Check this one out!

 Two coats of Orly Rococo A-Go-Go (name, y u so silly?!).

 The formula was a bit too thick and almost tricky for me - I definitely should have just thinned it right away.

 Still, it's absolutely to die for, and it turned out just fine!

 The next day, I added a coat of Inglot 202 flakes.  Here are a few indoor pics first.

 YIKES!  SO BEAUTIFUL!

 As you will see in a moment, the flakes look mostly orange in the bottle, so I was pleasantly surprised to see so much green come out to play!

 It's rainbow-rific, that's for sure.

 Now for some outdoor pictures.

 Can you even stand it?!

 I definitely need to wear more flakes.  Definitely.

 I really like the Inglot flakies because they come out so dense and easily.  I just wish the bottle wasn't so tiny!

 What are your favorite flakes?

 It's nice to see so many companies jumping on the bandwagon now.

 Hopefully we won't be having any more flakie polish shortages in the near future.  :)

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

I stalked this polish for a while. I wanted it so bad! It's Orly Fowl Play.

I finally found it at an Ulta store (one far from my home) yesterday. Hooray!

Here it is at three coats. I absolutely love it. So much.

It has tiny silver glitter pieces, bigger blue glitter pieces, as well as gorgeous orange flakies.

And the base is a purple jelly! It's love. It applied perfectly.

I do have OPI Merry Midnight, but I wanted this one as well. I haven't compared them side by side myself, but I've heard that they are slightly different. I wish there were more polishes like this in other colors!!

Yesterday I decided to use some new OPI Shatter polishes for both my pedi and mani. Yes! I'm Shattered from tip to toe! I started with three coats of Orly Here Comes Trouble.

Here Comes Trouble is this grass green, vibrant glitter polish with teeny tiny glitters and then medium sized glitters. It reminds me of Crayola green, if you get my drift. Very bright, very pretty.

It was actually still a bit sheer at three coats, so had I been wearing it all by itself, I think I would have opted for a fourth coat. But, knowing I was going to Shatter it, I didn't worry about it at all.

I added OPI Navy Shatter.

I love the fact that Navy Shatter is a jelly finish!! It lets some of the glitter shine through from below, just barely, which is really cool. I also am fairly pleased with the shatter pattern that I got using a medium-ish coat.

The sad part is that the Navy looks pretty well black indoors. But at least I know it's Navy!

You know, I had really thought before that Shatter/Crackle made my nubby short nails look even shorter. Now I'm feeling like it's making my long nails look longer. Is there some optical illusion here or am I crazy?!

This is Orly Royal Velvet. I used three coats here. It is a majestic, flashy, duochrome blurple.

No problems with application.

I absolutely adore this color. It's just perfect.

The duochrome seems to really come out the most in artificial lighting, oddly enough. I took some pictures in my bathroom lighting that you will see soon, below.

Recently my husband looked at my blog and remarked that I post too many pictures of the polish. He said I only need one or two.

Oh, good Husband, I need lots of pictures because they are all so pretty!! ;)

Maybe someday there will be a Mr. Dr. DizzyNails blog and he will just put one or two pictures up per post.

Let's all stay tuned for that!

I have to say that I had a really good nail polish day. I found the new Target Nicole by OPIs!

I was so excited and bought all the ones I wanted (which was nearly all of them).

In fact, I just put on Sea How Far You Go and that will be my next post.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Listen up! This is important. My camera lens was still smudged when I took all of these pictures. I realize how lame that is...and especially on such a life-changing manicure combination. But it is what it is. Live and learn.

I used three coats of Orly Space Cadet, possibly the world's single greatest nail polish.

Then I added a coat of pa A126.

After I did this combo, I realized that this is practically my dream polish - the one I had hoped to create through Illamasqua's recent contest! Zoinks!!

How freaking fabulous is that?!?! I wanted it to look like the Orion Nebula (you can Google that for images - simply breath-taking and one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen).

The next time I use Space Cadet I'll have to play around with it more to see if I can come up with a more perfect version of my dream polish. ;) I want to see how it looks layered over darker base colors. And I'm not sure if this particular glitter is the one I want to represent the stars (despite it's awesomeness).

I recently bought a back-up bottle of Space Cadet, which makes me very happy. I'm going to pass on MAC's dupe, Mean & Green.

I know you've probably already been over-exposed to this beaut, but hopefully you won't fault me for forcing you to see it some more.

I have only one picture of this, taken in my bathroom. I did two coats of Orly Viridian Vinyl, no top coat.

The picture doesn't look too terrible, but the application was rather dreadful for me. The polish was thick and goopy and I felt that it was hard to control and went on unevenly. I was so unhappy about the application and overall appearance that I took this straight off even before it dried. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime...after thinning it?

I just figured out that I skipped a bunch of manis from who knows how long ago. D'oh! Lost files! This started with three coats of Orly Velvet Rope. PRETTY!

It has teeny tiny little silver glitter bits.

Then I did layering skittles with various Savvy shimmers. I'll break it down for you.

The bottle above is Glass Slipper and it is layered over the thumb.

Above is the bottle of Pink Fairy and it is layered over the index finger.

Above is the Magic Pumpkin bottle and it's layered over the middle finger. Cool, huh?

Above the bottle is Fairy Twinkle and it is over the ring finger.

The bottle above is Purple Potion and, you guessed it, it is layered on the pinky finger.

Same above, different lighting.

Above the bottle is Fairy Twinkle, again, and it is on the ring finger.

Magic Pumpkin bottle. It's on the middle finger. Can you even believe that it looks turquoise?! Love it!! These Savvys are definitely going to be lots of fun. I bet they look awesome over black, too.
