Daft Nails!
Do you guys like Daft Punk? I do, and If you're like me and you've been waiting for this album for 7 years you're probably excited too. I did these nails because their new album, Random Access Memories, came out today. I've been listening to the leak for about a week and I think it's pretty awesome!
For these nails I started with two coats of a regular black, I used Essence Black is Back, on each finger. For the logo on my thumb, I used white acrylic paint. The glitters on my index and middle fingers are Thomas and Guy-Manuel from Daring Digits Daft Punk set that I don't think is available anymore. Thomas (on my index finger) is a silver shimmer with silver hexagons, large red squares, and small black and red squares. Guy-Manuel is a gold base with multicolored square glitters and gold hexagons.
The glitter on my ring and index fingers is just some loose black glitter that I poured over a coat of wet black polish. I used that because I think it looks like those really cool YSL sequin suits that they're wearing now.
I used two coats of top coat on these just to be sure that everything was nice and smooth.

Pretty and Polished Dolli-Pop
Dolli-Pop is a color changing nail polish that changes based on the temperature of your body. This nail polish is blue when warm and purple when it's cold. This is two coats.
This picture shows the nail polish just regularly on my nails. The tips are purple because they don't touch my skin, this gives it a gradient effect.
This is just after running some cold water over my nails.
Here it is after running hot water over my nails.
This is a few seconds after running hot water over my nails, the water drops were cooling and changing the polish to purple in some spots. I thought it looked cool.

King of C-C-Cool
Today I'm wearing King of C-C-Cool from the Pretty and Polished Mathematical Collection. This collection is Adventure Time themed and this polish was inspired by the Ice King.
This is a blue base with all kinds of awesome glitter in it. It has tiny red glitter, small and medium sized hex glitter, medium sized yellow glitter and larger white diamond shaped glitter! This was three thin coats, but this definitely could be layered over other colors.
I really really like this, It's perfect for winter and I actually thought about putting some little snow flakes on it.

Gangrene from WickedPolish
Yay for Indie nail polish! This one is called Gangrene and it's from the WickedPolish Pestilence Collecion.
This color is a milky white base with matte neon glitter. Yes, I said matte and neon and it looks as awesome as it sounds. The white base is packed with tiny, bright yellow glitters, medium sized green and yellow hexes and large green and yellow hexes.
I did need to do a base for this color, I used an off white that I had laying around.
I think the reason I love this one so much is because it's really unique. I mean I've never seen a polish with neon glitter in a white base haha so to me, this one is really cool.

Forest Lights from Serum No. 5
This is one coat of Serum No. 5 Forest Lights over two coats of China Glaze Agro. I looooooove Forest Lights so much! It's a sheer green with all kinds of different glitters from tiny white squares to big green hexagons! This color could be worn on its own, but I chose to layer it over a dark foresty green. This could probably look awesome over black or blue too.

Black Cat Lacquer "The Skinner"
This is "The Skinner" from Black Cat Lacquer. I have been on an indie polish kick this month, and when I saw this on etsy I had to have it. I really think it was the description that sold me "Part of our Darkly Dreaming collection, The Skinner is made to look like
the bleeding flesh of his victims." Haha I like weird things...
Anyway, This nail polish is a red micro glitter in a nude/light pink base. I have nothing like this and I've never seen anything like this either. That could be a reason why I loved it so much. The formula of this is perfect and I only needed two coats for it to be completely opaque, and this went on surprisingly smooth for a nail polish with glitter.
I already have soo many Halloween nail ideas for this planned in my head... is it Halloween time yet? haha
And any other Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire fans think of House Bolton...I really feel like this would be their official nail polish.

If i had to grade this, I'd give it an A+ I love love love it! Here are some pictures!
This nail polish was purchased with my own money and all opinions are mine.

Day Glow
A beautiful pastel yellow by day and a bright glowing green by night, Day Glow from Serum No.5 is a new favorite of mine. I've layered two coats of this over a white to have a completely opaque color.
My accent nail is Serum No. 5 Mint To Be. It's a seafoam color with small silver hexagon glitters.

Oh man, am I excited for this! I finally scored a bottle of Floam from Ninja Polish. I've been waiting for this to be restocked for a while now, and when I saw a post on Instagram about it being available I jumped at the chance to get this! It finally arrived today, and I was so excited that I had to take off my other mani just to put this on.
Hit the jump for awesome pictures :D
