Hi guys! Phew, it's been a while, huh? Sorry for the hiatus, lots of things happening. I'm currently attending my last semester of my Graphic Design undergrad, and working on my thesis project. Also, I broke a nail on my 'swatching' hand, it was the saddest nub ever, and I didn't feel like painting my nails or taking pics of them for a while.
But, my nails are slowly growing back to their old self, and today I finally felt like taking pics of my mani :)
Today's mani is a glitterbomb from China Glaze's fall collection On Safari named I Herd That, which was sent to me by the love Eileen aka
The Sneakerette.
I Herd That is one of the two glitters from this collection (I also have the other one, I'm not Lion) and it's a warmer shade, mainly with gold, copper and tiny bits of holographic micro glitter.
I Herd That was very easy to work with and was practically opaque in 2 coats. I did 3 on these swatches because I had a tiny bit of VNL. It is a very hungry glitter though (therefore the title of this post), I needed 2 coats of Gelous and top coat to smooth it out. Still, it's really worth it.
And for funsies, here's a last macro shot of the amazing tiny pieces of glitter. Do you like this kind of shots? I recently got a macro add-on for my camera and thought it'd be fun to add a macro shots to my posts from now on.
And that's it. Thank you for reading and keeping up with me. I don't know how often I'll be posting, but I hope to write you again very soon!
I love how the tiny pieces of glitter you captured with your makro shot made the polish look as if it were textured
ReplyDeleteIt is textured if you don't add topcoat to it :p But the gritty-ness gets on my nerves, so I slap Gelous on it like there's no tomorrow. Thank you sweetie for your comment~
DeleteI love macro shots. Glad you came back! I missed your quirky posts :)
ReplyDeleteThank you darling! I hope to be posting more soon :)
DeleteLove macro shots! Thanks for the pretty pics. This is one of the ones I wanted from the collection...but not gonna lie the texture is making me think twice. Glad gelous fixed it
ReplyDeleteAh yezzz, this glitter! It was hungry, but not too bad after 2 coats of Seche Vite.
ReplyDeleteMacro shots-keeps doing em! I love having both macro AND a bit zoomed out, so that is just perfect :D
pretty! i love macro shots ^___^
ReplyDeletei never did get i'm not lion, but i'm kinda over it after my no buy :D
Aww, that sucks :( If it had been individually available here I'd have got it for you (it only came in a set of 3)
DeleteI love this glitter so much, and it's beautiful on you!! I thought it was really hungry too but so worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the macro close-up! You can really see all the pretty shades that go into this one.
Lovely! Looks great on you!
