Pink Wednesday: A Geeky Rainbow Cocktail

Hi pretties! How's it going out there in Internetland? I hope all is well with you guys and if not this is sure to cheer you up! I'm clearly not grasping the fact that it's autumn and refuse to wear anything remotely fall-related. So you get some more bright colors and such for a little while, weeeee! Denial is so fun!

For this NOTD I started with Urban Outfitters Cocktail, a perfect colored coral with not perfect application but much improved over Smush.


After that I added my most recent go-to glitter, Geek Glitter Rainbow Guard:


This is such a perfect combination, to me. I love finding colors that make all the glitters pop and this one does! The Geek Glitter is easily applied (see my previous post) and I just love it. I don't have enough good things to say! Seriously.

Oh, and just to amp the drool factor, here's a close up. Don't look at my cuticles. They'll make you cry, and we just want you to drool over glitter - no tears! PROMISE ME YOU WON'T LOOK. Ahem...


What do you think? I love this freaking polish. That's all there is to it.

xoxo,
Amanda

Geek Glitter: Rainbow Guard

Hi! So sorry that I've been MIA this week. I had a big exam to get my license on Thursday so I studied all week and was just worried and unfocused in general. The good news is I passed - so I get a raise and all that jazz :)

Today I have for you an incredible glitter by Geek Glitter, who was sweet enough to send me this bottle when I told her I liked a promo picture! Rainbow Guard is inspired by Game of Thrones (another reason I love it - my boyfriend and I both are into that show!) and features rainbow colors of glitter in small/medium size hexes, along with tiny holographic shimmer (or maybe it's microglitter...I can never really figure that out!)


The bottles are super cute so I included a couple pictures, her logo is adorable!


So for these swatches I used Essie French Affair as my base and applied two coats. The first coat I applied like a normal polish because I wanted the shimmer to be even and not just globbed on in random places. Glitter was somewhat sparse on the first coat, but I used a bit of dabbing with the second coat to put it where I wanted and I really liked the effect it had. The purple glitter really stood out to me because I feel like purple glitter is underutilized in indies a lot, but not here! I wouldn't wear this one alone but it's an amazing topper. I've worn this a couple times already, which is unheard of for me! I give this an A+ overall, even with the kind of-but-not-really tricky application.



PS Did you guys notice my subtle new watermarks? Also, this is my first post with a polish taken in my new lightbox! What do you think?
