Painted Sabotage: Angel Wings

Another preview of what's to come for my 3 year blogiversary (if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, this is another preview, if you don't... well, you should). Painted Sabotage  was awesome and sent some polish over, including one for me (Thank you Chrissy!!!). Angel Wings is amazing.. and hard to photograph. So I started with a base of OPI Taupe-less Beach followed by two coats of Angel Wings (you could totally do one but I'm addicted to the glitters in this polish). Angel Wings is a sheer purple base that has beautiful shimmer with the added fun of hex and round iridescent glitters that shine! SHINE! I couldn't seem to get my lighting right inside (and it was rainy outside), so the inset picture is the bottle which represents the real shine from the glitter on the nail. It's like little lights, pretty amazing. I'm loving the delicate yet eye catching look of this combo. Chrissy's polishes retail for $9.75, the formula was flawless for Angel Wings and her shipping is fast. Check her out at her Etsy shop and follow her on Facebook to get up to date info.

Polish Me Silly- Haywire

 I have an indie swatch for you today: Polish Me Silly's Haywire. It's kind of crazy. I started with one coat of Milani fast dry white as a base, but still ended up doing two coats of Haywire. For the most part it came out even and did not take too much effort to get appropriate glitter distribution. The matte glitter in this polish are so great: blue, green, pink, orange, yellow... large hex, small circles, small shreds, it's great. One coat of SV (pretty thick coat) smoothed it all out as well.
I wanted to stamp over this but by day 3 it started chipping and stamping over a chipped mani doesn't work for me, so it came off. By the way, I recommend foiling this off, the glitter is nuts and sticks to your nail even though the color comes off the glitter, the structure itself is still there. I hate glitter polish, but this wasn't too bad to remove. Would be best foiled off though. Overall a cute polish and it's cheery, so I'll take it.
