For this mani, I started with two coats of SpaRitual's Sacred Ground.

 You've probably all seen this one before.  It's super popular and for a good reason!

 Sacred Ground is a beautiful gray shimmer polish that has the most enchanting multi-colors hiding in the shimmer.

 Mostly you'll notice bluish-purple, gold, and then silver.

 It's very lovely and I enjoyed the formula as well.

 I think this is my first time wearing a SpaRitual polish!

 Later in the same day, I added two coats of TiNS The Starlets.

 The Starlets is disco ball style silver holo hex glitter suspended in a clear base.

 I really love the effect as the glitter twinkles and nearly lights up!  It's so twinkly it looks like lights anyway.  :)

I realize that the TiNS glitter totally killed the subtlety of the shimmah in Sacred Ground...and I'm completely okay with that!

 Taking amazing and accurate pictures of Girly Bits Cosmic Ocean was HARD.

 And I promise you that none of my pictures here are even remotely as stunning and beautiful as Cosmic Ocean is in person!  Not a bit!

 Here I've used one coat of black (a-england Camelot) and one coat of Cosmic Ocean over it.

 Cosmic Ocean sparkles and shines so much in the sun!  In indoor lighting it absolutely glows and looks like it's alive from within.

 It shifts rather dramatically from green to blue and then at times to an even deeper, royal blurple.

 It instantly made me think of peacock feathers!!

It's like having some sort of insane and glorious interpretation of peacock feathers on your nails.  I completely 100% heart it.

 These pictures here were taken indoors, and show more vivid and interesting shifts, I think.

 Still, SO MUCH BETTER in person.

 I'm wearing Girly Bits Street Magic as my pedi right now (over Diamond Cosmetics Under the Willow Tree - a dark teal sort of green) and I feel all decked out in color morphing pigment awesomeness!  Street Magic shifts from green to bronze to gold to olive to rust.  If you haven't heard about Pam's Girly Bits nail polishes yet,*you can learn more at her blog here.

 Okay!  Here is my quick and dirty comparison of Laura Mercier Twilight.  I used two coats of each polish shown (although, admittedly, Neeka very well could have been a one coater).  They are all quite similar in color and tone - with just color they looked really similar in my bathroom lighting.

 Paradoxal is maybe a hair more brown than the others and Neeka is definitely just a little more blue-toned than the others.

I've included this awful, blurry flash picture because it reveals the differences a little better than just the fluoro shots alone.  I hope this helps someone!  Here is a link back to my original Twilight post.

 These are two sad, sad pictures of a polish I really love:  NerdLacquer It's Just a Flesh Wound.  I used two coats of polish and finished with three - that's right - three coats of BB Couture for Nails Top-Rock.  It's tragically bumpy and lumpy, although, at least, in some types of light it wasn't as apparent as it is here.

First off, I found the polish to be slightly less amazing on the nail as it is in the bottle - probably because the black is so opaque (normally a really good thing).  If I had it to do over again, I would layer a coat of IJaFW over Boosh.  And, if that didn't do the trick, I might wait until the polish dried and then very lightly graze over the tops with a felt pad and remover to reveal more of the glitters.  All that said, I do still adore this combination and loved how it looked on.

What you can't see well here is all the tiny delicate shimmer that is in this polish!  SO MUCH.  So gorgeous.  And why, you ask, did I decide to use BB Couture Top-Rock over this one?  I don't even know.  I was rummaging in my drawers for a new bottle of Gelous and didn't find one.  I did find two new bottles of Top-Rock, though, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.  It did dry relatively fast (not SV fast, though) and is extremely shiny.  Just couldn't handle the glitter and shimmers, though.  Also, I had bad chipping in under 24, so I'm gonna have to blame the poor BBC top coat for that, as well.

 Here is two coats of NerdLacquer Event Horizon.

 This polish is super awesome and was easy to apply.  It reminds me of a smaller glittered version of Lippmann's Across the Universe.

Also, can I just say that the movie Event Horizon scared the bejeezus out of me?!  Learn more about NerdLacquer here.

 Why hello, lovely Chameleon Mari Moon!  Aren't you pretty?!

 This is two coats swatched over clear base coat with no top coat.

 This one applied relatively well, despite the brush needing a nice little trim.

Stay tuned for more Mari Moon swatches!

 Cool!  Yeah, that's the name.  Cool surprised me by being awesomely pigmented.

 These swatches are shown at two coats over a clear base and with no top coat.  I would definitely wear this as a mani with just two coats!

 This is probably my second favorite of the Mari Moons!  I really like the richness and depth.

Want to know my very favorite?  You'll have to wait a little longer!

 This is two coats of Cutie Pie, shown over a clear base coat with no top coat.

 Are you wondering what the heck Mari Moon means, like I am?  Well, apparently it's the stage name of a VJ on Brazilian MTV!  It looks like Mariana sells clothes, has vibrantly colored hair, and that the actual name "Mari Moon" was inspired by the Japanese Sailor Moon.  Cool!

 To my dear Brazilian readers, feel free to add any pertinent or fun information in the comments!  :)

 Cutie Pie is just lovely.  Blue, pink, and purple make me swoon.

Again, I would probably opt for three coats or to layer this over black for an actual manicure.  It looks just fine at two coats for these quick swatch pics, though.  Another beautiful Mari Moon awaits you tomorrow!

 Greetings, Nation!!  I have Mari Moon swatches for you!

 Yesterday was overcast and gloomy out (which is perfect for multichrome pictures, by the way), plus I was coming off of the week wearing Sally Hansen heart stickers, so, I figured a little swatch sesh was in order!  I've had the Hits Mari Moons for a while, I just haven't gotten around to trying them out until now.

 This here is two coats of Artsy shown over clear base coat and without top coat.  If I was wearing this as a mani I probably would've added a third coat just to be sure there weren't any translucent areas.  That, or layered it over black.

The brush on Artsy (along with every Mari Moon I have, save for one) was no fun and a challenge to work with.  I find the shape to be difficult for getting close to the cuticle area.  Also, there were splayed out bits and pieces.  I trimmed off the offending bits with my trusty Tweezerman cuticle nippers, which helped.

Instead of showing you all the swatches at once, in one ginormous post, I'm going to stretch it out.  :)  Stay tuned for all the others!

 These are Sally Hansen Salon Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips in "Speed Dating."  These first two pictures were taken the morning after I applied them.

 The hearts have a cool gradient effect with red and orange.  It's subtle, but nice.  I was pleased with my fit and application.  I've picked up a few tricks having done these several times now!  :)

 This is the first time I have not used any top coat during the process of wearing these stickers.  Here, above and below, are the gratuitous pictures taken this morning, on the beginning of day seven!  I did buff them quickly with the Revlon Crazy Shine buffer, just to perk them up.

I have some tip wear, yes, some out-growth, yes, but they are still looking gosh darn good, I'd say!  While I have so many fantastical polishes I'm eager to wear, I will confess that it's been sweet not changing my polish at all this week.  What a nice break!  I plan on wearing these strips in the beginning of March when I take a week long trip to visit my grandparents.  Then I won't have to worry about packing polish and that sort of thing.  :)

 I recently wore this combination:  NerdLacquer I Aim to Misbehave with Lynnderella Liquid Valentine.

 I started with two coats of I Aim to Misbehave.  Then I added one coat of Lynnderella's Liquid Valentine.

 I had a horrible time using Glitter Tamer (which has happened to me before), so I ultimately did not wear this for long at all.  As it was drying more fully, there were very noticeable streak marks.  :(

 I'm not exactly sure why this happens and why only sometimes, but I know I am not alone in finding Glitter Tamer very tricky to work with.  It is awesome for lots of people, though, so I'm not knocking it.  I just think for my own sanity, I should be using it much less (if at all!).

 At least I managed to get these beautiful pictures before everything went yucko!  :)  I think the two polishes looked so perfect together.

 Here are some indoor pictures of I Aim to Misbehave all by itself, two coats with top coat.  It's a top coat hungry glitter, but so ridiculously pretty and complex.  The thing that surprised me about this one is how it's amazingly complicated and enchanting to look at yet so seemingly simple, all at the same time!

 Just look at everything going on in that bottle.  It's a crazy mess of wonderful glitters and shimmers.  I think it ends up looking slightly more plummy on the nail where it seems a bit more maroon in the bottle.

It's absolutely lovely to look at and wear.  I highly recommend NerdLacquer!  Color me obsessed.  I must continue to have them all.
