#30DaysofColourChallenge - GLITTER

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 15 is Glitter and I always seem to gravitate to this Deborah Lippmann polish.  It is Let's Go Crazy.  It is is a dark purple-based jelly polish with red, green, blue, gold, light purple and fuchsia glitter of round and hexagon shapes. Coverage is good for a glitter polish, as it is very thick. The glitter actually sits below the surface so it gives the ‘jelly sandwich manicure’ look.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - TEXTURED

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 14 is a textured polish and this is Zoya's Carter.  Carter is part of Zoya's 2013 Fall collection.  It is a rich purple textured polish with pink/purple 'pixie dust.'  It is a bit on the thick side, but I used 2 coats with no problems.  This polish is a stunner!

#30DaysofColourChallenge - DUOCHROME

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 13 is a duochrome.  This is not my favourite type of polish, I don't like the streaks (even with top-coat), nor do I like taking photographs of it...I own very few of them.  This is OPI's Peace & Love & OPI.  This is part of the 2013 San Francisco collection and it is a grey base with blue and purple flashing through it.  This looks so much better in the sun.
