New Dragon Lady Lacquer

*****UPDATE*****
I decided that Dragon Lady Lacquer was just too much of a mouthful and have shortened it to Dragon Lacquer.

      *************************************************************
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you may have already heard the news...

There are 7 different polishes in this collection:

1. Resolutionary - multi-size silver holographic glitter in a clear base for layering. Pics are shown with one coat and no top coat over red, green, white, and black. Since this polish is so glitter dense it is fully buildable. Full of sparkle like the coming New Year!

2. Go Scrooge Yourself! - multiple size/shape black glitter (bars, squares, hex) with metallic green and red hex in different sizes and red/green micro glitter in a clear base for layering.  Pics are shown with two coats and no top coat over red, green, white, and black.

3. Angel Wings - Four sizes of iridescent hex glitter , white bars and squares, small gold hex, and gold micro and gold uber-micro/shimmer glitter for layering. The pictures just don't do this one justice.  Pics are shown with two thin coats and no top coat over red, green, white, and black.

4. Rockin' Around the Xmas Tree - metallic green bar glitter with red, blue, purple, holo gold, holo silver hex and holographic micro glitter in a clear base for layering. Everything a glittery tree should be!  Pics are shown with one coat and no top coat over red, green, white, and black.

5. You're A Mean One... - In honor of my favorite holiday movie from my childhood. He's mean and green but he has a heart. Small and medium size matte neon green hex with matte red hearts in a matte clear base.

6. Melted Snowmen - Multiple sized white hex (snowman bodies), tiny black hex (coal eyes and mouth), metallic orange flakies (carrot noses), and iridescent micro glitter in a matte clear base. Poor snowmen.

7. White Christmas - matte red, white, green squares, small satin green and white hex in milky white base.

Nina Ultra Pro Electric Slide

One of the polishes I scored from Sally Beauty the other day was Nina Ultra Pro Electric Slide. It looked like a pretty cool neon green jelly with  gold and iridescent glitter in it. This is two coats of Electric Slide no base coat and no top coat.

Meh! So disappointing! It looks kind of like I have some weird nail illness that made them all gross greeny-yellow and I was trying (and failing) to hide it with glitter. Yuck! But all is not lost, that's what layers are for!

I layered two coats of Electric Slide over 2 coats of China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard (should have done 3 as I can still see a bit of VNL). Loooove it! Very summery (it's still in the 100+ degrees where I am, so until the weather gives over to fall I am refusing to put my summer neons away).

Orly Mermaid Tale

Today's polish, Mermaid Tale, is one of my favorites from Orly's Flash Glam FX Collection. I knew when I bought these that Mermaid Tale and Spazmatic (tomorrow's) would be my fav two. I wasn't wrong. I am having trouble deciding which is my absolute fav of the bunch nd I thought it'd be Spazmatic but after this I'm not sure. Anyway, Mermaid Tale is a clear base chock full of green holographic glitter in medium and small sizes. There is also small green glitter. Beautiful! This one had a nice application for being on the thick side (again LOTS of glitter). This is one coat over a black creme topped with one coat of Gelous.

I admit I didn't want to take this one off. Much Love, The Dragon Lady

 In my last post you saw that I managed to score Orly's new glitter collection from Sally Beauty. I decided to sample them before I choose my vacay mani and wow. Just wow! I couldn't believe how sparklie these were I just had to post some pics. I am going to attempt to squeeze the time to swatch these all over black before I go and use them as posts while I'm in Fort Bragg. So on to more pics!

Sunlight

On the nails, 2 coats of polish no undies. On rings, one coat over black. I haven't finished the rings I am making from this collection yet (still need to set stone) but keep an eye out for them either in a future giveaway or on Etsy or both. Hubby has been bugging me to do something to pay for this addiction to polish, LOL!
