Nails I Love
CHINA GLAZE
– It’s Alive
Hi Goddesses
Firstly, an
announcement – for those of you who have entered the giveaway so far and wanted
to see more glitter and more layering …. here it comes J
Talking of the giveaway, it’s slowed a lot today. The blog roll needs to show at least 100
Followers for the prizes to be available, so please make sure all your friends
join and enter J
Today we have China
Glaze IT’S ALIVE from this year’s Hallowe’en Collection. Seriously, polish is corrupting my DNA. For a girl who hates blue and green nails, I now
have over 30 of the buggers? How did that happen? And how do I even like them?
Let’s push these
disturbances aside however, and dwell on the gothic majesty of It’s Alive. In all the photos, I have used 2 coats, with
the exception of the middle finger which is just 1 coat, but over a coat of
black to give it more depth.
I LOVE this
polish. This is swamp green, cauldron
stew green, olive with bits of bogies in it !
Love it !! it’s almost a neon
olive, if you can imagine that, with a jellyish base then stacks of glitter,
big and small, some bits slightly more neon than the others. I also love how it looks like green fruit
pastels J
And now to the
layering, all the fault of Glitta Gloves, who did a guest post for someone
(sorry I forget who) and added a glitter called PITCH BLACK GLIMMER by
NOPI. It gave the mani the mani real
depth and a certain mystery, so it joined my lemming list.
Now successfully
acquired, it jumped onto my index and ring fingers so that I could compare it
to the single coat of It’s Alive over black.
Pitch-Black Glimmer is like coal dust.
A black jelly base, this has teeny tiny sparkles of black and holo
silver – can you see the tiny blue flashes on the nails ? That’s the Pitch-Black Glimmer.
In the bottle PBG is
fascinating .. but I think she deserves a post of her own to show you how
amazing she is.
Whatever you’re
doing this weekend, have a great one xxx J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
