3 coats

Not gonna lie, I'm not a huge fan of this on me. It kind of makes my hands look icky. This looks great on so many people! I'm jealous. Anyway, this is a beige with holo shimmer. The application was great, and I think I could have stopped at two coats. I really should start writing these details down... :]

FYI: Butter London renamed this to All Hail The Queen. Probably for legal reasons. Either way, don't fret. It's the same shade.

Oi, if only it looked like this all the time. 

To celebrate my return to square nails, I decided to do a funky french mani. I tried squoval and round, but I think square fits my nails best.

I used Butter London Marrow and a Color Club striper in Black Hologram for the tips. My top coat is Orly Love Each Other. If you enlarge the picture, you should be able to see the pretty purple shimmer.

I have put together a set of items that would make the perfect New Year's Eve look:

Benefit Bad Gal Lash

China Glaze Cheers To You set

NARS Deep Throat

Rock & Republic Tyrant

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay Vapor & Oil Slick

2 coats, Sinful Pearl Harbor accent

May I just say how much I love Gelous?? It makes my polishes wear like iron, no lie! This picture was taken after 4 days of wear. I normally don't keep my polish on that long, but I was feeling lazy. Anyway, about Going Incognito. It's a gorgeous deep emerald with a dusty quality to it. The formula is grrrrrreat! Almost a one coater and so shiny and smooth. Essie Winter as a whole was just a total surprise love for me.

Gift Of Gold is a super dense gold and copper glitter in a clear base. It's thiiiick! Maybe a couple drops of thinner may help? Maybe. Anyway, I was hoping for something as good as/better than Dazzled By Gold, but no dice. It's still pretty, though. This is similar to the Burlesque glitter. 

2 coats

Plum Full Of Cheer is a deep plum with gold pearl. Again, the gold doesn't translate, but adds depth. This totally reminds me of Zoya Valerie with a different finish. That's probably why I love it so much. I love purples, so it's not surprise this is my favorite. Visions of Sugarplum was my favorite of the three last year, too!

Overall, I'm pleased with this set. They're worth having if you don't have anything similar yet.

OPI's are buy 2 get 1 free right now, so you could get all three of these for a great price. If you don't have an Ulta near you, these are definitely not worth taking a road trip! Ask a friend or swap for them. 

It's so fun! I tried to capture how blingy it is, but I got super blurry instead. I think I confused my camera with this one. 

Yay!
