 Here is a swatch of Two Birds Fly-ceratops.  I used Revlon Haunted Heart (two coats) as my underwear.
 Fly-ceratops has big black squares, medium blue squares, and small neon green glitters.  It applied easily and I think the glitters distributed themselves pretty nicely across the nails.
 I apologize for the smudgy bit on my ring finger.  Apparently I did not wait long enough between coats and rushed my swatch.  In my defense, I was hurrying to get the last of the sun light.  :)
 I actually have Revlon Haunted Heart on by itself as my pedi.
You can find Fly-ceratops and other awesome Two Birds nail polishes on Etsy here.  Fly-ceratops was provided to me for review.  Thanks so much, Sarah!

 For this mani I started with two coats of Contrary Polish Santorini.
 Santorini is much prettier and more shimmery than my pictures let on.  It also dries matte, for what it's worth.  I added a coat of Two Birds Vel-awesome-raptor, followed by many coats of top coat.
 You might not be able to tell here, but the top coats were a total fail and gave me a zillion tiny bubbles (see on the ring finger below)!  I blame the Pro FX ultra fast dry top coat for that.  I believe I used a coat of Instant Artificials, two or three coats of Dior's top coat, then a coat of Pro FX (by that point I was amused that Dior was doing nothing to smooth the glitters, probably due to its watery texture, so I just slapped on the Pro FX hoping that its thicker texture would do the trick).  It did smooth everything, but at the cost of a million bubbles!  Truthfully, it didn't matter much since Vel-awesome-raptor's tons of tiny green and black glitters largely masked the bubbles.
You can find Contrary Polish here and Two Birds here.  Vel-awesome-rapter was generously provided to me for review purposes.  I am really enjoying Two Birds polishes and knew that I already loved Contrary Polish.  Great formula on both, and in the future I'll be sure not to mess with Dior's top coat for any polish with even the remotest amount of texture!!

 Are you ready for this?!
 This is three coats of Two Birds Shine by Night.
 Uh.....YES, PLEASE!
 This instantly reminded me of Across the Universe, but truly, I think this is cooler.
 My coworker saw these and squealed, "Green Hornet nails!" with delight!  :)
I used a ton of I don't know what exactly to smooth everything out, but clearly it was well worth it.  Application was somewhat tricky, as chunky glitters can be, but nothing out of the ordinary or particularly difficult.  I would probably opt to use dark underwear next time around, just to make the application a little easier (but then again, you likely loose some depth and groovy jelliness that way).

You can find Two Birds' unique and gorgeous polishes at their Etsy shop here.  Thanks again to Sarah for sending me this polish to review.  :)

 This post is going to feature a new-to-me indie polish called Two Birds.
 I started here with two coats of OPI You Only Live Twice.  It is a really beautiful and shimmery pink that leans red.
 The redness here freaked my camera out, of course, so you'll have to imagine that this is a million times prettier in person!  It's a very holiday gorgeous kind of color.
I then topped it with a coat of Two Birds Spun Sugar.
 Spun Sugar has big white glitter, small blue glitter, and tiny pink glitters all in a nearly translucent base.  I'm not positive if it's completely translucent or ever so slightly pink.  Obviously for this combo, it didn't really matter to me because of my pinkish undies!
 I love how it looks!  The glitters dispersed themselves really nicely and I think it's a cute mani.  :)
 I'm definitely going to have fun coming up with other combinations to use with Spun Sugar.
 What color would you put it over?
You can find Spun Sugar and other Two Birds polishes at Sarah and Sandy's Etsy store here.  Thanks so much to Sarah for providing me with this funky cool polish to review!


This Is Me!

My photo
I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
