CND Just Red + Red Sparkle (Red Hot)

This is the Valentine's Day CND Duo, Red Hot. I love the Just Red polish. It is a jelly, this is 3 coats. I love the way it applies. The Red Sparkle is nice for layering. Its a little sparse, but sometimes I like a more subtle glitter. It really does look a bit like a candy cinnamon red hot!

I really do love my CND Effects. They're really fun. I had applied ChG Midnight Ride and was disappointed with how black it was. The eggplant shimmer was very subtle. I decided to tart it up a bit.

I decided to add CND Sparkle Effects in Sapphire to my day old Drift Away Mani. Sadly, I did find that this Diamond Cosmetics polish did show tip wear rather quickly :( I got so many compliments on this mani after I added the sparkle to it. People loved it! A couple customers asked me specificly what polish it was.

You can see how the sparkle is duochromatic, blue to rose.

Happy Mardi Gras!

I have never really celebrated Mardi Gras, but I love green and purple! Today's NOTD in honor of Mardi Gras is China Glaze Emerald Sparkle + CND Effects Amethyst Sparkle and a little Konad flair on the ring finger. I forget which plate.

I love these CND Effects. It adds that extra purple sparkle to the China Glaze Emerald Green Sparkle.

CND Effects Crimson Sparkle

I love the CND Effects, especially the sparkles. This is the Crimson over a black. Please, pardon the tip wear, as I have been wearing this since yesterday.
