Craving For Alice

The glitterisation of my brain is in its prime phase, and the Christmas stuff and decorations all around are only reinforcing it : ) Today I'll shift a bit from traditional red-green-white Xmas scheme to the blue side of the colour range. I decided to do a glitter layering - gold over electric blue. I wanted to try this combination long ago, mostly because I'm still craving for OPI Absolutely Alice, which is unreal to find for reasonable money :{


As a base I was using Amour Blue Glitter, a lovely dense electric blue glitter, which I always dig out of my stash in winter time. I already showed it here, but I decided to do a bit of reswatching : ) Two coats and top coat on the photos below.

As much as I like this polish by itself, I layered it with one thin coat of Andreia #93 (you can see it alone here), and I was very satisfied with the combination : ) Blue glitter with the sparkles of gold, how cool is that..





Although it may not be a dupe of Absolutely Alice - Alice has a darker blue base, now that I did this layering  I want Alice much less. Why bother, if I can mix up or layer something similar.. But to mix up Mad As A Hatter (which I also crave) - now THAT is the challenge : )

Weekend = Glitter

Quick post to prove that I don't only work like crazy (*sigh*) but also sometimes have weekends : ) And weekends for me is the time to wear all crazy shades I have, including glitters of course!! Today I'm showing one of really_rocking_glitter: Amour with a very inventive name Blue Glitter. And it's not simply blue, it's this electric blue, the colour I adore since my very childhood :) 





What can I say, I just love it!! Thanks to one wonderful person for sending me this! Such a festive and wintery colour.. Application was fine, removing was a bitch, 2 coats - yea, it's a very dense glitter. Can't wait to do some sponging with it : )

And a very random bonus pic: it's a whole bowl of tiramisu I cooked to say thanks to one of my friends who gave me so much support when I had uneasy time. Nails included, of course : )


What do you think about such glitter polishes? Why not or rather not? : )
