Wham! Pow!
Hey guys! Today's post features some neon and holographic glitter, it's like a rave on my nails.
This orange is Color Club Wham! Pow! and the name is fitting because this color is crazy bright! I needed about three coats and I really should've put this over white, but I didn't. The formula on this one was really meh too, it's kinda thick and it dried before it could even out. I guess the end result is worth it though, because it's so bright and pretty.
The gold glitter I'm wearing is Stun from Floss Gloss. This is a holographic gold glitter and wow, this is awesome. I love everything about this nail polish. I only needed two coats of this and the formula was really great for being a glitter.
The picture below shows the holo-y-ness of the glitter. Super pretty, right?

Born Pretty Store Cone Studs Review
It's really no secret that I like studded things, so today I have a review for these edgy spike studs from Born Pretty Store.
These cone shaped studs come in a set of 10 and come in both gold and silver. These turned out to be much bigger than I'd expected them to be, but they're still pretty cool and they didn't get in the way as much as I thought they would.
I started out with two coats of nail polish and then top coat and let that dry before I attached these. When I did attach them, I put a tiny amount of nail glue on the bottom of the stud and a dab of the glue on my nail. I just picked these up with my fingers becuase they were big enough, and I placed them where I wanted them and let the glue dry.
When the glue was dry, I used my top coat again to go around th base of the studs to smooth out any bumps that the glue left and to secure the studs more.
The studs stayed on my nail for about two cays before they started to come off, but I think that was my fault for not using enought glue to secure them. They didn't really get in the way either, but they made my finger feel really heavy because they're metal.
If you use the coupon code SGL91 you can get 10% off of your order and they always have free shipping!
The nude polish that I used for these was Zoya Avery and the gold gradient was done with Julep Oscar.
I did change my nail shape before doing these, but I'm already back to square haha.
