ManGlaze Fatty's Got More Blood

Fatty's Got More Blood was one of the ManGlazes I knew I had to have from the moment I saw swatches of it. And I absolutely love how fitting it is withManGlaze's gory/tough image!

This is three thin coats of Fatty's Got More Blood.





After adding a top coat, I realised that Fatty's Got More Blood has this subtle purple sheen to it.



I love how ManGlaze polishes always look so different with a top coat on. It's like two for the price of one!





After seeing the purple sheen, I had an idea of layering Max Factor Fantasy Fire over Fatty's Got More Blood. Boy, was that a good idea!

This picture shows the redder side of Fantasy Fire. 



Here's a macro shot of Fantasy Fire over Fatty's Got More Blood. I love how the red/amber/green shimmer fromFantasy Fire mixes with the purple/blue shimmer from Fatty! HELLO GORGEOUS!



Now we can see the warmer side of FF, with the red to amber shift.





And I'm ending things off with a picture of FF's amber to green shift.



Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Perfect matte polish and a perfect topper! 'Nuff said.

ManGlaze ILF

I must admit, I gave in to buying this polish after contemplating for months. What did it for me was Jane's swatches of ILF and her glitter gradient. 

This is three thin coats of ILF.



ILF is such a lovely seafoam shade. It's so lush and yet so bright and cheery!



Adding a top coat made ILF a tad bit darker and greener, and it bought out the shimmers even more.



Glossy ILF just takes me away to some resort in the Bermudas. I just want to chill and dip my toes in the ocean. 





Absolute love <3

Polish Days: Bling

I've been sitting out the past two Polish Days because I've been so busy with work and I just couldn't miss the last Polish Day even of 2012! This month's theme is.....



BLING BLING BLING!

Since I'm still very much into the whole jelly sandwich thing, I decided to do one with some pretty gold glitters. I'm wearing Etude House MO2D1, sanwiched between Nubar Dark Wash Jeans. And to bling it up even more, I couldn't resist painting an accent nail with three coats of OPI Bring On The Bling.



Here's a close up shot.



I really wanted to get my polished paws on HAREpolish Archipelago during the Llarowe restock but unfortunately, I don't think that baby got listed so I tried to come up with a lookalike by layering on another coat of the Etude House Gold Glitter.



I just wish Dark Wash Jeans was more jelly so the gold glitter underneath would shine through more. That said, I'm in love with the colour combination of navy and gold! <3
