Just in time for Spring! Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop

I have been lemming this polish for MONTHS and now it is finally MINE.  Mine!!!!! Muah-ah-ah-ah!!!
I found the Deborah Lippmann Get This Party Started trio on amazon.com for a very reasonable price and snatched it up.  You have to understand my excitement, especially since these are my very 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Deborah Lippmann polishes ever.  I'll post pics of the other 2 another time, but I had to share Candy Shop right away because it is so perfect for this time of year with Spring's arrival and Easter around the corner.  This polish is just so vibrant, colorful and fun.  Best of all, application was a breeze.  Although the formula was thick, which worried me a tad, it was not a problem whatsoever.  There is glitter in every brushstroke and I didn't have to worry about the glitter lying flat or uneven distribution.  It was that awesome. This is one that I will definitely be wearing again in the near future.

So, without further delay, this is Candy Shop in all it's glittery jelly goodness...

( - I used Nail Life Gripper base coat, 3 coats of Candy Shop and topped it off with a single layer of SV -)

Wet N Wild Behind Closed Doors - Swatched!

Here’s a little bit of Wet N’ Wild for you. I love Wet N’ Wild because, they are constantly putting out new and exciting polishes and are always very inexpensive in comparison to other brands - usually @ around as little as $1.99 a pop to, on the high side, $3.99-$4.99 each. Not bad on the wallet, eh?
This precious polish, called Behind Closed Doors, I picked up after searching many, many, MANY Walgreen’s for it. And now, it is MINE! :::Maniacal Laugh, Maniacal Laugh, Maniacal Laugh:::
This polish can be built up on it’s own and has more of a jelly-like consistency. It has a smoky blackish base with hexagonal red glitter and teeny tiny round red glitter. Application wasn’t too bad, usually these kind of polishes require finessing and arranging of the glitter as you layer. I used several coats for this manicure with a SV top coat, as usual. I think Behind Closed Doors works better as a layering polish over red or black, although I admit I didn‘t try it on its own. In these swatches, I layered Behind Closed Doors over Butter London’s Knees Up. All in all, I think the manicure turned out quite nice. What do you think?
