A big thank you! :)

This is a very special post! I want to give a big thank you to all my facebook friends for voting for me and the amazingly talented Wing Dust Collections. She can be found on facebook as well, here https://www.facebook.com/WingDustCollections and at Llarowe. 

I actually won this polish! I've never won anything that I can think of. I want to say thank you to Wing Dust for this generous gift and I hope the creator feels these pictures do her amazing and entirely unique creation, Steel Town Girl, justice.

I have to say that for a holo and for any polish really, the application on this was just flawless. I used Nfu-Oh aqua base, but I didn't have to. It was a smooth application, even with the beautiful steel blue shards and generous helping of chunky gold flakes. 

Another crazy thing about this polish I would not have expected was the staying time. I wore this for four days with no chipping or peeling O.o whaaaaa? Unheard of with a holo. I did use G+G Hk Girl topcoat. 

It is much more holo-y irl, and in the light box for some reason it did not photograph as holo as out of the lightbox (click to make bigger!!).

A Charm

My third and maybe final post on Pretty and Polished's Jawbreaker--the first polish I ever posted. I think I got it right this time.

Bottle shots are on my very first post which is oh my gosh over one year ago! See the bottle here.

I don't know if I've ever gone so long without posting. Here's a nice gold foil from the OPI James Bond collection. It's surprisingly sheer, but flashy while wearing, so worth it. It's a little on the yellowish side, but I would say it's a true gold. It took about four coats. I'm not sure if this is indoor or outdoor.
