Teal Tuesdays - Glitterbomb!


 

This week's Tealicure is a Glitterbomb! Well, then, bombs away! This magical mani is made up of four glitters all over OPI Skull & Glossbones (hence the bottle shot here). I love how this turned out! :)


Here are the four gorgeous glitters! Yummy! Once Upon a Polish Under the Sea, Essence Edward, China Glaze Atlantis, and Sally Hansen Teal-y Cool.



Macro bottle shot of Once Upon a Polish Under the Sea. Um, gorgeous! Teal hex glitter with silver square glitter! Perfection! And did I mention they are holos? Yep!


Macro bottle shot of Essence Edward. Bahahahaha! Still makes me laugh that he is the glitter out of the Twins (Bella being the creme). This is a lovely teal square and hex glitters with micro holo glitters.


Macro bottle shot of China Glaze Atlantis. This is made up of billions of teal micro holo glitters in a teal base! Love!


Macro bottle shot of Sally Hansen Teal-y Cool. Can I just say that Sally Hansen bottles are very lame to do macro shots with. Their sticker covers the whole bottle! Grrr! But this is a lesser version, lessed packed with glitters than Atlantis but it is still lovely!


Here is a macro of one of my fingers to show you the layers of this mani. I love how it turned out! And see! You can see Skull & Glossbones peeking out at the top! :)


And a final photo, the hallelujah sun shot photo of my Glitterbomb Tealicure. Boo-yah! :)

Now, question for you all. How do you prefer the photos? I decided to change it up yesterday and today. If I do my photos more vertical I can get the whole polish bottle in the picture.

So my question to you all (and to see if you truly are reading this post! Hahaha, no not really!) should I continue with the vertical photos like above or go back to the horizontal photos (ex: the bottle shot photo of the four glitters I used). Thank you for your input! :)

Weekend Haul!


Today was suppose to be my Teal Tuesday post but I was sick all day yesterday and had to work yesterday so I put together this quick post of what I bought over the weekend.

(l-r): OPI Samoan Sand (so happy I found this! Now I can do more Jelly Sandwiches not using white!), Agent Lavender (a purple grey, and nothing like the blue that shows up here!). The last two polishes are a new brand to me, though I have seen them swatched before. They are Sation polishes. The first one is Videogame Vixen which is a clear base with black and silver glitter in micro and small hexes! The second one Band Beauty which is a clear base with multi-colored micro and small hexed glitters. Some of the hexes are even holo-like!


Micro bottle shot of Sation Videogame Vixen. Loving this glitter and the name! :)


Micro bottle shot of Sation Band Beauty. Sorry it's a bit blurry. Nothing wanted to work out today. But I'm loving this glitter too! It's more of the pastel multi-colors and not the basic primary multi-colors.


Also bought some glitters to play around with so see if they hold up to polish! This is a bronze micro glitter.


Another thing of glitter to play with! Bronze hex glitter. I'm really lemming a brown glitter and these are the closest I could find. I hope the don't bleed or curl! I just need to buy some base and I will keep you updated!


Oh, what's this? Could it possibly be the newest Bundle Monster plate set? Why yes, yes it is! Woot woot! I'm so excited to try them! This is my first Bundle Monster set!
