One of the new Sally Hansen collections includes their Diamond Strength line. The bottles received a small makeover (I like them better than the old versions) and there were two flakie polishes in the line that I was able to find: Glass Slipper and Princess Cut. I was so excited to find them at my Wal-Mart that I bought two of each flakie polishes (which is all they had left; honestly I would have bought more if they were available because I was so excited about them). I picked up two other shades, a raspberry pink glitter called Wedding Crasher and a duo-chrome called Black Tie.
Check out my pics & swatches of the shade Black Tie, and then of the shade Black Tie with Glass Slipper on top. Enjoy, and have a great start to your weekend!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I'll be hosting my niece's 12th birthday party. She decided to have a nail polish party with me as the "professional" to paint nails. It should be a fun day! I'll be back on Sunday at some point... the next blog post will come Sunday night or Monday at some point. Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDelete@ Lydz: I do plan to take photos of all the mani's I do. There will be between 10 and 15 girls... so I'm not doing anything super complicated. Just simple colors... some stamping... maybe some rhinestones..... and for me, lots of Advil, lol.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Glass Slipper! Sheer shimmery flakies like that are one of my faaaavorite kinds of layering polish.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the party!! :D
Very pretty! Just curious what kind of camera you use...your pictures are always amazing...any tricks I should know about?!
ReplyDelete@ Miranda: Thanks! I use a Nikon D80. It's really beat up because I used to have a photography studio and it got a lot of use during that time, but it still works! No special tricks... I do all my photos in the manual setting, adjusting the Fstop and aperture as needed. I use studio lighting and a white backdrop.
ReplyDeleteWhite flakes???? I'm in love
