Untried Wednesday: Zoya Willa and Dollish Polish A Unicorn Farted in my Polish

Happy Wednesday all! I hope you're all doing well.  Today I have two untrieds to show.  Slowly, but surely I am getting to my 40 untrieds before this no buy is over.  These are numbers 23 and 24.  Woo! Go me!

First off I have Zoya's Willa.  It is a two coat black cream that was released in their 2014 Wishes collection this last Winter.  I received it as part of their Black Friday Mystery Box and Bag, which I reviewed here, along with the rest of my Black Friday/Cyber Monday experience.  The formula is a little patchy on the first coat, but it is opaque with a second.  It dries to a very glossy finish.

I topped off my nails with two coats of Dollish Polish's A Unicorn Farted in my Polish.  Yes, take a moment to appreciate that name.  I love it.  On the store front Dollish Polish says "This glitterbomb consists of every color in the rainbow! Glitters ranging from small to large, in stars, moons, squares, dots, hexagons, rectangles and more!"  I would mostly agree, but I found that my brush only really picked up the white shaped glitters.  I did end up with some yellow stars and a blue heart, the rest of the glitters were white.  I suspect I probably used up most of the white glitters in one go.  For the bigger glitters, I did have to spin my brush around the bottle a bit and place them on my nails to make sure that each nail had some.

Untried Wednesday: Starrily Barbie's First Christmas and Essie Scarlett O'Hara

Merry Christmas Eve and last night of Hannukah!  I hope you all are having a great holiday, or just a great normal day.  I have a half day at work today then we're heading over to the in laws for the holiday, so here's hoping work doesn't drag on.

The red on my nails is Essie's Scarlett O'Hara, a glowing red shimmer.  It was completely opaque in two coats, but I added a third to deepen the color.  I feel that it is a good staple color to have in any collection, but there are similar shades out there.  So this specific one is not necessary.  My accent fingers are Starrily's Barbie's First Christmas with is a white crelly base full of different shaped glitters.  It has pink butterflies, purple stars, lime green large hexes, red circles, and pink, green, and red smaller hexes.  It was opaque in two coats.  The glitter was very dense, so I did not have any problem getting the larger pieces on my nail, but it did make the formula a little thick.  I just had to make sure I placed the large pieces instead of just swiping with them.

As I have mentioned in myBlack Friday Haul, the Starrily customer service and shipping was TERRIBLE, but I adored all of the polishes I had ordered.  So if you don't mind waiting or can avoid sales, Barbie's First Christmas was fantastic.  You can check out Starrily here.  There is only a select inventory right now, because apparently they are still shipping out their November orders.  From Black Friday.  Yeah.

Mani Monday: Glitter Tips

Happy Monday!  Did everyone have a nice weekend?  I'm still on a giddy rush from my Christmas party with my nail girls from Saturday.  So many polishes got knocked off my wishlist, I just can't even deal.  I wanted to bring you all my mani from that awesome day, so here it is!

Our theme for the meet up glitter and I decided to match to match a pink sweater with a large, silver sequined bow.  I painted two coats of This Gown Needs a Crown from OPI's 2013 Miss Universe collection.  It is a silver metallic polish that dries to a satin matte finish.  I did paint a coat of top coat because I was trying to do my mani quickly.  On my other fingers I painted three coats of Essie's Got Engaged from their 2014 Wedding collection.  It is a pretty baby pink with a heavy shimmer in the bottle that does not translate onto the nail at all. The first coat was patchy, and the second helped, but was not enough to make it opaque.  

I then used a make up sponge to pat Essie's Set in Stone on the tips of my nails and also painted a coat of it on my silver nail.  Sponging glitter is a quick and easy way of glamming up your nails and keeping them from getting too thick with the clear base.
