Orchid Lollipop Nails

When I first began keeping a blog in October 2012, one of the first nail polishes I posted about was Lollipop by Urban Outfitters. It ended up being one of my most popular blogs, and I couldn't tell you why! I can no longer find Lollipop being sold in UO stores, so I hope you already scooped yours.

Here's a new way that I used it recently:

Polishes used:

- Beware by Pure Ice

- Orchid by Love & Beauty

- Lollipop by Urban Outfitters

Get it done:

1. Paint all nails except ring finger two coats of Orchid.

2. Paint ring finger several coats of Beware.

3. Paint two coats of Lollipop over the Beware on your ring finger.

Lollipop has a very sheer lilac-colored base, so I like the way Beware looks beneath it. It gives it a more opaque - yet still glittery - background.

Hope you like! If you try out something similar, Tweet me a picture at @akaBailey!

New Year's Eve Gettin' Buckwild, Throwing Confetti Nails

Do you own a black nail polish? Do you own a glittery nail polish? Do you have plans for getting totally crizunk for New Year's Eve next week and want to lewk kewler than err'body else? OH GEWD. I have just the nail polish look for you!

.  resolve this bitchessss  .

You can recreate this general kind of look with any of your glittery polishes that have a transparent or translucent base.

Start out with two coats of a jet-black nail polish. I used Black by Nina Ultra Pro, but it is becoming increasingly gloopy as of late, so I need to re-up and buy a new black polish. Probably the least exciting nail polish purchase I'll be making this decade. Stay tuned!

Side note here... Rocking two carefully applied coats of a black glossy polish actually looks much less gothic than I thought it would.

Once that dried, I went for my Lollipop nail polish from Urban Outfitters, which I wrote an entire blog about here. It's a multi-colored glittery polish with a very sheer lilac base, with both small and large chunks of glitter. I couldn't waaaaaait to see how it would look on top of an all-black base:

.  mmmmhmmm  .

Don't mind the busted pointer finger paint job. Just keepin' it real. I'll either patch it up with a dab of black paint and another coat of Lollipop... orrrr I will just peel off all of this paint from all of my nails in the next 5 - 7 hours. We'll see how it goes.

This look with Lollipop in particular reminds me of the confetti that gets thrown in the air at midnight on New Year's Eve, so I'm calling it Throwing Confetti. I really like the look of black with glitter on top of it, and can't wait to try it out with all of my other glitters too!

How does this make you feel inside? Do you have a favorite black nail polish? Is that a stupid question? Are you getting dressed up and buckwild for New Year's??

Urban Outfitters Lollipop Nail Polish

A couple of weeks ago I posted about purchasing two new nail polishes from Urban Outfitters - Dust and Lollipop. Dust was awesome and I've used it again since, but today I wanted to blog about Lollipop because it is even more unique than Dust and I have never seen anything else like it. (Let me know if you have!)

Lollipop has a very sheer lilac base with an entire party's worth of confetti inside! It's got two different sizes of glitter -  small rounds and chunky hexagonal.  Both glitters come in multiple colors:  blue, green, red, pink, silver and yellow. The below pics were with either 3 or 4 coats - I may have lost count!

It reminds me of those old school plastic clowns/plastic birthday balloon cake toppers:

Not an everyday look but it's fun and I'll definitely get plenty of use out of it. What do you think? That ish pretty cray right??
