GLITTER GIFTS

The other day I rec'd a few nail polishes from fellow bloggers over at CONCRETE AND NAIL POLISH. The blog is run by two sisters, April and Ashley, who are located here in Oklahoma, like me. They are just a few hours north of me in Tulsa. They sent me a couple of nail polishes, and they must know a thing or two about what I like because they were both glitters!! WOO HOO, way to go girls!


I did a couple of swatches of these to share with you all.


NEW YORK SUMMER
This looks totally hot both ways, I think. I was surprised how much I liked this just over my nude nails, but it looked really cool!







TIC TAC
This is an awesome dense, blue glitter. Super shiny! I think this looks better on its own than over the black base that I tried. Such a pretty shade of blue, I love it.

    Glitter can do not wrong. I love the hexagonal pieces in the first and the second makes me think of a lake of glitter. I would love to swim in it!

    Oh, those are super cool! I wonder if you can purchase the New York Summer polishes online anywhere, I've been seeing swatches of them and love what I've seen! This glitter is too cool! As to the Tic Tac, I can't decide which way I like it better - I like both!

    How nice of April and Ashley. Love these glitters. I also love the first glitter. It does look nice on bare nails. Looks really pretty on your nails. I like the second over the black and just over bare nails. Really a nice heavy glitter. Gorgeous.

    The New York Summer can be ordered from Transdesign. http://www.transdesign.com/polish/NewYork.htm
    It is called Angel Dream. I have never placed an order with them but i know Brooke has.
    I can't find any information on the Tic Tac brand. We will be doing some swatches of other colors from this brand on our blog very soon. They have lots of pastel cremes.
