Spoiled - Ants In My Pants

Hi guys! :) Today I'm gonna show you my mani I wore on the weekend.
This is Spoiled (by Wet n Wild) Ants In My Pants over OPI Lincoln Park After Dark.
I actually did my nails with just Lincoln Park After Dark first, but after having it on for 10 minutes it felt boring LOL. Ants In My Pants caught my eye so I put it on top. :)

Ants In My Pants is red glitter in two sizes in a black jelly base. The base looks pretty sheer but you can build it up on its own if you want to. This polish is similar to Deborah Lippmann's Ruby Red Slippers but waaaay cheaper, haha.

I'm sure everybody knows OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, right?! It's a super dark purple that is like 1 shade off of being black, lol! You can't even tell it's purple unless you're in bright light! I never felt the need to own this polish (because it's basically black!) but I bought it a couple months ago because it came in a duo pack, so I thought why not. Haha. I don't love it but meh. It's a classic colour.

I feel so weird wearing a dark combo when it's so hot outside right now! I usually stay WAY away from dark colours in summer. But in winter I'll wear anything..? I'm so weird. LOL.

31DC2012: Day 17 - Glitter

I own a LOT of glitter polish. Well at least I feel like I do. I love love LOVE glitter! I've got a gazillion glitters on my wish list also! So I had a tough time choosing a glitter to use for today's mani!

But I chose to go with a new one that I had yet to try and was excited for! :)
I did an opaque jelly sandwich which I've seen on Instagram. :) I started with a base of Ulta3 - Lily White, and then two coats of Spoiled - Trust Fund Baby which is blue, gold, and black hex glitters with square magenta glitters! The formula was pretty thick but not too hard to work with! I wasn't a HUGE fan of the brush which was very wide but it also wasn't a huge issue. I did two coats of Trust Fund Baby. Trust Fund Baby is another awesome polish I received in a swap from Natalie! :) (I've almost worn every one she gave me! After only just over a week of receiving her package!) Then I topped it all off with OPI - Don't Touch My Tutu, a sheer white jelly! Super pretty.

I feel like my camera couldn't focus on my mani so well because the glitter was sandwiched. Looks kinda blurry to me in my photos.
My boyfriend said it looked like ice cream with sprinkles! Haha!

Oh by the way, I'm not sure if you noticed but I've pretty much given up on the Girly Girl nail art challenge. LOL. It was too hard to keep up with two challenges at once! :P I had some ideas for some of the themes though so I'll just save them for a later time for some fun manis!
