All That Glitters

 Hello!  I feel like it's been so long since I've written a post, since I've been really enjoying my time at this ballet school but I've also been really busy and with limited internet connection!  Luckily I'm back today with some swatches of a few beautiful polishes from All That Glitters!  Enjoy!

First Is Plum & Plummer.  I have to admit, glitters in shimmer bases don't normally appeal to me, but I picked this one solely for the name.  I'm very glad I did, because this polish was a pleasant surprise!  It's a mix of gunmetal and purple hex glitters in a shimmery light purple base.  The polish was easy to apply and didn't need any underwear.  For the photos I used 3 coats of Plum & Plummer, though two would be enough if you don't mind a bit of visible nail line.






Valentine Massacre is a mix of all different shapes and sizes of red and black glitter in a dark red base.  This one was a pain to apply, and it seemed as if there was more glitter than base in it.  It was really goopy, and got quite thick on some of my nails.  I do really like the final look though, I think this would be a good polish for fall and winter.  For the pictures I layered one coat of Valentine Massacre over one coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Cherry Red






Last for today is without a doubt one of this indie polish maker's most popular creations, Spotty Dottie Light.  I absolutely adore this polish, it's such a quick and easy way to turn a plain manicure into something eye-catching and unique!  When I wore this I had so many people asking me how I 'did' the white, and they couldn't believe it was just glitter! ("But glitter is sparkly!?")  Application is a little finicky, but the end result is so worth it.  Here I have one coat of Spotty Dottie Light over one coat of Orly Snowcone.






All That Glitters polishes can be bought on Etsy here, and like their Facebook page to keep up to date with new polishes and restocks so you don't miss out on getting yourself some of her unique polishes! 

On a side note, I just wanted to say thank you to you all for being so understanding about my lack in posting lately.  Also, thank you for all your lovely comments, even if I don't have time to respond to them right now I read and appreciate every single one!  :)
