  • Holiday NOTD: Green Stars?

Soooo this is the only photo I have of this manicure and it makes me soooo mad. I had more but my computer had crashed as I was editing them and the only one that survived was the ONE I had managed to edit D:

This manicure is sort of barely a holiday one haha. You could most definitely wear this any time of the year. I have two coats of Wet N Wild Fast Dry Nail Color in Sage In The City and 1.5 coats of Wet N Wild Fast Dry Nail Color in Star of the Show. I say 1.5 because a lot of the glitter was fished out and placed where I wanted. I really really really WANT to love Star of the Show, I mean look, IT’S STARS, but they definitely do NOT lay flat on the nail and as with any macro glitter they’re really hard to just place and you have to fish them out and waaaahhh. Use 2+ coats of a thick top coat to smooth the stars out or you WILL be tempted to pick off the stars. I know I was….

Anyway! Sage in the City is a permanent shade, you can see my review of it here. Star of the Show is a limited edition shade from the Party Rocks collection but you should totally be able to still find it floating around. As difficult as it is to deal with I still say go and grab it because I like having these star polishes around for nail art. Both of these are going for $1.99 at your local drugstore and drugstore.com!

About Valerie Vanity

I am a freelance makeup artist and a stay at home mom, I LOOVVVVEEE all things beautiful and sparkly. There are very few looks that I wouldn’t try to pull off, and I just love playing with makeup. I was inspired to start this blog when I found that I couldn’t really find very many beauty bloggers out there that are willing to speak in layman’s terms (took me forever to get the hang of “warm grey with a subtle blue shift”. The funny thing is, now I talk like that! But I do my best to describe techniques and products in way that doesn’t confuse or intimidate.

    It kills me when glitter doesn’t lay down flat! Snags on everything. Oh well, beautiful all the same!

    At first I thought the stars were nail art or something like that! It wasn’t until I looked closer that I realized they were another polish! I really like the sage color though, too bad the starsies didn’t work out.

    I thought the stars were those little stickers for a second! Pity they didn’t sit down flat :( Pretty mani though :) that green is awesome!

  5. Thanks! I just can’t resist the temptation of peeling off the glitter, especially when it snags in my hair or my clothes!
