Orly Macabre Masquerade

     Today, I have Macabre Masquerade from Orly's Secret Society collection to show you guys. Macabre Masquerade has silver, pink, red, teal, and navy blue micro glitter in a metallic blue base. I hope you are ready for your Valkyrie genes to be triggered. This polish is a glitter bomb. In fact it's so glittery that It was literally impossible to take pictures of this polish with a flash. So without further ado, here's Macabre Masquerade:

     In these pictures I used three coats of  Macabre Masquerade and a heavy coat of top coat.  Macabre Masquerade applies easily and dries quickly. My only real complaint about this polish is that removal is a beast. Glitter every where! I had to wash my hands twice after the polish was removed to get rid of all the clinging tiny glitters. But I still love it. Blue glitter is one of my favorite kinds of glitter. Anyway that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Sally Girl Butta

     Today, I have a swatch of Sally Girl Butta (yeah the name is kinda dumb) to share with you guys. Butta is a graphite-ish metallic grey polish with small silver glitter and medium size teal glitter in it. This is another one of those polishes where you're going to be all "Why doesn't this come in a bigger bottle?" It's seriously that pretty. So without further ado. Here is Butta:

     I used three coats of Butta for the pictures above (no undies), two light coats and a heavy coat, then topped it with a heavy layer of top coat. As with most glitter heavy polishes this one eats topcoat alive so go pretty heavy handed with it. The formula is a tad on the sheer side, but it dries quickly and applies easily. Over all I really like this polish. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle. But for 99₵ at Sally Beauty Supply, can I really complain? I can but I won't. I will definitely be picking up a few more of this itty-bitty bottle of glittery Valkyrie trance inducing goodness. It's dark, it's sparkly, and can I just tell you I love the dark base bright blue glitter combo. Anyway, that's all I have for you today. Until Next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Lac Attack Beauxbatons Academy

     Sorry, I've been MIA this week but I've had a really bad sore throat/cold/viral plague infestation, and it's been kicking my butt. I'm still sick but I decided I didn't want to leave you guys hanging so I did a bigger post for today to make up for my sick butt slacking the last couple of days. free warning this will be a picture heavy post.
     Today, I am going to show you guys Beauxbatons Academy from Lac Attack's Magical Musings collection. Beauxbatons Academy is a milky bluish-white base with blue hexagonal glitter, darker blue micro glitter, white matte square glitter, and yellow matte micro glitter in it. For this post I swatched Beauxbatons Academy two ways, once by itself and once with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls as underwear.

No Underwear:

     *All pictures are with four thin coats (But you could probably get away with two heavy coats....I just always smudge the heavy coats before they dry so I do thin coats instead) of Beauxbatons Academy and a layer of topcoat.

With Underwear (OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls):

If you haven't checked out Lac Attack's nail polish out yet head over to her website here and see what you've been missing. And to see when she restocks all her pretty polishes follow her on Facebook or Twitter. 

     And lastly, my final thoughts on Beauxbatons Academy. Beauxbatons Academy with underwear is lighter, has less glitter and the white underwear (of OPI) comes though blotting out the pale smokey bluish-white base. With Beauxbatons Academy on it's own, you see a lot more glitter, more depth, and the pale smokey bluish-white base comes through. What do you ladies think? To wear underwear or not to wear underwear? I personally prefer it commando (no underwear required). I like the dept that you only get by layering Beauxbatons Academy over itself. This polish is so amazing it doesn't need panties. Lac Attacks motto "Fiercely Unique Nail Lacquer" is absolutely correct she makes the most unique Indies around. Nothing else looks quite like this polish. Well that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
