Nostalgic Nail Lacquer Duckie + Barry M Mint Green

Nostalgic Duckie is a glitter polish in a sheer milky base. You can wear it alone but I prefer to layer it over a complimenting color. I think it's too sheer by itself but I know some people like that look. I've been in love with milky glitters for the past few months and I'm happy to have this polish in my collection. I managed to snag this and Blane during one of Nostalgic's sales.
I love the colors and sizes of the glitters. My only complaint about this polish is that there aren't enough glitters in it (despite how it looks in these pictures). I know it's meant to be sparse but this was just a little too sparse. I had to fish around to get some glitters out. This is two slightly thick coats over Barry M Mint Green.

Here's Barry M Mint Green by itself. Mint green is one of my favorite colors of nail polish. It's just a very calming color for me to look at. This polish leans more blue than any of the other mints in my collection. I don't have anything else similar. Application was wonderful. 

Taped Mani

Not much chatter today but I wanted to show you what I'm wearing on my nails. I haven't worn a tape mani in forever! I need to do these more often, they're really fun!
The colors I used are China Glaze For Audrey and Electric Beat (from Electropop).

I finally got around to making a blog sale. These polishes have been sitting in my swap box for far too long and they're starting to drive me crazy!

Essence A Lovely Secret

Essence A Lovely Secret

I'm not sure how to describe this color. Sometimes it looks like a pastel lavender and other times it looks periwinkle. Either way, the color is very nice.

Not going to lie, when I applied this I was a little disappointed. What originally drew me to this polish was all of the shimmer you can see in the bottle. When I put in on my nails though, the shimmers disappeared. It makes the polish look speckled, which is pretty cool just not what I was expecting when I bought it. 

Application was very nice. I really like the brush on the Essence bottles. It fit my nails very nicely. I barely had any cleanup to do.
