NOTD: Hard Candy for Fuchsia Glamour

I know a lot of polish addicts are really into indie polishes with matte glitters, I am only beginning to like them. That said I was surprised when in USA I couldn’t resist buying a top coat polish from Hard Candy called 651 Black The Optional. Matte glitter in (or on top of) cream finish polishes were always “blah” to me, I wasn’t interested, it seemed too dull. Well I guess taste changes through time =) I had to have this one! When I came back to Slovenia the L’Oreal stands surprised me with a very similar version of this one, the famous “Confettis”. Well this one is a little bit different and I like it better ^ ^ I accented my ring finger and my thumb on the existent manicure I showed in the previous post and here is the result:

  
 


The easiest way to get this glitter on the nail is to blotch it on, I did have to fish it out a bit. The Confettis polish doesn’t contain these small sticks that’s why I think my polish is better. =P It is true though that some of them were sticking out from the surface and annoyed me so I pulled them off, thankfully with no harm done to the manicure =) What do you think? =)

NOTD: NYC 148 Fuchsia Glamour

Today I’ll show you another one of my polishes from USA. I’m not sure about the price anymore but I know this one was ridiculously cheap, about 1$. I knew I wouldn’t have time to do my manicure during the week so I chose this one because it’s work appropriate. The weather conditions were bad for taking photos but I’ve managed to catch some sunrays in between =) Here are the photos, you can see some were taken when the sun was out and some when it hid behind the clouds:

  
   
The polish is very sheer so I painted it in three layers, but I suspected it was going to be like that beforehand. I got a bubble here and there because of the layers but nothing horrible. I had to apply it carefully to nicely even it out as it is usually the deal with these kind of milky colored polishes, but I had no bigger problems with that either. What surprised me was the durability of this one, today (Sunday – I’m scheduling this post =P) it’s the eighth day I’m wearing it and even the tip wear is minimal to nonexistent! (I do plan to finally change my manicure today though =D) Later on I upgraded this manicure which I’ll show in the next post… =) Thanks for checking it out! =)
