I've been wanting to try this waterfall mani for a while - using my beloved multi-chromes over black. These just pop in a magical way when worn with a black "undies" layer, and I never wear them without something underneath to bring out their potential.<br />
<br />
I'm pleased with the result, though next time I'll definitely use a skinnier brush for finer strokes. </div>

I used my go-to black, Fingerpaints "Black Expressionism", as well as ILNP "Nostalgia", "Mutagen", and "Cygnus Loop", as well as Nubar "Indigo Illusion". Even in the bottles, these chromes are dazzling! I'm definitely an ultra-chrome addict, I need them all. </div>

Hello polish lovers! I know I've been absent ALL YEAR so far, but this beauty just couldn't wait. I stumbled across this fun polish on a "mommy needs her sanity" trip recently, The vivid blues really caught my eye, especially with the way they were paired with the inky black hexes and dots. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> I googled some swatches right there in the store, and realized it's more of a glitter topper, and doesn't come through as shown in the bottle on it's own, but picked it up anyway on a hunch that some black undies would bring it about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />I did not regret it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybelline's Color Show "Street Art" Top Coat in "Nighttime Noise" is a real stunner. Shown in all photos over my go - to black, Fingerpaints "Black Expressionism", this is only one coat of the Color Show polish. I'm enchanted with it, and it seemed to pair really well with one of my other favorite recent acquisitions...my second fork ring, which I picked up last month at the Portland Saturday Market. Wanna see???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg82OZ65Y-f6ho8ndrCy5d6NiYPLpbsw06mlvpMB2-OwFpDXRS2s0H9GmC2U4DZSKMpRdyLlm8c3w7eGfDgiQliM_S_XhbTEnXXh_nGKnJYDhT-qbeVtKAEeSjio7GuI8D0PlVUX3m_isU/s1600/Ring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg82OZ65Y-f6ho8ndrCy5d6NiYPLpbsw06mlvpMB2-OwFpDXRS2s0H9GmC2U4DZSKMpRdyLlm8c3w7eGfDgiQliM_S_XhbTEnXXh_nGKnJYDhT-qbeVtKAEeSjio7GuI8D0PlVUX3m_isU/s1600/Ring.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a><br />As you can see, "Nighttime Noise" has vivid blue hexes, mini hexes, dots and bar glitters, which are paired with inky black hexes and dots. This could easily be layered over another polish for a new look or to bring out the blue more, if you have a blue polish that matches the hue here, but for the effect in the bottle, try it over any basic black cream polish.<br />Definitely a pairing I'll be wearing out and about, probably on my next visit to Portland, where it's fun to bring out the funk my day to day mommy life makes challenging. <br /><br />I'm so glad I picked this one up! If you're loving the effect but dreaming of another hue, the good news is this line has a few more options! Here's a shot from their website, showing samples (color accurate ones, too!) of Pink Splatter, Wild At Heart, Green Graffiti, Blue Beats, and the one I've shared here, Nighttime Noise.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihsUoLZ0G4Frg9-7HoJyJG0_860LqNR833OhZE48AFt-jicOwHMmvEdbtudNa7Mnpmw7wG_-QnVaDPxYfQLvXTy-vwVTE_CH-52vDxCjBXEQ1DnYV-_xlhFfCSVHA2s7AkW1ojlCwm1CI/s1600/sdafds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihsUoLZ0G4Frg9-7HoJyJG0_860LqNR833OhZE48AFt-jicOwHMmvEdbtudNa7Mnpmw7wG_-QnVaDPxYfQLvXTy-vwVTE_CH-52vDxCjBXEQ1DnYV-_xlhFfCSVHA2s7AkW1ojlCwm1CI/s1600/sdafds.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>

By request, I'd love to share some swatches of "Starry Eyed", the glitter guilty custom polish that my princess received. In my previous post, I described it as:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Holographic baby pink circle glitters mingle with silver, hot pink, and aqua stars and a smattering of smaller hex and circle glitters in the same shades." On the nail, some shimmery microglitters also reveal themselves, as well as some "mint" colored stars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My favorite combo was layered over Zoya "Izzy", a shimmery fuchsia delight.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The glitters were easily tamed with one thick coat of Seche Vite. This is ONE coat, no placing needed and just a good shaking before application.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other contenders for the mani were Zoya "Zuza", "Wednesday", "Mira", "Kendal", and Sally Hansen "White On" I skittled my right hand for you...sorry for awkward angles!</div>

I really loved "Starry Eyed" over all of these, and the circles came out for my right hand, but not my left. Currently, "Starry Eyed" is not listed in Glitter Guilty's store, but if we harass her enough on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GlitterGuilty" target="_blank">her facebook page</a>, maybe she'll add it, or do a limited run. Another fabulous polish by Jessica at Glitter Guilty, and really a perfect match for my Princess' personality as well. I don't know HOW she does it, but I'm sure glad she does.</div>

<br />
Behold the beauty.<br />
<br />
I love my Glitter Guilty subscription! If you're a follower of mine, you've probably noticed that posting my monthly box is what's keeping the blog any form of current. I've been pretty depressed this year, and my blog has suffered, but this subscription never fails to lift my spirit!<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar, here's the breakdown:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.glitterguilty.com/" target="_blank">Glitter Guilty Subscription box</a><br />
15.99 monthly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 full size "custom" polish<br />
1 mini "monthly" polish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tasty treat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-The "custom" polish is built based off the preferences listed, as well as the dislikes listed when you subscribe. You CAN change these preferences each month. There are about a dozen variations of polishes per month, and some I've received have been specifically built from my preferences. You can also request any full size polish from the shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-The "monthly" mini is the same for all subscribers, but never fails to "wow" me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-The treat is always tasty, often chocolate in the winter months, and sometimes there's even a little bonus item...a pedicure fizzie and magnets have both appeared in boxes this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Some subscribers each month also get a "golden ticket" - an extra polish, item, or gift certificate in their box. But I always forget to look (though I did get a bonus polish once!) because I'm always oohing and ahhhing over my box.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

-Additionally, you can score a full size of your choice if you are selected after sharing photos of your polish of the month, and you have the opportunity to score a referral bonus if you refer 2 people who subscribe for a minimum of two months. I've received one, and it included a full size, amazing indie cuticle balm I still love. You can earn multiple referral bonuses (so if you sign up, mention Frankie Caswell so I can score more!)</div>
<br />
Is every month a perfect match? Of course not - but it IS always a surprise to look forward to, and in the polish community and family, if it's not my cup of tea, I can gift it to someone else. I've yet to have a polish that's a big miss on formula, bleeds, or has any other issues some indies struggle with.<br />

On to the boxes...<br />

Catching up three boxes here, two of my own and the one I ordered for my daughter's birthday, at her request. Behold the beauty, which if you're a subscriber, you can replicate! <br />

This combo was created with a single coat of Sally Hansen Ruby Rush (to build up over), a coat of last month's amazing mini "Sugar and Spice" by Glitter Guilty, and her mini from December "Pinecones and Holly Berries".<br />

Instead of the standard monthly mini, Jessica included the more age-appropriate "Party Hearty" which is super awesome retro neon glitter wonder. The princess still received the matte topcoat bonus featured in November, Chuao chocolate, and bonus Barbie nail decals. But the crowning jewel was the custom full size, "Starry Eyed".</div>

Hello again, my blogosphere!<br />
<br />
I'm excited to bring you another Glitter Guilty winner, this month's box featured some real beauties. <br />
We had some fun Halloween treats; a chocolate dipped and sprinkled graham cracker and oreo from an etsy specializing in dipped treats. Sorry no photos of those, though, I uh..."lost" them. Or perhaps gained them, if you catch my drift?<br />
<br />
The polishes were so beautiful, though. My monthly "me" polish was so alluring, I literally gasped when I saw it (after I tore open the box on the way up my driveway. Don't drive distracted, folks, a tree nearly lost it's life for this beauty.)</div>

(Clockwise L to R: Zoya "Kristen" with China Glaze "Poetic", Zoya "Kristen" with Julep "Sienna", Glitter Guilty "Lilac Luxe", and Zoya "Kristen" again with China Glaze "Poetic")</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Lilac Luxe" is a super pale cool lilac crelly packed with medium copper hexes, smaller gold hexes, tiny gold round glitters, copper bar glitter, and iridescent microglitter that's mostly only visible in direct lighting. It was inspired by this photo which I found via pinterest and shared with Glitter Guilty:</div>

I chose to try and replicate the inspiration photos in my manicure with the Glitter Guilty polish as anaccent to top it all off. The closest thing I have to this pale lilac is Zoya "Kristen", which is really more blue (sounds like a good reason for a shopping trip to me!) </div>

I used the same<a href="http://constantlyredone.blogspot.com/2013/04/spring-fever-alcohol-marble.html" target="_blank"> alcohol marbling technique</a> as I've attempted previously with the gold and rose gold (again, I need to buy a few new colors!) My main beef with this technique is each polish seems to react in a new way to the alcohol, so it is hard to get a cohesive look in the manicure.</div>

(You can see my on my pinky how the rose gold polish was trying to spot waaay differently than the yellow gold. I had to manipulate it a lot for the other fingers featuring this polish.)<br />

The Monthly mini this month was ALSO pretty awesome. It's called "Something Wicked", and not only is it stunning for the holiday (Happy Halloween, folks!) but it is also the perfect summation of the beloved musical for which it was clearly named. I had the opportunity to see "Wicked" during it's tour, and it was just absolutely stunning. Deviant from the book, yes, but for once not in a way that left me upset. But, I ramble...on to the polish!</div>

(Glitter Guilty "Something Wicked")<br />
<br />
You can expect to see this one swatched REAL soon! I'm still ogling it. In fact, if you've STILL not signed up for your own Glitter Guilty monthly subscription box, you can request a full size AS your monthly "me" from here on out! You can do this with any of her in-store polishes, since she's changed the program a bit. There will be about a dozen polish variations in the boxes, in addition to the "in store" items listed on her site. She'll do her best to fit your likes and dislikes from those dozen creations, or put in your requested pre-made polish. <br />
<br />
I'm dying to see what next month brings to my mailbox! I hope you sign up so you can get happy mail too!</div>

I picked up "No Matte-r What" on a random trip to Walgreens recently, and it won out over a couple other interesting looking L'oreal colors. I didn't even look at the name, just was pulled in by the color - which in the bottle is a glossy, rich reddened beery cream. However, three coats on the nail is a matte bright oxblood mess. Super streaky application and a nightmare to clean up. I could fall for the color if the formula weren't such a mess.</div>

Zoya "Tao" offers the perfect stormy cloud base of pewter grey (with a nice soft metallic sheen to back it up), and Sinful Colors "Crystal Clear" glitter, densely packed with holographic diamonds and tiny dots, as well as tiny blue luminescent bar glitters. It's like a backlit rainstorm on my nails! Love.</div>

Zoya "Tao" (MSRP 8.00) is from the 2012 fall "Smoke and Mirrors" collection has a lovely formula and is a great fall essential, understated but gorgeous with just the right amount of sheen.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sinful Colors "Crystal Clear" (MSRP 1.99) from their limited spring "Diamond Lust" collection has been sitting in my intrudes since I picked it up on a whim this spring. I'm so glad I have it, though, it's surprisingly well formulated with minimal "fishing" required for diamonds, and less placement issues than most shaped glitters of this size. It is a little on the goopy side, but not enough to make me hesitate to use it again. If you find a bottle of this one, pick it up!</div>

I've been a bit mad lately with the end of school and adjusting to one more mini-human running around the house all the time.<br /><br />Reader Laurie asked for a gradient tutorial on my <a href="http://constantlyredone.blogspot.com/2013/05/channeling-lisa-frank.html" target="_blank">"Channeling Lisa Frank"</a> manicure, so here I am presenting you with my method for gradient nails. It's a pretty easy, slightly time consuming method. Here's the finished look to the method we'll be focusing on today:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9j2-F5VISuZ9Zb8X0-X0JvlpDMA080zV8n2vjs16OuPTxnSbQ5A5HiEauQhazgkvm_D1r36OX1DI4fzOKiLhlucg211jf3El7symkEdHPMfXer9iiMxEnjMinqUclxRrqEefERHWU3hQ/s400/intro.jpg" width="400" /> <br /><br />The first step is to gather all your materials. You'll need the polishes you're working with, a surface to mix them on (I use some leftover backsplash tiles from an old project - these are awesome if you're into other messy art things, you can wipe them off with acetone later), something to mix them with (toothpicks are the go to for a lot of folks, but I use a small piece of spaghetti - same as I do for water marbling) and something to sponge things onto your nail with. I tear into quarters one of those wedge makeup sponges. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbpxg8LHVDYGO8bmfG8YGu7Jou9p6Jq1cATIvBraJZ_5IBnUsXh0wXlH6EbcpbqOzsyi4tqUBEXK9MKKG8idQ1ZMda1-zFVRg1FU0P5_ZXw3Wys9BhA2nnimSX7FDuPV6lnindS4IHGJs/s1600/Prep+Shot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbpxg8LHVDYGO8bmfG8YGu7Jou9p6Jq1cATIvBraJZ_5IBnUsXh0wXlH6EbcpbqOzsyi4tqUBEXK9MKKG8idQ1ZMda1-zFVRg1FU0P5_ZXw3Wys9BhA2nnimSX7FDuPV6lnindS4IHGJs/s400/Prep+Shot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />The colors used, as with last time, are Sinful Colors "Dream On" and Love and Beauty "Aqua" (found at Forever 21 stores and online). Both are pretty cheap polishes with good coverage. Put a few generous drops near to each other on your mixing surface:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6M19Da5Z1_D_XDoJjHfa_4AHMGyXeA-Yz6WInW5Xv9y0naqgulHjPu98cWpUU05B_gaFhCxhwVNP-gFykq_6zsCLlELpHnlBUWFUevUI95J-BEUp-ArjrC01sS-jzkYS5R3gj7yGaBZ8/s1600/Drops.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6M19Da5Z1_D_XDoJjHfa_4AHMGyXeA-Yz6WInW5Xv9y0naqgulHjPu98cWpUU05B_gaFhCxhwVNP-gFykq_6zsCLlELpHnlBUWFUevUI95J-BEUp-ArjrC01sS-jzkYS5R3gj7yGaBZ8/s400/Drops.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Then, take your mixing device (spaghetti, anyone?) and blend the colors a bit until a third is created. It doesn't look like a perfect gradient on the tile, just three colors. Pick it up on your sponge (as pictured) and sponge once on your nail. Let it dry for a few seconds (till it's pretty tacky), and put a second or third coat until your desired opacity is reached.<br /><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHkEF_UP5hf3CKEf6oWoZZ6r_OBz281v5Lgo2_EXo3m-rQL_9Kbex-yGIxVyFLHaWMsralMauquK6xyChKkfx__r9KfjAW1s1j4xQCWYvoFI3qyOXwU09gXYSQb7rIe_DIac_6bejFRg/s400/blend.jpg" width="400" /><br /><br />Here's a photo of mine after two layers of sponging:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYqffoNEhOJunL3v532Ef37nJ4VTjSnPpNKPFFMt4EQpSacD98H8BXaI4C2bceQQ0cFGf_iLGdOz_1ERuEkLNc_wDmUz2k_MliuezZoj4IbPXpcbwHisNzzJS66EtOAnkfNevL_ja4e0/s1600/sponge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYqffoNEhOJunL3v532Ef37nJ4VTjSnPpNKPFFMt4EQpSacD98H8BXaI4C2bceQQ0cFGf_iLGdOz_1ERuEkLNc_wDmUz2k_MliuezZoj4IbPXpcbwHisNzzJS66EtOAnkfNevL_ja4e0/s400/sponge.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Next, you'll want to clean up the polish that got on your skin and cuticles, of course. I use a stiff cheap eyeliner brush and pure acetone from Sally Beauty. You'll want to moisturize after using the acetone, but wait until you finish the whole manicure.<br /><br />The final step for this look is a couple happy coats of Glitter Guilty's "In a Roundabout Way". Isn't it gorgeous??? Look at those multi-colored circles lurking at the bottom. They're surprisingly easy to fish out.<br /><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfqVUlwHT-uhODpTkCyTE9D80VcEN9Mpf1dXhsUirn6YGC41WW4b_hPLs_pGepBYP9JB9UpNKddiuYSB-5f3NqegRmiLJ6VleG68of6xRyGs6st-MzTHys4nT8OncixE7noY1fVlcV1Q/s400/GG.jpg" width="400" /></div>

No spoiler bar this time, folks, because I did a mani featuring both my monthly mini as well as my full size custom. I totally loved this month's box. When I opened it and saw the mini gleaming gloriously from the box, I literally squee'd out loud. Here's the lovely view I was treated to when I opened my box: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV90Q6DXJcu-_HIUdIS_eySbIC-8cHTABEHaWqltEM-xHDU5wchf3AmifvVeq1kbhhFiIVVnXLtQSKe4l2L_qF2fMQtkSMdee59co68G9kBiS4m4Hd-IcXTLEEUaP9Lsrx4wTarn2rIe8/s1600/boxreveal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV90Q6DXJcu-_HIUdIS_eySbIC-8cHTABEHaWqltEM-xHDU5wchf3AmifvVeq1kbhhFiIVVnXLtQSKe4l2L_qF2fMQtkSMdee59co68G9kBiS4m4Hd-IcXTLEEUaP9Lsrx4wTarn2rIe8/s400/boxreveal.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />June's Monthly Mini is "Lime Rickey", a sublime neon purple jelly with a happy sprinkling of small fuschia round glitters, smaller still hex glitters in chartruese, gold, and transparent white. It's finished off with teeny tiny iridescent blue and gold glitters throughout. The base of this color is about the same as Sinful Colors "Dream On", for color reference. This one is nearly as intoxicating as a few of it's namesake drinks.<br /><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7JKK9JID2Bu_YfeFSr8IPkm2AAi4gqkYkaIrofAkEwTjERvrBSWtj0cPTD7UdVmFoUgW_RBcxclziCft9dfKvw1zXPbmipoGwWkzRqIz_fml5w8awiDS7-4EOPb75D8G2tAgM6PX5Q1U/s400/LRBottleShot.jpg" width="400" /><br /><br />My full size custom this month was pretty awesome as well. Because, let's face it - I'm obsessed with circle glitters right now. The jelly dove grey base is loaded with teeny iridescent blue glitters that meld with the base in a gorgeous way. The larger glitters are all circles (YAY!) in small teal, medium fuschia, and large slightly blue-er teal. It built nicely after three layers.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXo6YzSfjzWYd_Hwu-45eMEN3ClH1aHvLvqJfdKgxpXKQ9u6f26mAvYxL9sOi6hV3BH81RiOctkl-004HZFKCk9cwO5oD67ORhUnsnbW4gu4a_53FSJTXy_wHfgKTX19-t5p_fSLEcjs/s1600/UIBottleShot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXo6YzSfjzWYd_Hwu-45eMEN3ClH1aHvLvqJfdKgxpXKQ9u6f26mAvYxL9sOi6hV3BH81RiOctkl-004HZFKCk9cwO5oD67ORhUnsnbW4gu4a_53FSJTXy_wHfgKTX19-t5p_fSLEcjs/s400/UIBottleShot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Here's three layers of each painted out. There's something about that third layer that just brings out the bottle color. The first two coats are pretty sheer, and suddenly the full glory comes out. If I were trying to conserve the polish, I'd layer "Urban Island" over Zoya "Dove" and "Lime Rickey" over Sinful Colors "Dream On", as these colors represent the base colors pretty well.

<br /><br />A quick recap of the glitter guilty subscription program:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Officially named the "Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box" (oooh, naughty...), the program costs 15.99 per month and is easy to cancel at any time. Included in the price is;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-1 Full Size custom polish influenced by your preferences<br />-1 Monthly Mini polish which is the same for all members</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-1 bonus treat - in the cooler months it's chocolate (always a win)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(NOTE: this was the first month we received a non-chocolate treat. I loved the caramel, and the mini soak was an EXTRA bonus item that is totally fitting with any polish-aholic's heart)<br /><br /><br />When you subscribe, you fill in your likes, as well as dislikes. You can change it whenever you'd like, and I do after each month. Here's what I listed for this month's box:<br /><br />Colors you love: I'm currently OBSESSED with the big round holo glitters. Also feeling Aquas, greys, and peach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colors you hate: Yellow, Orange, Pinks, heart glitter<br /><br />Some random boxes receive a "golden ticket" of some sort. I am always so blown away by the contents of my box I forget to be sad I haven't gotten one (yet!). You may list who referred you - so if you're gonna sign up, please be sure to put my name in there! It's "Frankie Caswell". And you can <a href="http://www.glitterguilty.com/my-subscription/" target="_blank">sign up here</a>. If you refer two people, you should receive a "thank you" gift their second month of subscription, as long as you are still subscribing as well. I love love love my box, and I hope you jump on board so you can love yours too! <br />And if you're a current subscriber, feel free to drop a link to YOUR reveal box, because I'd love to see your polishes!</div>

Woo hoo! I've never been featured somewhere like this before, so I had to share! Isn't it FUN to get your five minutes of fame? Better this way than on an episode of COPS. MSN did a little article on Summer nail manicures, pulled mostly from Pinterest as far as I can tell. They included this super old one of mine from last year - the<a href="http://living.msn.com/style-beauty/makeup-skin-care-hair-tips/summer-nail-art#22" target="_blank"> article is here</a>, and if you have nails pinned to Pinterest you should check it out because there are 33 other manicures featured; one might be yours.</div>

Have I got a lovely for you, ladies! Featured below is my very first RBL polish, "Plie", which I recieved in a polish swap. Every once in a while, I get in the mood for a good nude, and this fits the bill for this Irish-skinned lass. <br /><br />"Plie" is a grown up tutu pink with griege undertones. While I can't rave about the formula, I can't complain about it either. This was two coats, photographed under cloudy Oregon skies:<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBCgvdOj-7dmSf6CEL3qrZhK01oFnqB58G9vZpdlc8jRRJEzDWKb7aekzSN9E3RhZ84g5GQ5N2YWJyV2JcIgO7ENc9wG-B15n_8GIaOZujMu7ddnogIl3Cnbh86yi8fVgPv9xvvSMg6fg/s400/RBLBS.jpg" width="400" /><br /><br />The real magic happened when I topped it with two coats of Essie's "Kisses and Bises", an unassuming sheer topper with a bit of pink copper magic. I'm always impressed with what this little beauty does to a manicure.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC2VoHxAvrILp5CQpxxnUGU97ZcgVKxaB9a0OoYimym3gUqAWVB4fCo06uk1JurjKAZtbT48K4MbrqIyVdEqsIjbGZ43svFoKvwqaAP90Zx7ONg6VJ6OXd2678YLPdnYO-K4Uubo-mkEo/s1600/kisses_and_bises.png.jpeg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the two together - hard to photograph the true magical allure, because I kept staring at my nails when I was wearing this combo, and went so far as to recreate it when it chipped. It's a bit reminiscent of China Glaze's "Fast Track" from the hunger games collection, but that one is a definite latte-brown base, and I love the way "Plie" lends a delicate effect for my pale skin. I'll be keeping this manicure as a go-to for my more understated days.</div>

Oh hello, there! Did my AMAZING manicure catch your attention? Deservedly so. Not because of my glorious nubbins, but because of the rare polish beauty displayed here. Her name is "In a Roundabout Way", and this circle glitter packed beauty was created by emerging polish mastermind <a href="http://www.glitterguilty.com/" target="_blank">Glitter Guilty</a>. I've reviewed two of her ingenius polish subscription boxes so far, and I'm dying to see what's next. <br />
<br />
My bestie, over at Mommy Does her Nails, received this one in her box this month. As soon as I saw it, I knew I HAD to have it. So I begged and harassed Glitter Guilty to make a few more bottles - which she kindly did. I snagged one of the last ones, saving my friendship; because, let's face it, this polish would have been MINE even if I had to go "find" it at miss Mommy's house. <a href="http://mommydoeshernails.blogspot.com/2013/05/may-glitter-guilty-pleasures-box-review.html" target="_blank">Her brilliant mani</a>, a gradient layering with it, was perfect. So I put my own spin on it with a couple different colors for my base gradient.<br />
<br />
The colors I used were Sinful Colors "Dream On", a neon fuchsia purple that dries matte on it's own, and Love and Beauty (forever21) "Aqua". The ONE coat of "In a Roundabout Way", which is a buildable denim base with large round glitters in holographic silver, blush, green and aqua and small round glitters in green and fuchsia. As my dear momma put it when I posted the bottle on instagram..."It's so you!" </div>

Now that my friendship is safe, and my inner Lisa Frank has been released, here's a few close up shots. The large glitters are awesome and super holographic. All of these shots were taken outdoors with a typical Oregon overcast sky. Gotta love that Pacific NW glory.</div>

The formula is amazing - these round glitters have a tendency to hug the inside of the bottle, but Glitter Guilty had the forsight to pack the bottle with them - they required less fishing than my bottle of Emily de Molly's "Cosmic Forces", which is a bit of a cousin to this polish. <br />
<br />
The sad news - this was (for the time being at least...) a limited release polish. But with the way her creations have been going, you'll want to keep an eye on Glitter Guilty. Or join the madness (genius?) and subscribe to her monthly sub box. Tell her Frankie Caswell sent you. You can yell at me later for starting your new addiction - but you won't really mean it, because there's nothing not to love here.</div>

A Glitter Guilty subscription is 15.99 a month, which covers shipping. The box includes a monthly mini indie, a custom full size polish, and some chocolate (while it's cool enough to keep) or other treat. The curator also sends out a "golden ticket" each month in a few boxes for an extra treat! <br />
<br />
I was so excited and nervous for my 2nd box, let me tell you. And it was a major score! First, I'll reveal my "Monthly Me" polish, and I'll put a spoiler alert before the "Monthly Mini" to allow any other GG readers to save the surprise if they so choose.<br />

"Demon of the Deep" is a gorgeous, true cerulean blue with gold and teal microshimmer distributed generously throughout. It was labeled on the outside of it's wrapped package, so I wasn't sure what to expect from the name. I do adore it, it's a well pigmented jelly - all pictures are of two coats, as my first coat was kind of streaky (user issues, not so much polish issues). It was hard to capture the shimmer and true color on camera, it is MUCH stronger and more gorgeous in person.</div>

Here's how I had my information filled out this month:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Colors you love? Plum, Indigo, Vivid Turquoise...most jewel tones with grey, nude, or milky base<br />
Colors you hate? Yellow, Orange, Pinks, heart glitter</div>
<br />
I'd say this definitely qualifies as a jewel tone, and this polish is a much closer fit to "me" than the last one. Since I don't often wear bright blues, I don't even have a close dupe - just a couple cremes that would make for good "undies".<br />
<br />

<br />
As revealed a couple days ago on their FB page, this month's mini was named "Party Hearty" (in honor of the curator's birthday!!!). But, don't go searching for a crowd full of heart glitters here, because instead we've got a flashback of neon shaped glitters that will make any '80's fan swoon. I paired it with my favorite grey, Cockatoo's Mystery by Loreal.<br />

I actually painted this one first, in case the blue had staining (there was none) - but I couldn't bear to take it off, so I've got different mani's on each hand right now. I hope she adds this one to her store, because it's awesome. It's got assorted neon hexes and squares in hot pink, vivid blue, transluscent lime green, and a sprinkling of small glitters throughout. The formula is awesome, no "fishing" for glitters here. I hope YOU get in on the fun of the monthly box, because it's so much fun, and with awesomeness like this, I expect great things to follow. If you do sign up, put my name in the referral link - Frankie Caswell. Thanks!!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S. I keep forgetting things I forgot because I loved the polishes so much! The chocolate this time was a chuao Chocolatier Potato Chip Chocopod. The unseasonably hot Oregon weather got to it, so it's hiding in my fridge to become edible again.<br />
And I was not even the least bit bummed not to get the "golden ticket" or extra prize this month. These polishes rock.<br />

Don't let the heart fool you - this indie machine can't really love you.<br />
<br />
Hi readers! This is my entry for<a href="http://www.kaylashevonne.com/2013/04/indie-polish-nail-art-contest.html" target="_blank"> Kayla Shevonne's nail art contest</a>. The real challenge here was working with glitter dense polishes while doing some awesome nail art. I've been wanting to do robots for a while, and the indies I have really lent themselves toward them. "The Tinman" on my thumb features <a href="http://constantlyredone.blogspot.com/search/label/Huemorista" target="_blank">Huemorista's</a> "Unzipped", a unique cement grey that has a gold shift, and some hidden microflecks of shifting color. I love how is little heart shifts from pink to white to green.<br />
<br />
My pointer finger "Daisy" with her oh so ladylike lashes, was filled in using my recently acquired "April Showers" from <a href="http://constantlyredone.blogspot.com/2013/04/indie-polish-monthly-subscription.html" target="_blank">April's Glitter Guilty box.</a> "April Showers" is a sheer grey base with with holographic bits scattered throughout, and holographic hexes mixed with a few pink-to-coral shifting flowers.<br />
<br />
"Hal", the gold bot is another <a href="http://constantlyredone.blogspot.com/search/label/Huemorista" target="_blank">Huemorista</a>, "Promise Ring" a foiled gold with microshimmer throughout. I love my Huemoristas, but as the linked post points out, you've got to watch out for doctored swatches.<br />
<br />
"Beepbop", the zany machine on my ring finger has one of the coolest <a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/" target="_blank">Rainbow Honey</a> glitters to layer over white. It's "The Worst Possible Thing", described by the creator as "<i>A sheer layering polish, jewel encrusted just as Rarity would
endorse, shimmering with opalescent flakes in purple and blue and a
multitude of holographic and iridescent glitters." </i>There are these really tiny chartreuse glitters that pop over white, that I never noticed before. <br /><br />Finally, on the pinky is little "Error", the silver-purple worry bot. He was created using <a href="http://www.a-england.co.uk/the-legend/41-princess-tears.html" target="_blank">A England's</a> "Princess Tears", a super unique Lilac and silver polish has the most dreamy application, and a gorgeous color shift in varied lighting.</div>

I really loved this, and though things didn't come out "perfect", I will definately be doing this again because it's just so fun. What's not to love? Thank you, Kayla, for hosting this contest. It challenged me to move beyond my safe zones and create something I love.</div>

This manicure was originally done for <a href="http://www.kaylashevonne.com/2013/04/indie-polish-nail-art-contest.html" target="_blank">Kayla Shevonne's indie nail art contest</a>,
but I've done something I love even more. Hopefully I've made the
right choice in which to submit. I still do love this one, though! </div>

The Orange is Rainbow Honey's "Hoof Wrassle" with a coat of Zoya "Kate" to pull it a little more coral than pumpkin. The tips are Zoya "Izzy" with Dollish Polish "Random Dancing" over it, and each finger is accented with a different color, just for fun! Thumb to pinky the colors are Zoya "Zuza", Sinful Colors "Happy Ending", OPI "Manicurist of Seville", Zoya "Sharon", and Zoya "Hope". </div>

I think the concept of this contest is both excellent and challenging. Since most indie polishes are pretty glitter-dense, doing nail art with them is difficult. I'm happy with how the execution of this one came out, but I'm absolutely in LOVE with the most recent one - I can't wait to share it with you after submission! I hope to see some of you participate too, drop me a link if you do!<br />
