Jellyfishes + Sweets

Oh hey you cool dude!!! Welcome back. Hopefully your Monday hasn't been too bad. Basically I am the Queen of procrastination, NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN :/ Levels of procrastination are high. The nail art today is rather random. I wanted glitter (standard), I was like "OMG (to be said as one word) GLITTER GIMME!!!". I based the nail art off the names and the general feel of the glitter polishes.


I really like it. When painting I was extremely sceptical, especially before I'd painted the faces. It was not looking so hot. But I don't give up and if it looks bad I learn. But I find it weirdly works together, the colours work and generally it's pretty cute. I like the jellyfishes best.

I'll start with the jellyfishes and the sweets.
The pink jellyfish was put into existence with the brush of Orly - Basket Case and a toothpick. Same goes for the orange/peach jellyfish which was Essie - Tart Deco.
The blue sweet was Essie - Bikini So Teeny outlined with Kiko - 265, with the same painting methods as the jellyfishes. The green sweets was Illamasqua - Nomad and OPI - Jade Is The New Black. The purple sweet was Barry M - Berry Ice Cream and OPI - Plum And Get It.
Details for the eyes and mouths were Lovely Me:Ex - Black and White (as always).

And a picture of the bases by themselves, which I have Gimme Glitter posts for both. Want more pictures with more polish accuracy? Click the names of the corresponding polish.
I used 3 coats of Nails Inc - Sweets Way. The silver glitter looks white which makes me love this polish even more. I also really like the contrast between the 2 polishes, just in general I love contrasting things.
And 2/3 coats of Orly - Go Deeper over 2 coats of Revlon - Dreamer. You can make Go Deeper opaque by itself, but I didn't want to. I have to say Go Deeper is the bomb (I know no one says "the bomb" anymore but I don't like conforming to the norms of society!!! ;)), I feel like having it on this time has made me see the light. It's awesome!! The depth is gorgeous, the colour of the base is so nice and the glitter peaking out is whoazas!! It's slightly more green-toned in real life but my Gimme Glitter post has better pictures :)

Thanks for reading!!! I hope you have a great day!! :D

Gimme Glitter: Orly - Go Deeper

Hey there, I hope you're all great this Sunday evening. I'm not sure how I'm feeling, I'd like to be able to pinpoint it but I can't. I am the queen of procrastination and I really need to do something. Like writing this post is also procrastinating, it never ends!! Anyway this is a polish that I've lemmed (I feel weird about using this phrase) since last August when I saw it on The PolishAholic (let's not even lie I want everything I see on The PolishAholic), I think it entire Flash Glam collection is so awesome and it makes me wish that Boots would carry more Orly polishes.

When the light hits the glitter within it's SO GORGEOUS. My camera made it too blue but editing fixes these things (kind of). It's a teal base with small green and blue glitter, larger pieces of green and holographic glitter. The holographic glitter makes it amazing, and Go Deeper is the perfect name for this polish, they nailed it (hehe unintentional pun :P). 

I put this over Revlon - Dreamer, which made no difference whatsoever as the teal is pretty opaque. I used 3 coats, 2 thick and 1 thin. It was very shiny by itself, it probably takes a while to dry because of the jellyness of the polish. After it dried (with topcoat) I thought it could dent easily, but it doesn't. I got my finger jammed in my locker (we'll not talk about this) and no dents, maybe I was lucky. When I first put it on I was a bit disappointed (I don't know what I was expecting) but after a couple of moments I really liked it. It looks amazing in the bottle by the way. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day!! :)
