Nails Inc Sprinkles collection swatches

Nails Inc Pudding Lane. Three coats.

Nails Inc Sugar House Lane. Three coats. My least favorite of the collection. This was described as a pale grey, but is a brownish taupe.

Nails Inc Sweets Way. Three coats. This one is a bit brighter in person.

Nails Inc Topping Lane. Three coats.

I really like this collection. Not many major brands are doing glitters like these, so it is refreshing to see. The formula on all of them were good. I like that you can get full coverage in three coats, but the glitter is not drowned out by the colored bases. These can be found at Sephora.

Nails Inc Jubilee and other 4th of July looks

Nails Inc Jubilee. Three coats.

Milani Silver and Icing Patriotic Princess over Loreal Jet Set to Paris. The glitter in Patriotic Princess is pretty sparse so I used about 3 coats. One light coat for the Milani.

Gradient with China Glaze Ruby Pumps and a white franken Ang sent me. It is called Helmer's Glue! LOL. And the glitter is Lynnderella Bibbity Bobbity Boo Blue. One coat.

China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Dorothy Who? on alternating fingers with Lynnderella Paper of Pins over it. 

I hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July!

Indies: Elixir Lacquers, Pretty & Polished, and Jaybird swatches

Elixir Lacquers Tricky. Three coats. I had longer than normal drying time with this one. I got a chip on my thumb only three hours after I put this on (I usually get three to four days wear with most polishes). I'm not sure if this polish just didn't like my basecoat or topcoat or what. I will have to to try something different when I wear this again. Other than that, I really love this color.

Nicole by OPI Brilliant Idea over Tricky. Two coats.

Nails Inc Piccadilly Arcade over it all. One coat with a light hand. I did not expect this one to be so opaque. I bet I can get this one opaque in two coats on its own.

Finger Paints Evergreen Dream. Two coats.

Elixir Lacquers Kind of Connery over Evergreen Dream. One coat.

Kind of Connery over a blue jelly with green/blue glitter franken a friend made me which can be seen here. One coat.

Elixir Lacquers Calypso. Two coats over black.

Pretty & Polished Jawbreaker. Three coats. I am disappointed with this one. I was expecting this to be a jelly. The red square glitter has all sunk to the bottom and are impossible to get out. I had the bottle upside down for a while before applying and still did not get any. The picture below was the one showing on the Etsy listing. She really should update the picture with one that is accurate.

Pretty & Polished Flow over Orly Rock Solid. One coat with some touch ups. The large hex glitters in this one curl, so buyers beware. Original post here.

Pretty & Polished Flow over China Glaze No Way Jose. Two coats. Original post here.

Pretty & Polished Hustle over Claire's Blast Off. One coat. Original post here.

Jaybird Junk Basket. Three coats. I never would have thought pink would look good with green glitter but I really love how this looks! Even Mr. Janimal liked this one and he dislikes pinks.

Savvy Purple Potion and Pink Fairy over Junk Basket. One coat of each.

Jaybird Thing 2. Three coats.

Indies: CrowsToes swatches

Nicole by OPI Nothing Kim-pares To Blue. Three coats. 

CrowsToes Bunny Slope over Nothing Kim-pares To Blue. One coat. 

Bunny Slope layered over Revlon Powder Puff. Three coats of Powder Puff and two coats of Bunny Slope. I have swatched Powder Puff before and you can view it here.

BB Couture Balboa Beach Bunny. Two coats. 

CrowsToes Cheshire. One coat with some touch ups. I should mention this is not the complete version. It is missing the large square magenta glitters. I still love it though! Lauri is planning to send replacements sometime this week. :) I received it before I posted so I have added it in!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Loves Me Not. Two coats. I had a defective brush. It is diagonal and uneven. I am already not a huge fan of this brush so it made it difficult to apply, but the formula seemed good. I am usually a three coat person but I was satisfied with just two.

Cheshire over Loves Me Not. One coat with some touch ups. This is the correct version with the big magenta square glitters. There is one on my index finger. The formula was really thick so I added some thinner before applying.

BB Couture Moon Over Manhattan. Two coats. 

CrowsToes Absolum - Your Potions Master over Moon Over Manhattan. Two coats. This one was a bit thick so I added some thinner before applying. 

BB Couture Mendocino Midnight. Two coats. I love this one. It is murky yet full of depth. There is even pink shimmer in this one!

CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond over Mendocino Midnight. Two coats. This one was impossible for me to capture how beautiful it really is. So much so that I swatched it a second time just to try again. I want to say it has the same kind of glitters are the Ozotic Elytras. The formula was thick for me, but nothing a little thinner didn't solve. 

Wet N Wild Black Ice. Four coats. The formula was very thin and runny and the brush was stiff which made application difficult.

CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond over Black Ice. One coat with some touch ups. I like it much better over this color. 

CrowsToes Herat Breaker. Three coats. I love the duochrome on this one. I had some trouble getting the large green glitter from the bottle. They have all sunk to the bottom and didn't want to come out even when I had the bottle upside down before using it. This is now known as Murder by #s.

CrowsToes Thing over Herat Breaker. One coat with some touch ups to even out the glitter distribution.

Jessica Pajama Party. Three coats. The bottle is in the shape of a paint can. While this is cute, it is a lot wider than normal polishes which made the cap awkward to hold. The formula was runny. So, runny formula plus weird cap made it difficult to apply. The polish was making a run to flood my cuticles. 

CrowsToes Thing over Pajama Party. One coat. I used a lighter hand with the glitter this time around than my previous swatch, so that is why they look so different. This was a special gift from Lauri that came with my order. :)

She is so cute and sweet. You can purchase these polishes from her store at: http://crowstoesnailcolor.bigcartel.com/

I really love all of her polishes. They were a bit on the thick side for me, but I prefer my glitters pretty thin to help with application. I just thought I should mention that before someone believes that I think the formulas are bad. They are not; it is just my personal preference.

Manglaze swatches

There are a lot of them, so I've put them behind a jump. :)
