Candy Cane Nails with Ciaté Enchanted Rose

Christmas is just days away, and that gives me a chance to step out of my comfort zone. I rarely wear red, but was immediately drawn to an exclusive red glitter from Ciaté's Mini Mani Month advent calendar. Hidden behind advent door number 8 lies Enchanted Rose.

Enchanted Rose is a gorgeous and alluring red glitter in a clear base. It has a marvelous sparkle and shimmer. It's a glitter that I found myself staring at when ever I could. In dim lighting enchanted rose was great but in full sun, it truly turns into a showstopper. This is two coats of Enchanted Rose over Ciaté's Dangerous Affair plus top coat.

As mentioned Enchanted Rose is an exclusive color to the advent calender, and in my opinion, a fun treat for any nail polish enthusiast. You can buy the calender from Ciaté for $58.

Sassy Lacquer - Here Cums Santa

A few days ago, I was lucky enough to win a bottle of nail polish from Sassy Lacquer. I was beyond excited because this was my first indie polish. There is something really awesome about supporting a fellow nail polish addict and having a polish that is new, unique and something not many people will have.

Here Cums Santa is a polish with a very naughty, but fun, name. A milky white polish with Santa colored glitter floating inside. The fun display of square, bar and round glitter has the right amount of naughty and nice. An added bonus is that this polish goes on smooth and no "fishing" is needed to get every glitter out, for all to see. This is three coats plus a top coat.

Purple Glitter Bomb!

Today I have a fun glitter polish for you from Prisma Luminous Color. Sadly none of my Prisma nail polishes have names. A real shame in my opinion, since it will make it hard for others that like this polish, to find and buy it. So I have decided to call this color Glitter Bomb.

Glitter Bomb is a smooth fun glitter polish set in a clear base. It has a dense array of small purple, magenta and teal round glitter pieces. Application was smooth and easy to work with. This is two coats of Glitter Bomb layered over Sally Hansen Black Out and a top coat.

Neon Yellow and a Hint of Pink

A England's Lady of the Lake

Lady of the Lake was one of three polishes I ordered from A England. And all I can say is that I wish I had ordered the entire collection. These polishes are gorgeous and are opaque in just one coat. Yes, one coat! A England packs a powerful punch with amazing color, formula and value.

Lady of the Lake is a deep purple with a beautiful scattered holographic effect. The formula is so smooth and gives you full coverage in just one coat. Lady of the Lake is easily, in my top five, of favorite polishes.
