Glitter Gal- Lizard Belly

I have heard nothing but amazing thing about this dark green holographic polish from Glitter Gal called Lizard Belly. Seriously, it seemed like every person who was in to nail polish had this. So, of course, I had to jump on the band wagon. And I'm so glad that I did! Glitter Gal is a another wonderful Australian brand. Maybe I should just move there, ha!

Lizard Belly is a very dark green, almost black. In fact, it's really hard to tell it's dark green unless you're in direct sunlight (and let's face it...you're wearing a holographic polish, of course you'll be in the sun 24/7!!!). And this baby is packed with holographic amazing-ness. Seriously, it is so pretty. But so hard to capture on film! But, I did my best with my camera, so here we go! Click on these pictures to make them bigger so you can really see the rainbows on each nail!

Seriously, every nail looked like that last bottle shot. So pretty, it was blinding! But in a good way! All of these photos were 2 coats and taken in the sun. I bought LB from Llarowe for $14 and she does ship almost everywhere! Just so you know this is a mini bottle, so you are paying a lot for a little bit of polish. I get impatient when I see something I like and don't look at all of the fine details so I was shocked to see how small it was. But totally worth it! Next time I'll probably layer it over a dark green (maybe NARS Zulu) to conserve the polish.

Some Flakie Magic

Just a fun fact to start the post: Flakie polish is my absolute, hands down, favorite kind of polish. I hoard flakies, even if they're dupes. And I have been traveling all over trying to find all of flakies from Finger Paints and have only found 3 of the 5. (So if anyone has Motley or Twisted I would be willing to buy them from you!!!). People are selling them for ridiculous prices on eBay...they're only $5 at Sally's Beauty. Stupid. Anyways, on to the polish.

Today I have NARS Zulu, which is a gorgeous dark green jelly. It's seriously so shiny without a top coat. I love it. I decided to do some layering with Finger Paints Flecked, which is green and blue flakies in a clear base. It brought Zulu to life. So pretty! Take a look:

First, Zulu all alone. Pretty! This was 3 coats.

This is 1 coat of Flecked over Zulu.

Here's a good shot of the duochrome flakies, they flash green and blue.

Look at that! The polish glows from within. So pretty.

This is in natural sunlight. 

So what do you think? Do you like the whole flakie trend? Personally, I don't think you can ever have enough. (:
