one will go quickly!

Application was a breeze. No fishing for glitter, the base was thick and packed with goodies in every swipe. I have exhausted my superlatives. RUN!
 
Please take a moment to look at the other beautiful Urban Lacquer polishes reviewed on my blog on December 3rd, Chimney-Burn-with-Lit-Up Like the Tree. They are mesmerizing. I want to thank Brenda for her generosity and to let her know she is one classy dame with a creative hand at color combining ♥ Happy polishing, dolls ☼

Fantasy Makers R.I.P. Once Upon a Time Halloween red glittah fest

Fantasy Makers R.I.P. Once Upon a Time Halloween red glittah fest

This color is part of Wet n Wild's Halloween 2012 collection. The bottles are rectangular with a rounded faux granite "headstone" top that reads R.I.P. Adorable.

Stunning dark grey gel base color that keeps building to black and sandwiches the red chunky glitter to your customization. Love the depth you can achieve with one product. This is 2 coats of Fantasy Makers R.I.P. Once Upon a Time over Yellow Stopper base coat with Hong Kong Girl top coat. IRL it reads as a black polish with shots of red but in order to capture the glitter, I had to take the picture in bright sunlight.

Enjoy...
