my final (& favorite) St. Patty's day polish!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, ya'll!
Hope everyone had fun immersing themselves in beer, green attire, & what have you :P

So tonight's little gal is the other polish i bought (along with this one) from GlitterFest.
There's not really much of an introduction necessary; the polish speaks for itself!


Behold, 'Free Bird' !
GlitterFest describes 'Free Bird' as "a gorgeous emerald green with gold flakes throughout". It's a light green base with SO many different kinds of glitter- it's nuts. Just with the naked eye, you can see that 'Free Bird' has loads of teeeeeeeny dark green glitter, along with large hexagonal & square pieces of green glitter, large square and triangular gold glitter, and large holographic golden diamond glitter (whew- mouthful).
!!!!
So neat, and different from any other polishes I have.

H YEAH!
So rich and lustrous it's ridiculous. I thought about just using 1 coat & using the polish as a topcoat, but I liked the effect I got with 2 coats, so I went with that instead. I don't have another polish that's this shade of green, and I really like it.

All in all, I'm totally pleased with 'Free Bird', and GlitterFest in general. As I've stated before, each of their polish is about $4 (because it's in a smaller bottle, but that's ok with me :)) and you can get them off their Etsy website. I know that I, for one, am definitely going to be getting some more. Shipping was super fast & they came seriously like 2 days later. 

Anyway, hope everyone had a lovely St. Pat's!
I've got my Zoyas from their recent promotion and a new palette coming in the mail... so I'm super excited about upcoming posts!
:D

a jam packed Field Day

Happy mid-week everyone!
Fairly exciting post tonight for you.
I bought my first GlitterFest polishes the other day,
& this is the first of the two.


'Field Day' is a clear base with OVER 30 different types of glitter!!! So nuts. The most prominent color is gold, but there are definitely obvious hints of light blue, lavender, and a light pink in there as well (among others), PLUS a nice touch of holographic glitter to much of that. Most of it is small, medium, & large hexagonal glitter with some (holographic) gold bars, too.

* sunlight

Here I used 2 coats of 'Field Day' over 2 coats of Sinful Color's 'What's Your Name' because I really found it to look it's best over a super dark color... though I (oddly enough) don't have a plain, solid black- which would be ideal for this polish.

I really loved this little guy. I found new colors/shades in each different kind of light I was in throughout the day. You can get GlitterFest polishes on Etsy for about $4 a piece (yay!), though that's mainly because they're in what looks like old Bon Bon bottles, but that's ok. They shipped super quick, also :)
