Illyrian: Gold Lion stamped!

Remember that pretty charcoal grey with sparks of copper shimmer that I reviewed a few days ago?

I stamped it!

I used the cascading dot design from the Lina Lovely Leaves plate.

The stamping polish is Kaleidoscope copper flame, 32. It is my very favorite copper stamping polish!

Then I topped this nail art mani with Cold As Ice from Different Dimension. It looks pretty fantastic!

Illyrian: Gold Lion

I was delighted when I saw Illyrian's Gold Lion and ordered immediately.
It totally reminded me of a franken polish I made in 2012 that I didn't get to wear because the formula went gummy.

Though I purchased this when it was released, I haven't worn it until now.

I enjoyed the smooth creamy formula and how opaque the charcoal grey was while still allowing the copper shimmer to shine through. I could have gotten away with one coat, but I used two just to ensure even coverage.

Scofflaw: David Bowie's Bulge

Yes, friends I have David Bowie's Bulge. On my nails. -cheesy grin-

I picked this up at the most recent Polish Con in Chicago. I couldn't pass it up and now I'm sharing the results!

From seeing pictures online of this polish, I didn't quite understand its popularity. But when I saw it in person, I had to have it!

The super bright red-orange crelly peppered with royal blue glitter is certainly eye catching and super fun to wear!
