Tarts n Talons

All nails are by me unless otherwise posted. My personal blog was getting flooded by my nail art so I gave my talons their own blog.

I’ve been so busy I haven’t painted my nails in ages much less photograph them. Also I’m trying out a new nail shape.

This über-feminine glitter polish is I Deglaze With Wine by Vivid LacquerI Deglaze With Wine is a glitter topper filled with a wide range of purple, red, and garnet hex glitter. I layered one coat over OPI Vant to Bite my Neck? I bet it would look great over a number of different colors!

You can buy I Deglaze With Wine from the Vivid Lacquer Etsy Shop.

This colorful polish is Metamorphosis from Vivid Lacquer. Metamorphosis is a glitter bomb in a clear base. The variety of glitter includes holographic silver butterflies, large pink holographic hexes, and blue and brown hexes in various sizes. Don’t you just love the butterflies?? This is just one coat over China Glaze Sunday Funday.

You can buy Metamorphosis from the Vivid Lacquer Etsy shop.

This subtle polish is called Snowjob from Vivid Lacquer. Okay, first up… SNOWJOB. hahaha! That name! Anyhow, Snowjob is a sky blue base filled with iridescent hexes and shreds, plus chunky and fine white glitter. This polish is part of the Winter 2012 collection, and is limited edition. I layered a couple coats of Snowjob over Sally Girl Coconut. It’s so pretty! It really does remind me of twinkling snow.

You can pick up bottle of Snowjob at Vivid Lacquer’s Etsy Shop.

Another awesome polish from Vivid Lacquer! This glitter bomb is Step Away From the Tinsel. It’s a glitter topper filled with mini iridescent and holographic bar glitter, plus small iridescent hexes. This polish is part of the Winter 2012 collection.

I layered two coats over black and sealed it all with some SV. You can buy Step Away From the Tinsel at the Vivid Lacquer Etsy Shop.

Lots more Vivid Lacquer polishes to come! Anni expanded one of her most popular polishes, Theoretical Rockstar (you can see my swatch here.) She’s come up with four more polishes based on the same idea. Theoretical Girlfriend, Vegan, Gamer, and Blogger. They’re jelly polishes packed with coordinating colored glitter and a small dose of holographic powder. BAM! Click on each picture to see what I layered them over.

You can buy these polishes and more at Vivid Lacquer’s Etsy Shop.

If it isn’t painfully obvious, I have a serious obsession with glitter nail polish. I love them all, I can’t get enough! If this sounds like you, then boy do I have a polish you’ll love. This OMG glitter insanity is Woo! Tangent from Vivid Lacquer as part of her Thankful For My Console Collection. Anni describes Woo! Tangent as “a glitter bomb that is designed to be completely random. Every glitter I possess is mixed into a large batch and poured into every bottle to give a dense glitter finish that is entirely unpredictable.” It sounds perfect to me!

I swatched Woo! Tangent with 1 and 2 coats. And then I layered one coat over Essie Lilacism. You can really see the variety of all the different glitters. LOVE! You can buy Woo! Tangent at the Vivid Lacquer Etsy shop.
