End of Summer Mani.. and Dolphin Glitter!

Good afternoon! Since it's labor day, that pretty much means the end of summer to me. We are having gorgeous fall like weather here, and I LOVE it! Fall is my absolute fav. time of year. I love pretty much everything about it. The odd thing? This year, I'm sorta sad to see the summer go. I'm not sure why, but it just seems like it really flew by this year. I decided to do an end of summer mani. It's okay, but I had such better visions of it in my mind. Do you ever do that? Have a great mani. planned in your head, but then you actually do it, and don't really like it? Hate that! That's kind of what happened with my mani. today.

I wanted to do a beach theme, but the sand color I used, turned out to look more like really went sand, and the stickers I used, don't want to stick so well. The glitter I used covered some of my dolphin glitters, and I guess I really just want to take it off. LOL! I'm going to try to be patient, and leave it on though. Until tomorrow. If I can stand it. ;-)

I used Lise Watier Blue-Tiful,Lise Watier Ile Deserte,PA AA01, and Joby nail stickers. Blue-Tiful is a pretty blue glass fleck shimmer and application was great. I did use three coats to get it opaque. Ile Deserte is a carmel color with gold and copper glitter. Application was great, and I used two coats. PA AA01 one is a really cool glitter. It has dolphin and star glitter pieces, mixed in with small blue glitter and med. sized silver glitter.

Let me know what you think of it. I kinda like it, but like I said it's not what I wanted it to look like. Kinda looks like a hot mess on my nails! LOL!

Here are the two Lise Watier polishes before the stickers and glitter.





Thanks for looking, and I hope you are having a great Labor Day! :-)

Lise Watier Fun in the Sun and Lori Anne Silver Glitter.

I have on another polish from Canada today. It's a brand I had never heard of. I'm not sure if it's a Canada brand only or not. I think it might be. I also think they only release around five or so new colors a year. I might not be right on the number, but from what I've read, it's very few. They are great colors though. My husband brought three home for me. The first one I wore is called Fun in the Sun. It's a great summer color. A bright jelly red. It's almost a neon color, but not quite. I only had to use two coats for it to be opaque, which is unusual for a jelly. Application was pretty good. A bit runny, but nothing too bad.

I decided to top it off with Lori Anne Silver Glitter. I LOVE this glitter. It's more of silver chips to me, than the normal round glitter. I know there are tons of silver glitters out there, but this one is pretty unique to me.

First up, here are pics. of both together.

Click to see the glitter MUCH better. ;-)





Fun in the Sun on it's own.





Close up pics. of the two together. You can see that the glitter is just a bit different than the normal silver glitter.





Have you ever heard of either of these brands?
