Colors That Look Good on Short Nails: Fashion Footing Edition

Hey all! Today Amanda from Fashion Footing has a post for you guys, showing a color that looks good on short nails. Colors for short nails is one of my number 1 search terms so I'm going to try to bring you guys more of that via some of my own swatches and guest posts, if anyone else is interested in posting! Take it away, Amanda!

Hey guys!

I'm so happy to be doing a guest post for Amanda. I heart her and she's awesome and so much TWITTER LOVE!!! :-)

I feel like most colors look good on shorty nails and while I don't have the shortest nails ever, I certainly don't like my nails to be much longer than this.

This is probably one of my favorite Catrice polishes. King Of Greens is a positively gorgeous green with flashes of bright green shimmer. This was a dream to apply and covered like a champ.I used 2 easy coats. I don't even think I had to do any cleanup. Huzzah!

So gorgeous! If you can get some Catrice polishes, I highly recommend them!

Thanks for letting me guest post, Amanda!

The Rest of My Recent Haul Skittles

Hello again my lovely readers :) How is everyone today? I decided to skittle swatch the rest of my recent hauls and I realized a few things: 1. I am obsessed with nail polish. I know, I know. Who saw this coming? Well, apparently not me when I ordered like 700 polishes all in a week and actually verbally yelled YES! in my front yard when I saw a package. 2. I like purple, a lot. It replaced pink as my favorite color, I think. At least in terms of nail polish... Anyway.

Left to right, starting with thumb is: Catrice Dirty Berry, Ingrid 351, Essence Bella, Catrice Purplelized, and Deborah Milano Knock Out Violet.

Then, because I had about 900 glitter topcoats I ordered, I added those on top. From left to right, starting with thumb: Essence Circus Confetti, Essence It's Purplicious, Essence Edward (aw, Edward and Bella), Essence Black and White Make Me Holo (which, as you can see, did not make it holo, but did give it a cool pearlized effect), and Ruby Kisses All Purpled Out.

Finally, I decided to try out my Essence magnetics and the final polish that I couldn't fit elsewhere. The magnetics are cleaned up kinda, well, crappily, because I was so busy trying to get the magnet to them to get a pattern with no luck.

Left to right, ending with thumb: Essence Magic Wand, Mystic Wish, Miracle Shine, and Hex Hex!, then Deborah Milano Love at First Sight.

And because I still had more glitter topcoats, here are the metallics with glitter. Left to right: Florimar 010, Essence Hello Holo, Essence Julia (Kirsten, it's SQUARE GLITTER), and Essence Blair.

In conclusion, I'm in love with Essence and everything they do.

If you made it this far, kudos to you! Do you guys like the pictures of the bottles, or is it too much? I like seeing them because, well, they're sparkly. And pretty. And I like pretty and sparkly and colorful. But is it too much for you, as the reader and not as me, the blogger who is obsessed with glitters?

Hi, My Name is Amanda and I am a Polish Addict...

Hello all! I'm posting this late, late on Monday because I just can't wait! I came home and my Beauty Joint order was in, completing my trifecta of hauls! This entire post is dedicated to Kirsten at Glitta Gloves because she is a complete sweetheart who has been so helpful and sweet and friendly and funny and always reassures me when I need it. Oh, and she really loves everything that I bought, pretty much.

First up, I ordered Nfu Ohs from Fabuloustreet.com!

 Nfu Oh 63, 64, and 65 (and no, you're not seeing things: 63 and 64 are incredibly close even though 63 is supposedly pink and 64 is purple... but they're both still awesome!)

Then I got my haul from Slovenia from Dolores at Colorful Bottle. Words cannot even do this girl justice! She is such a sweetheart and I absolutely recommend swapping with her if you can: she's so helpful and friendly, and she has access to some amazing goodies! Thank you my dear, you made me so very happy!

 Here's what I got when I poured out the package:

Look at all that cautious wrapping! <3

Here it is all unwrapped:
