Best of 2012 - Glitter Toppers

Hi Goddesses

So this is a bit like the final stage of Boot Camp.  After this post, you will have seen all the contestants going through to Judges Houses lol, and from there, I will pick my ultimate polish of the year.  Even now, I haven't decided whether to do an Indie Top 10 and a Big Boys Top 10, or just merge them .... ah, decisions.

Today is the polishes I couldn't really fit in any other category, so I have called them glitter toppers.  They are all stunning glitters which can't really be worn alone OR have too many colours in them to belong to any of the other posts.  As ever, click on the name of the polish to go through to the original blog post.  Ready ??

Red Carpet Lacquer - Oz, Not Kansas

Ooooh I feel hard for this one earlier in the year.  I'm not big on subtle top coats, but this baby glitterbomb was a real winner for me.

Wonder Beauty Products - Hippie Fest

My first experience with a shredded glitter and I loved it!  Purple and teal perfection, all in a gorgeous shimmery soup.

Dollish Polish - Random Dancing

How do I love thee, let me count the ways.  I have back up bottles, PLURAL, of this.  I love square glitter, and this polish is just pure joy for me.

Crows Toes - Her Goose Got Cooked

This, for me, is really unique.  Rose gold and copper, I haven't seen this mixture before, but oh wow it looks good. Sooooo good.

Crows Toes - Maxxed Out 

HGGC's sister, this is silver and gold.  Pure dingalingablinga-tastic.  Genius.

The Polish Bar - Pumpkin Fairy

I described this as a fight between a tiger and a disco ball.  I think it's one of my best descriptions of the year!  Nuff said.

The Polish Bar - Witches Delight

Oh I loved this a LOT.   Orange, purple and black matte glitter.  Hummana mummana.

Crows Toes - Hell Hath No Fury

This is pure electric.   Red, orange and violet insanity.  Argh, dream polish !!

Crows Toes - Voodoo

More orange and purple malarkey.  Hallowe'en truly belonged to the Crow.

So, any favourites of yours I've left out ?

Enjoy xx :)

Halloweenie - The Polish Bar Witchs Delight

Hi Goddesses

Let's start with an apology shall we, for the lack of posts yesterday.  I was a little sleepy at work, so when I got home at 6.30, I decided to have a little snoozette.   Usually, I then wake up between 9 and 10, have something to eat, do the blog, go back to bed.  Well .... this time when I woke up it was this morning !  Whoops!!  Still, it's the first time in forever I can remember seeing a time before 9am on a weekend lol.

This post more than makes up for it though - another stunner from The Polish Bar.   I am loving Janice's polishes.  I got about 6 I think in my swap with Katee, and you'll see most of the rest soon on Work Wear Wednesdays, as they are all rainy coloured polishes if that makes sense - greys and lilacs, with the odd storm cloud thrown in.

Anyway, back to Witch's Delight - could this BE more Crumpet-in-a-bottle ?  Wow.  This is a mix of orange, black and purple glitter (ie pure Halloween) in a clear base and it is STUNNING.

I love the effect of these glitters.  The orange clashes fabulously with the darker glitters, whilst the purple is decently attention grabbing too.  And then the black just grounds it.  Perfection.

I layered this over KIKO 318, a lovely creamy mauve, and I don't think I could have picked a more perfect base - it allows all the colours to shine.  It compliments the glitters without ever once detracting from them.

So, total love from me on this one.  I'm now on holiday for a whole week!!!  Prepare yourselves as you may get a little bombarded.  I really want to get the vault emptied, so I think I'm going to do some big SPAM posts to get rid of them all lol.

Next week there will still be the Halloweenies and then Thursday sees the start of 30 Days of Purple - yup, November is all about my beloved purple :)

Soon xx  Enjoy :)
